General Manager

About the Role

Crawlspace Medic, the leading franchise in the crawl space and basement repair industry, offers a unique path to franchise ownership. Investors—current franchisees who believe in the system—will fund the launch of a new market. You will run the business: managing people, P&L, and performance. As the business grows and hits its targets, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchise owner.

You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share on top. Earnings are performance-driven—the better the market performs, the more you earn and the closer you move toward ownership. This model has successfully launched 35 markets.

This is a hands-on, blue-collar business. You’ll sell, coach your team, and perform inspections yourself—including crawling under houses—until you’ve built a team capable of handling the work.

Who Thrives Here

We value character over resume. Ideal candidates demonstrate:

• Servant-hearted leadership
• A willingness to do the work before delegating it
• The grit to be the last line of accountability when things go wrong

Successful candidates come from diverse backgrounds, including veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, and former athletes.

Requirements

• A track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment
• Experience building or enforcing standard operating procedures
• A proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain strong people
• The discipline to have hard conversations early, not after they’ve festered
• An understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level
• Comfort being held fully accountable for results
• A hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation
• The grit to operate under pressure without losing focus

Physical Demands

• Crawl on hands and knees and belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces
• Maneuver in confined areas
• Handle light hand tools as needed

If you’re unwilling to get dirty or crawl under houses, this role is not a good fit.

Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, salary exempt position
• Base salary + uncapped profit sharing
• Company vehicle
• 2 weeks PTO
• Hands-on training and leadership development path

Pay

Projected earnings for top performers:

• Year 1: ~$85,000
• Year 2: ~$100,000–$110,000
• Year 3: ~$125,000–$135,000

These figures do not include the value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
