About the role
A Day in the Life of a Technician At First Onsite, no two days look the same. One day, you could be helping a business get back to work; the next, you're tackling a major demolition project with your team.

You'll follow proven safety programs and industry standards to keep yourself and your team protected. The work is fast-paced, physically engaging, and incredibly rewarding-there's nothing quite like seeing the tangible difference you make for people and businesses in their time of need. With basic computer skills, you'll track project updates, and you'll quickly become proficient with industry-specific tools and technology along the way.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
