Job posting

Restoration Technician

About the role

You are the first crew on site after a loss. Fire, water damage, sewer backup, vandalism: your job is to stabilize the situation, prevent further damage and get the building ready for reconstruction.

This is hands-on, physical work. Every call is different and you see the results of your work by the end of the day. No restoration experience is required — we train our technicians in-house.

Key responsibilities

Emergency response:

Respond quickly to loss sites and secure the premises

Perform water extraction and set up drying equipment (dehumidifiers, air movers)

Take moisture readings and monitor the drying process daily

Board up and provide temporary protection for the building

Carry out demolition and removal of non-salvageable materials

Cleaning and restoration:

Perform post-loss cleaning: soot, smoke, odours and mould

Apply decontamination procedures based on the type of loss

Pack out, inventory and move the policyholder's contents

Operate and maintain specialized equipment

Documentation and reporting:

Take before, during and after photos on every job

Complete work orders and daily time sheets

Keep the project manager updated on job progress

What we are looking for

No restoration experience required — full training provided in-house

Experience in construction, renovation, maintenance or cleaning is an asset

Good physical condition (standing work, lifting, confined spaces)

Resourceful and able to work without constant supervision





Reliable and punctual: policyholders and insurers count on us showing up

Respectful and personable: you enter the homes of people who have just lost everything

Valid driver's licence (class 5) — essential for travel to job sites

Available for on-call rotation (evenings and weekends) for emergency response

IICRC certification (WRT, ASD) or ASP Construction card is an asset — otherwise we pay for training

What we offer

Permanent, full time position

Salary based on experience — on-call premium during standby weeks

Training and certifications paid by the employer

Vehicle and equipment provided for emergency calls

Location: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield — service area covers Montreal and Monteregie

Why join Première Générale

A trade you learn with us: start with no experience, leave with a skill set

No two days alike: residential, commercial and institutional losses

An experienced, well-established restoration team

Work that matters: you are the first help a policyholder sees arrive
