Build a Career. Help People. Be Part of a Team That Has Your Back.
When a homeowner or business has a major water loss, they don’t have time to wait. They need someone who knows what to do, shows up when it matters, and takes pride in getting the job done right.
Standard Restoration is looking for Water Mitigation Technicians to join our Kansas City team.
If you have restoration experience, know your way around extraction and drying equipment, and want to work for a company that invests in its people, this could be a great opportunity to take the next step in your career.
We handle emergency water, fire, and mold restoration—and we’re looking for someone who wants to become an expert in the field, not just punch a clock.

- Removing damaged materials such as drywall, flooring, carpet, and other debris
- Setting up, monitoring, and maintaining restoration equipment
- Maintaining accurate drying documentation and job records
- Following job scopes and work orders while maintaining high-quality standards
- Communicating professionally with customers, teammates, insurance representatives, and other parties
- Keeping jobsites clean, organized, and safe
- Participating in a rotating on-call schedule, including nights and weekends
Every job is different. You’ll be working in real-world environments where problem-solving, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic matter.
