We're a locally owned and operated restoration company serving Middletown and the surrounding Monmouth County area. As one of our first hires, you won't just be running a crew, you'll be helping set the standard for how we operate as we grow. You'll work directly with the owner, not layers of corporate management.
We Offer:
- Pay: $25-30/hr based on experience
- A leadership role from day one, with real input into how the operation runs
- A defined path forward: Production Manager → Production Supervisor and beyond as the team grows, with bonus potential tied to your crew's production, plus opportunities for pay increases as you earn certifications along the way
- Full training and IICRC-backed certification support
- A close-knit, team-oriented culture where you're helping shape the operation, not lost in a big organization
- Real community impact, helping neighbors right here in Middletown and Monmouth County get back on their feet after water, fire, and mold damage
