Lead Mitigation Technician Reports To: Project Manager / General Manager
Location: Paul Davis Restoration of Downriver Detroit
Job Type: Full-Time | Field-Based | On-Call Rotation Required
Primary Goal Own the successful execution of all emergency mitigation services—water, fire, mold, and storm damage—by leading the field team, coordinating response, and setting the standard for technical excellence, documentation, customer communication, and compliance with insurance and industry requirements.
This role is responsible for ensuring jobs start strong, are executed correctly, and finish right.
What We’re Looking For This is not a basic technician role.
We are looking for someone with
real-world mitigation experience
who can step into leadership in the field while working collaboratively within a team and a regulated environment.
You take initiative without being told, but you also understand that restoration work must sometimes be performed a specific way to meet insurance, carrier, or IICRC requirements—even if that differs from how you’ve done things elsewhere.
If you like being the person people rely on when it really matters, and you can lead without ego, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do
Respond quickly to new emergency losses and lead on-site mitigation work
Perform inspections, demolition, moisture mapping, extraction, and equipment setup
Maintain accurate and timely field documentation (DASH, Xactimate, Docusketch, or similar)
Coordinate with ownership and other leads when scope, documentation, or carrier requirements impact job execution
Lead and train mitigation technicians, delegate tasks, and set quality standards
Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours emergency response
Assist with post-mitigation cleaning, contents, or estimating as needed
How You’ll Lead (Important)
You are expected to take ownership and act decisively in the field
You must be comfortable collaborating with ownership and other leads when insurance regulations, IICRC standards, or company processes require a specific approach
This role requires flexibility and professionalism when methods must be adjusted for compliance
“That’s not how I’ve always done it” is not a reason to ignore required processes
What You Bring
Strong mitigation experience (water, fire, mold, storm damage)
Ability to lead a small crew with professionalism, calm, and accountability
Comfort with field documentation systems (DASH, Xactimate, Docusketch, or similar)
IICRC certifications are a major bonus
(WRT/ASD strongly preferred; FSRT a plus)
Reconstruction or handyman experience is a strong bonus
Comfortable with on-call rotation and after-hours response
Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and work in physically demanding environments
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Why Join Paul Davis Restoration of Downriver Detroit We are a new franchise backed by a powerhouse national brand. This is a hands‑on, team‑driven startup environment where standards matter and leadership is earned through action.

Leadership development and real career growth opportunities
Bonus program based on job performance and department goals
