Job description

Water Restoration Technician (Flood Tech) – Vernon, BC

We’re looking for someone who wants more than just a job, we’re looking for someone who wants to build a solid career in restoration.

We handle floods, fires, and rebuilds, so the work is hands-on, fast-paced, and actually makes a difference for people going through tough situations.

If you like staying busy, working with a good crew, and seeing real results at the end of the day, you’ll fit in well here.

💥What the job actually looks like

This is a hands-on, physical role where no two days are the same. You’ll be:

  • Leading water damage and emergency response jobs
  • Setting up and managing drying systems
  • Directing and supporting crew members on site
  • Monitoring moisture, documentation, and job progress
  • Ensuring jobs are completed safely, efficiently, and to standard
  • Working directly with homeowners during stressful situations

Some days are fast-paced and messy. Some are quieter. You need to be good with both.

💰What you get

  • Full-time, steady work
  • Competitive hourly wage + overtime
  • Extended health & dental benefits
  • Vacation pay
  • Cell phone or allowance
  • Work shirts provided (steel toe boots required)
  • Paid training & opportunity to get IICRC certified
  • Company support and proper equipment to run your jobs

☀️We take care of our crew

This is physical work, especially in the Okanagan heat. We make sure you’re set up for it:

  • Hydration kits (coolers with water, Gatorade, ice packs)
  • Snacks and protein bars available
  • You’re not just a number, we’re a tight team, not a big corporate operation
  • A team that looks out for each other on long or tough days

We don’t expect people to grind through extreme conditions without support.

👍What makes someone successful here

  • Shows up on time and can be counted on
  • Comfortable doing physical work all day
  • Keeps a good attitude, even on tough jobs
  • Treats customers with respect and professionalism
  • Works well with a team but doesn’t need constant direction

✅What you’ll need

  • Valid BC Driver’s Licence (clean abstract required)
  • Ability to pass a criminal record check
  • Experience in restoration, construction, or labour is an asset
  • IICRC WRT certification is a bonus (we can help you get it)
  • Experience driving a cube van or similar is an asset

⚠️A quick note about the role

This position includes an on-call rotation. We work to keep it fair and balanced, but flexibility is important in this industry.

Apply

If you’re looking for a job where you can work hard, be part of a solid team, and build a future, we’d like to hear from you.

Send us your resume and a quick note about yourself.
