Disaster Restoration Technician

Pulliam Restoration – Columbia, SC
Full-Time | Career Path | Performance-Based Growth

Pulliam Restoration is seeking a driven, dependable Restoration Technician to join our mitigation team.

This role is for individuals who take pride in their work, show up ready to perform, and want to build a long-term career in the restoration industry.

Restoration is not a desk job. It is physical, fast-paced, and high-responsibility work that directly impacts people during some of the most stressful times of their lives.

If you want meaningful work and the opportunity to grow - we want to talk.

The Role

As a Restoration Technician, you will respond to water, fire, mold, and specialty mitigation projects and assist in returning properties to safe, pre-loss condition.

Responsibilities include:

• Emergency response to residential and commercial losses

• Water extraction, equipment setup, and monitoring

• Moisture mapping and job documentation

• Controlled demolition and removal of damaged materials

• Cleaning, sanitation, and containment setup

• Operating specialized drying and restoration equipment

• Maintaining organized job sites, vehicles, and equipment

• Communicating professionally with clients and project managers

• Adhering strictly to safety standards and company procedures

Work Expectations

Restoration is an on-demand industry.

This is a full-time position that routinely requires extended hours, overtime, and on-call availability. Work weeks often range between 45–50 hours, and may exceed that during storm events or high-volume periods.

This role is best suited for individuals who:

• Are comfortable working long hours when the workload requires it

• Understand that emergency response does not operate on a 9–5 schedule

• Want strong earning potential through overtime

• Take pride in being dependable when clients need us most

If you are seeking a consistent 40-hour workweek with minimal overtime, this role may not be the right fit.

What We Look For

• Strong work ethic and reliability

• Physical capability to lift and move heavy equipment

• Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability

• Coachability and willingness to learn

• Professional communication skills

• Valid driver's license with clean driving record

Preferred but not required:

• IICRC certifications (WRT, ASD, AMRT, etc.)

• OSHA 10 or 30

• Construction or mitigation experience

We will train the right candidate. Attitude and effort matter.

Compensation & Benefits

• Starting at $18 per hour minimum

• Higher pay based on experience, certifications, and performance

• Significant overtime opportunities

• Performance bonus opportunities

• 401(k) with company match

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage

• PTO and paid holidays

• Clear advancement path into Lead Technician and Crew Chief roles
