About Us
At First Atlantic Restoration, we help people recover from water, fire, and mold damage with urgency, care, and professionalism. Our team takes pride in being the first on the scene when disaster strikes — and the last to leave when a home or business is safe again. If you’re hands-on, calm under pressure, and ready to lead from the front, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Do
· Work as part of a team on water, fire, and mold remediation projects
· Conduct detailed damage assessments and develop action plans
· Set up and monitor drying equipment (air movers, dehumidifiers, etc.)
· Perform demolition when necessary (e.g., baseboards, drywall, flooring)
· Oversee moisture mapping and job documentation (paperwork & digital)
· Communicate clearly with customers throughout the project
· Uphold company standards and ensure high-quality restoration work
What You Should Expect
· Fast-paced work, often in emergency situations
· Getting dirty (yes, sometimes smelly, wet, or physically intense)
· Deep job satisfaction when a customer says: “Thank you for saving my home.”
· Being on-call in rotation — storms and leaks don’t clock out at 5 PM
· Being part of a crew that has your back, no matter how tough the job
The pay range for this position is $19 - $26 per hour with commissions, on-call bonuses and overtime available.
What We're Looking For
· Strong attention to detail, communication skills and commitment to doing the job right
· Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work in tight/confined spaces, and stand for long periods
· Valid driver’s license with clean driving record
· Comfortable using mobile apps to record information
What You’ll Get
· Competitive hourly pay + overtime + project bonuses
· Shared company vehicle for commuting to job sites
· Paid certifications and advancement paths
· 100% Paid Health Insurance Premium
· Dental, vision and life insurance plans available
· PTO, paid holidays and 401(k)
· Gym Wellness Incentive
· Cell Phone Allowance
· Scholarship and Home Ownership Programs
· Family-like team environment and leadership that listens
Compensation: $19.00 - $26.00 per hour
