Find & Apply For Mover Jobs in Chesapeake, Virginia

OVERVIEW

Protect what matters. We need a careful, dependable field technician who can handle the physical work, the digital documentation, and the customer trust that come with contents restoration.

WHY THIS ROLE

This is hands-on restoration work with a real standard behind it. You will learn disciplined inventory, packing, chain-of-custody, contents handling, field documentation, transport, cleaning support, and pack-back. If you take pride in doing physical work carefully, showing up when you said you would, and leaving a customer with more confidence than they had when you arrived, you can build real skill here.

YOU WILL OWN

Inventory rooms and contents using approved photo, barcode, labeling, and project systems. Wrap, pad, box, crate, move, load, secure, transport, store, retrieve, and return customer belongings without losing chain of custody. Protect floors, doors, walls, furniture, fragile items, commercial contents, and unaffected property while work is underway. Support approved contents cleaning methods such as HEPA vacuuming, damp wiping, hand cleaning, and deodorization within your training. Verify inventory and condition during pack-back; unpack, place, and reassemble items as directed and document concerns immediately.

YOU WILL PROBABLY THRIVE HERE

IF... You are hands-on, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in customers' homes and businesses. You can move fast without getting sloppy with labels, photos, packing, chain of custody, or property protection. You use technology without drama and communicate problems early. You can flex with field assignments, travel, and restoration schedules.

MUST-HAVES

Valid driver license and ability to satisfy company motor-vehicle and insurance requirements for work-related driving. Ability to learn and consistently use mobile devices, inventory/project software, barcodes, labels, cameras, timekeeping, and moving/cleaning equipment. Ability to follow safety procedures, written and verbal instructions, and detailed documentation requirements. Ability to meet the schedule and travel requirements of a field restoration operation. Ability to perform the essential physical functions, including lifting and carrying items up to 50 pounds independently when required, with team lifts or approved equipment for heavier or awkward items, with reasonable accommodation as required by law.

NICE-TO-HAVES

Experience in contents restoration, moving, warehousing, cleaning, hospitality, construction, logistics, or customer service. IICRC or other relevant restoration training or certification. Experience handling fragile, high-value, sentimental, or commercial property.

DO NOT APPLY

IF... You need to be chased to arrive on time, finish details, or communicate a problem. You think labels, photos, counts, and job notes are someone else's paperwork. You are careless with other people's belongings or get defensive when a mistake needs to be fixed. You want a predictable desk job with fixed daily scenery and zero schedule flexibility.

SCHEDULE / TRAVEL / CONDITIONS

Normally Monday through Friday, with start and end times that vary by assignment. Evening, weekend, overnight, overtime, emergency-response, and limited on-call work may be required. Work is generally within about a three-hour driving radius of Chesapeake, Virginia, but assignments can extend beyond that area and overnight travel may be required. Work can take place in homes, businesses, warehouses, vehicles, loading areas, and active restoration sites affected by water, fire, smoke, soot, mold, odors, dust, or debris. PPE and site controls are required. You may stand, walk, bend, kneel, crouch, reach, push, pull, climb stairs or ladders, drive, and perform repetitive hand work.

Note:

criminal history is evaluated based on the nature/seriousness of the offense, time elapsed, and nature of the job rather than using a blanket conviction exclusion. Our scheduled start time means you are dressed, clocked in, equipped, and ready to work at that time—not pulling into the parking lot. Can you meet that standard every scheduled workday? This position requires repeated lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling; stair carries; bending and kneeling; and extended periods on your feet. Can you perform these essential job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation? Thinking about your most recent 12 months of scheduled work, approximately how many times did you arrive after your scheduled start time? Describe the hardest full day of work you have completed in the last two years. Give the start time, finish time, type of work, conditions, crew size, and specifically what YOU personally did, not the team you were working with. Would each of your past 3 supervisors who directly observed your work verify your punctuality (showing up on time), attendance, work pace, quality, safety, professionalism and whether they would rehire you?

Note:

reference checks are one of the methods we use to verify work history and job performance. Describe the most consequential mistake YOU personally made at work during the past five years. What happened, what was your responsibility for it, what did you do after realizing the mistake, and what did you change afterward? You are tasked with removing a large piece of furniture out of a bedroom. It does not appear the item will fit through the door. What would you do? (Be specific and explain your steps in order.) You are working inside a customer's home and observe a coworker take a valuable item and place it in their pocket. The customer does not appear to have noticed, and no supervisor is currently in the room. Describe exactly what you would do next, including what you would NOT do. Tell me about the toughest challenge you have had to solve at work in the past year. What was the circumstance, what was your role in it, how did you assess the situation, and how did you respond? With the benefit of hindsight, what would you do differently if faced with the same challenge today? Maximum 6 sentences. Tell me about a specific time when your assigned work was finished but the overall job or your coworkers' work was not. What did you do next? Be specific about the circumstances and what YOU did. If your work history contains any period of 30 consecutive days or more that is not accounted for elsewhere on your application, please briefly identify what you were doing during that period. Do not include medical conditions. During your most recent 12 months of scheduled work, how many full or partial workdays did you miss for reasons in your control? Exclude pre-approved vacation/PTO, employer-approved leave, and days your employer canceled your scheduled work. Is there any other detail you would like to provide regarding your responses above? Do not include medical information.
