Qualified Builder for Restoration Technician Role

Builder / Restoration Technician

Build. Restore. Make a Difference.

This is a hands-on role ideally suited to someone with a building, construction or trades background who enjoys problem-solving and takes pride in their workmanship.

You’ll work across a variety of insurance restoration projects, including water damage, fire and smoke cleaning, mould remediation, structural cleaning, strip-outs and contents restoration.

• Complete accurate job notes, photographs and documentation
• Identify and report additional damage, hazards or issues
• Follow all company, health and safety and legislative requirements

You’ll be working directly with customers, supervisors, insurers and other contractors, so good communication and a professional attitude are just as important as good trade skills.
