Job Title: Lead Mitigation Technician / Mitigation Supervisor
Location: Paul Davis Restoration of Downriver Detroit
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, and customer communication. Take charge on-site, manage technician performance, and ensure jobs start strong and finish right.
What We’re Looking For:
This is not a basic tech role. We’re looking for someone with real-world field experience in mitigation—bonus if you have reconstruction skills or a handyman background. You're the person who shows up ready, takes the lead without being told, and makes everyone around you look better. If you like being the one people rely on when it really matters, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do:
- Respond to new emergency losses quickly and lead on-site execution
- Handle inspections, demo, moisture mapping, extraction, equipment setup
- Maintain field documentation (DASH, Xactimate, Docusketch)
- Coordinate with the team to ensure jobs run on time and under control
- Lead and train mitigation techs, delegate tasks, and set quality standards
- Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours emergency response
- Assist in post-mitigation cleaning, contents, or estimating as needed
