Water Damage Technician – Winnipeg

  • Winnipeg, Manitoba
  • Trades

Compensation: $18 – $20/ hour (full-time / permanent)

 

Ever felt like you’re drowning in stress? Water damage in a home or business is one of the most stressful
events our clients might ever experience. Water Damage Technicians at On Side do the work to evaporate
water-related stress, bringing calm, order and dryness to all!

 

The Job – Water Damage Technician

At On Side, Water Damage Technicians (WDTs) go wherever a burst pipe, blocked drain, sewer backup
(yes, sometimes it’s one of those situations) or other water-related disaster calls.

Besides working for the main branch, this position may also have a focus on our Health Care work:
cleanliness and attention to detail are key factors.

Understanding the urgency of the situation and working with customers in a caring, calm and empathetic
manner are paramount to the success of a WDTs day! Working as a team, WDTs mop up the mess to
ensure everything is shipshape and ready to get back to the pre-disaster state.

 

What you bring:
A WDT brings a bunch of abilities to their work, the most important being a ‘get it done!’ attitude.

  • Mechanical aptitude— you can look at something and just know how it works
    Ability to work with a variety of hand tools
    Detail oriented when it comes to cleanliness: mitigating contaminants and dust. When working in
    Health Care, cleanliness is key
    Organized with a good sense of time— you’re rarely late and know where all your tools are
    Physically fit— water damage can, at times, include heavy lifting and getting into (and out of) tight
    places
    Demolition- careful, mindful, good housekeeping
    A safety-first mindset
    Ability to travel within province
    Follow directions
    Work independently
    Reliable
    Customer service
    Strong work ethic
    Valid driver’s licence & clean drivers abstract
    Able to successfully satisfy On Side’s criminal record check requirements
    Ability to communicate in English at an intermediate level

Past industry experience (although not required) that can translate into success as a WDT includes:
demolition work, carpenter, apprentice, construction labourer, plumber, farm hand, janitor, landscaper,
vac truck operator, laborer, swamper, technician.

 

Other stuff that will contribute to your success but isn’t required:

  • IICRC Water Damage Technician Certification (if you don’t have this, we’ll help you get it!)

 

Of Note
Disasters can strike at any time so a rotating schedule of 24/7 after hours on-call work is a requirement.

 

What’s in it for you?
We’re an established company in a growing industry and we need awesome people! We WANT you to be
fulfilled by your work, we WANT you to enjoy the people you work with and we WANT to provide you with
learning and advancement opportunities. We also love that we’re able to provide an employee assistance
program, RRSP matching and a comprehensive health plan which includes extended medical (ex.
chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, vision) dental, long-term disability (LTD) and life insurance. At On
Side we work hard to embrace diversity and inclusion and encourage everyone to bring their authentic
selves to work every day.

 

Get on our side!
Both major weather disasters and minor accidents involving water, fire, and more happen every day, and
in our industry, this is how we keep busy, restoring properties 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Mother
Nature usually doesn’t wait for an invitation, but we’re in the business of dealing with party crashers, and
we’ve done it for over 40 years!

We have branches from Victoria, BC to St. John’s, Newfoundland and (almost) everywhere in between.
Our fantastic team of over 2,000 employees stretches far and wide across Canada, and we’re growing—
YOU could be the next great addition!
