Mission:
The Skilled Field Remodeling Technician is responsible for completing high-quality residential remodeling, repairs, service work, warranty work, punch-list items, and small projects for GM Renovations. This is a skilled field position that requires the technician to evaluate assigned work, plan an efficient approach, solve normal field conditions, and deliver clean, durable finished results with limited supervision while protecting the client's home and representing GM Renovations professionally.
The core outcome is to complete high-quality remodeling work safely, professionally, and with full ownership from planning through final cleanup.
Major Outcomes:
- High-End Craftsmanship - Complete finished work that is accurate, durable, clean, and consistent with GM Renovations quality standards. Work should pass self-inspection and final review without repeated corrections.
- Small Project Ownership - Take assigned small projects from scope review through planning, material coordination, execution, documentation, cleanup, and closeout with limited supervision.
- Versatile Field Execution - Perform a broad range of remodeling repairs, installations, finishes, and service work within demonstrated ability, using the correct method and requesting specialized help when needed.
- Professional Client Care - Communicate respectfully with homeowners, explain progress appropriately, protect the property, and maintain a clean and organized experience in and around the home.
- Early Issue Reporting - Raise field conflicts, concealed conditions, material needs, safety concerns, and customer-requested changes early so management can respond before they affect quality, cost, or schedule.
- Clean and Safe Jobsites - Protect work areas, finished surfaces, furnishings, access areas, tools, and people. Control hazards, dust, debris, cords, and daily cleanup so each site remains secure and presentable.
- Reliable Completion - Move assigned work steadily toward completion, correct deficiencies, and communicate risks promptly rather than leaving commitments unfinished.
- Responsible Stewardship - Handle company time, materials, tools, vehicles, receipts, technology, and client property carefully and honestly while minimizing waste, damage, loss, and avoidable return trips.
