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.
