Restoration 1 of Chicago Southland
New Lenox, IL
Restoration 1 of Chicago Southland is a family-owned restoration company looking for a working Team Lead—someone who can lead from the front, not from the sidelines.

This is not an entry-level role. We need a hands-on leader who knows mitigation work, understands standards, and can keep jobs moving while taking care of customers and the crew.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead mitigation jobs (water, fire, mold, odor) from setup to dry-out

  • Direct and support technicians on site

  • Communicate clearly with homeowners, adjusters, and property managers

  • Set and monitor equipment properly (air movers, dehus, containment, etc.)

  • Ensure work is completed to IICRC standards and company expectations

  • Maintain job documentation (photos, notes, moisture readings)

  • Keep the truck, equipment, and job sites clean and professional

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years restoration/mitigation experience (preferred)

  • Prior leadership or lead-tech experience preferred

  • Strong understanding of water mitigation processes and dry-out principles

  • IICRC certifications (WRT required; ASD/FSRT/MRST a plus—or willingness to earn)

  • Valid driver’s license & clean driving record

  • Calm under pressure, professional with customers, firm but fair with crew

  • Someone who takes ownership and finishes what they start

What You Get

  • Competitive hourly pay (based on experience)

  • Overtime opportunities

  • Paid training and certification support

  • Growth path into senior leadership as the company expands

  • A team that treats people like adults—not numbers

Why Restoration 1 of Chicago Southland

We’re small on purpose and growing on purpose. That means:

  • You’re heard

  • Your work matters

  • Your leadership actually counts

If you’re tired of chaos, shortcuts, and companies that talk culture but don’t live it—this is worth your time.

Pay Range $25-$28 /hour
