Mitigation Technician

At UDK/DK, we understand the unique nature of our business and have found great success in growing people from the bottom up. This work takes an individual with character, and we love finding the right talent for the distinctive job of cleaning up after fires, floods, mold, and the most unusual disasters imaginable.

About the role

We keep our service technicians on track and motivated with a system composed of experience, training, testing, and 360 reviews that add structure, feedback, and motivation to stay on task.

Starting hourly rate: $18.00/hour with no experience. Increased starting wage will be considered for experienced candidates. With overtime pay and call-out bonuses, the average technician will earn $40,000 in their first year at UDK.

• Tenacity and grit — this job isn’t for the weak-minded or weak-stomached; we clean up what others can’t or won’t
• Endurance and strength — heavy lifting and high exertion; must be fit and able to keep up throughout long workdays, often into the night
• Ability to work 50 hours per week
• Clean-cut and tobacco-free appearance
• Reliable transportation and a clean driving record — must be able to arrive at the UDK facility within 30 minutes of being called, day or night

• Starting hourly rate: $18.00/hour (higher for experienced candidates)
• Overtime pay and call-out bonuses ($30–$60 per incident, depending on the day of the week)
