JOB PURPOSE/Position Overview

➢ Mission: See Employee Handbook

➢ Brief History of Company and Company Owner(s): Service Restoration specializes in Damage Restoration/Mitigation, Construction/Rebuild, Trauma Restoration, and Contents Refurbishing. Service Restoration was founded by Dan Schmidt who became dedicated to the field of Restoration in 2014. Service Restoration is headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota and has multiple locations across the United States. Service Restoration is a rapidly expanding company offering many opportunities.

➢ Brief Position Overview: The Technician Level One is an entry-level, general labor, position responsible primarily for performing the manual labor required to mitigate damage to property resulting from water, fire, flood, storm, trauma, or other sources. This position may assist the Construction/Rebuild Department with the continuation of the restoration of damaged properties.

ROLE OF DEPARTMENT: The Damage Restoration/Mitigation Department handles a significant portion of Service Restoration’s business and handles the first stage of the mitigation process.

When a property is damaged due to flood, fire, natural disaster, trauma, or similar, the Damage Restoration/Mitigation team comes in to stop further damage to property; remove property to be restored, mitigate damages, test for mold; remove smoke or water damage from belongings; and other functions as required to get the property to a state ready for reconstruction. This is when the Construction/Rebuild team comes in, if they have not already been involved in the mitigation process, and steps in to begin the restoration process for the property.
