At UDK, we understand the unique nature of our business, and have found great success in growing people from the bottom up.   This type of work takes an individual with character and we love finding the right talent for this distinctive job of cleaning up after fires, floods, mold and the most unusual disasters one can imagine.  


Starting hourly rate: $18.00 or more depending on experience. Increased starting wage will be considered for experienced candidates. 
 
If you have the right character and attitude to offer the team, we have a great job for you.  
Requirements (from our Technicians):

• Great People Skills
  • Each Customer is the Boss.   That means we give our customers exceptional service and work well with our peers to deliver it.  No excuses. 
• Tenacity and Grit! 
  • This job isn’t for the weak-minded (or weak-stomached).  We cleanup what others can’t… or won’t.
• Endurance and Strength.  
  • This is a heavy lifting job and high exertion job.  We want to be working alongside someone that is fit and can keep up with us throughout the entire day and often into the night.
• Ability to work 50 + Hours/week 
  • Disasters are never scheduled, therefore we frequently have to pull together to get the job done even if it means working into the night.
  • Because a disaster could happen any-time-day-or-night, we all take a minimum of eight 24-hour on-call shifts each month (could be more, depending on the needs of the customer).  We do get paid well for this as we are most often getting overtime rates when we get called out, plus call-out bonuses that range from $25-$50 per incident depending on the day of the week and how dirty and stinky the clean-up is. 
• Spot-on references from previous employers
  • If you don’t have a previous employer that can vouch for you, be prepared to give us a good reason why.  
• Clean-cut and tobacco free
  • We show up shower fresh and clean cut each day.  We don’t smell like smoke and would expect the same from you.  
• Reliable Transportation and Clean Driving Record: 
  • Disasters happen in the middle of the night.  We are responsible for arriving to the UDK facility within 30 minutes of being called.   If you do not have your own transportation, this is next to impossible.   In addition, we only put drivers behind the wheel that have a proven record of driving safe.
