Contents Technician

If you enjoy hands-on work, learning advanced restoration techniques, and mentoring others, this is the role for you. As a Contents Crew Lead (Internally known as Contents Technician II), you'll play a key part in helping people recover what matters most. You'll take pride in restoring items affected by fire, water, and mold while guiding teammates, mastering specialized equipment, and making a real impact on every project.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CONTENTS CREW LEAD

As a Contents Crew Lead, no two days are ever the same. One morning you might be restoring treasured family photos, and by afternoon you could be cleaning specialized equipment or mentoring a new team member. You roll up your sleeves and dive into each job with focus and pride, using advanced tools and cleaning systems to bring belongings back to life. You track and photograph contents, keep meticulous records, and make sure every item is handled with care. You troubleshoot, problem-solve, and stay one step ahead to keep projects on schedule. You take ownership of your work and lead by example, creating a positive, efficient, and safe environment for your team. Every day, your skill, energy, and attention to detail help turn chaos into calm for clients when they need it most.
