EMERGENCY SERVICES TECHNICIAN Full-Time | In-Person | Field-Based | Paid Training & Certifications ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Do you do the job right the first time — or do you do it until someone catches the mistake? We are building a team of technicians who take the field seriously. People who follow the plan, document what they do, protect the equipment, and leave every jobsite better than they found it. People who are proud of the work — not just present for the shift. If that sounds like you, keep reading. Experience in restoration is not required. The right attitude is. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO WE ARE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake is a growing emergency services and restoration company serving Hampton Roads.
