When a pipe bursts at 2 a.m. or a family comes home to a flooded basement, we're the team that shows up. PuroClean Disaster Response is hiring a full-time Restoration Technician to perform water damage restoration, mold remediation, and fire and smoke cleanup in homes and businesses across Central New Jersey. No restoration experience required — we provide paid, hands-on training and pay for your IICRC industry certifications.
