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. Instead of requiring upfront capital, we partner with investors—current franchisees who fund the market—while you run the business. As the business grows and hits performance targets, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee, owning the business outright.

You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share, earning more as the market performs better. This is a performance-driven opportunity to build and own a business in your community.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the people, P&L, and performance of the franchise.
• Sell services, coach your team, and perform hands-on work (including inspections) until a team is built to handle operations.
• Recruit, develop, and retain strong employees.
• Enforce and build standard operating procedures.
• Handle sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.
• Operate under pressure while maintaining accountability for results.

Requirements

• Track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment.
• Experience building or enforcing standard operating procedures.
• Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain strong people.
• Discipline to address challenges early, not after they escalate.
• Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.
• Comfort with full accountability for results.
• Hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation.
• Grit to operate under pressure without losing focus.

Physical Demands: Expect to crawl on hands and knees, belly-crawl through tight spaces, maneuver in confined areas, and handle light hand tools. This role is hands-on and requires comfort working in dirty, physically demanding conditions.

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

Earnings potential for top performers:

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

Additional value comes from ownership stake once you buy into the franchise.
