Flood Emergency Services Group Pty Ltd – West Melbourne VIC

For over 27 years, Flood Emergency Services (FES) has delivered fast, reliable and professional water damage restoration services to homes and businesses across Australia.

Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, our team responds rapidly to water damage events including burst pipes, storm damage, flooding, sewage incidents and other emergencies. Our mission is to minimise damage, restore properties efficiently and provide peace of mind to clients during challenging circumstances.

As one of Australia's fastest-growing restoration companies, we are investing heavily in our people, systems and national operations, creating genuine long-term career opportunities for motivated individuals.

The Chance

We are currently seeking full-time, permanent Water Damage Restoration Technicians to join our growing teams across Australia.

This role is ideal for practical, hands-on individuals who enjoy problem-solving, working in different environments and helping people during emergencies.

Most work is scheduled during standard business hours, Monday to Friday.

However, as FES provides a 24/7 emergency response service, technicians participate in a rotating on-call roster covering evenings, weekends and public holidays. When rostered on call, technicians may need to respond to emergency water damage events outside normal business hours.

Additional hours and interstate travel may also arise during major weather events and catastrophe responses.
