Mitigation Technician

 High Pay, Overtime & Real Advancement: Earn $28–$33/Hr as a Mitigation Tech

About

At Boston Harbor Water Restoration in Weymouth, MA, we do things differently. We are a fast-growing, tech-forward restoration company led by a young, driven team that genuinely cares about investing in our people. While the restoration industry is notorious for high churn and treating techs like temporary bodies, we operate like a championship team: we hire higher-skilled, high-drive professionals, hold a high standard, and pay accordingly. 

We live by three core values: Hustle, Discipline, and Teamwork. Around here, respect and trust are earned through consistency and quality work. If you take pride in your craft, love being alongside high-performing co-workers, want to increase your income over time, and are seeking an opportunity to build a long-term career with a company that has your back, you'll fit right in.

About the Role

We are seeking a Mitigation Technician. In this role, you are the frontline hero helping homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, and property emergencies. You will perform hands-on containment, demolition, extraction, and restoration while capturing project data digitally. 

You need to be a driven individual, looking to grow, and earn more. In fact, if you are working towards saving for a new vehicle, house, or anything else, this job will help you get there faster! You can work additional hours and receive OT pay. And, we want team members who care - show up on time (or early!), take pride in their work, and naturally give 100% effort in everything, and want to help.

This isn't just a daily labor job - it is a launchpad. We expect technicians to master project scopes rather swiftly, run jobs self-sufficiently without hand-holding, and position themselves to advance into Lead Technician or Production Manager roles, if that is desired.

What's In It for You

• Top-Tier Hourly Pay: $28.00 – $33.00 per hour (based on experience and technical skill).

• Massive Overtime Earnings: Techs average 50 hours per week. Massive overtime earnings are available during busy winter months (up to 6–7 days/week for those who want to maximize their paycheck).

• Paid Time Off (PTO): 10 days of PTO per year.

• Sick Days: 5 dedicated sick days.

• Paid Holidays: 7 paid holidays per year.

• Retirement: 401(k) with up to a 3.5% company match.

• Tech & Fleet: Company vans, gas cards provided for work, top-of-the-line restoration equipment, and modern app-based tools.

• Real Advancement: Clear pathway to higher hourly rates and Production Manager roles as you demonstrate reliability and skill.

Core Responsibilities

• Daily Execution: Arrive at the shop by 6:30 AM, load up the van with necessary gear, and hit the road with your partner by 6:45 AM in company vehicle.

• Site Work: Complete 1 or 2 smaller jobs per day, including water extraction, setting up plastic containment/protection, demolition (drywall, flooring, cabinet removal), sewage cleanup, and packouts to PODs.

• Equipment Management: Transport, set up, monitor, and tear down drying equipment. Clean and unload gear back at the shop dumpster at the end of the day.

• Digital Documentation: Use mobile apps daily to clock in/out, take site measurements, capture high-quality job photos, and maintain accurate project notes.

• On-Call Rotation: Participate in a fair on-call schedule (typically 1 week per month when fully staffed). Respond promptly to emergency after-hours calls to extract water and set up equipment.

Required & Preferred Experience

• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in water/fire mitigation and restoration preferred. Candidates with strong backgrounds in carpentry, demolition, or skilled construction trades ready to learn restoration are also encouraged to apply.

• Tool Proficiency: Proven comfort and skill operating power tools (Sawzall, drills, hand tools) for clean, safe demolition.

• Valid Driver's License: Must have a clean driving record and be eligible to drive company fleet vehicles.

• Tech-Savvy: Ability to comfortably use mobile phone applications for site documentation, photo uploads, and time tracking.

• Physical Capability: Ability to perform heavy lifting, work in tight spaces, and handle physically demanding tasks (including sewage or dirty environments) safely and efficiently.

Key Attributes for Success

• Uncompromising Punctuality: You arrive at the Weymouth shop before 6:30 AM ready to work. Showing up late or calling out unexcused does not fly with us or your teammates.

• Pride in Workmanship: You leave job sites spotless, follow SOPs to the letter, and care about the quality of the work you deliver to stress-free customers.

• No-Complaints Mindset: Every day brings something different - from high-end home cabinet removal to messy sewage extractions. You tackle it all with a positive, can-do attitude. Every day is something different and new.

• Team First: You pull your own weight, support your van partner, and step up when the team needs an extra hand during emergency calls. (They aren't as often as you would think.)
