Looking for more than just another hourly job?

Pulliam Restoration is hiring Restoration Technicians to join our growing mitigation team. No restoration experience is required for the right candidate - we will train you.

This is hands-on work where every day is different. You'll learn professional water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation, demolition, structural drying, and the use of specialized restoration equipment.

For someone who works hard, learns quickly, and can be counted on, this position offers a real path to advance into Lead Technician, Crew Chief, and other restoration career opportunities.

Your work may include:

• Water extraction and structural drying

We'll provide the training and processes. We're looking for someone willing to learn them and take pride in doing the job correctly.

Experience is helpful, but attitude, reliability, and work ethic matter more.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Show up on time and ready to work

• Can work independently and as part of a team

Construction, maintenance, moving, warehouse, landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, military, automotive, or other hands-on experience can translate well to restoration.

IICRC and OSHA certifications are a plus, but not required.

• Starting pay of at least $18/hour
• Higher starting pay available based on experience and certifications
• Overtime opportunities
• Performance bonus opportunities
• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• PTO and paid holidays

Property damage doesn't always happen during normal business hours, so restoration requires some schedule flexibility.

This is a full-time position, and overtime is common. Our technicians typically have opportunities to work approximately 45–50 hours per week, with additional hours possible during busy periods and major loss events.

Team members also participate in an on-call rotation for emergency response.

For someone who wants the opportunity to work, earn overtime, and build a career, that can be a major advantage of the restoration industry.
