Role Summary
The Foundation Repair & Waterproofing Specialist is responsible for investigating, diagnosing, estimating, and recommending appropriate solutions for foundation, structural, drainage, and water intrusion concerns. This role requires strong hands-on industry experience and the ability to assess properties with limited prior information to determine the probable source of water ingress, structural movement, settlement, or related deficiencies.

o Structural versus non-structural cracking
  • Ability to confidently diagnose water intrusion and foundation issues onsite without predefined scopes or the assistance of subcontractors
  • Ability to identify probable root causes and determine appropriate long-term repair solutions
  • Understanding that Shield primarily specializes in exterior foundation repair and waterproofing solutions rather than interior symptom-management systems
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, structural details, and RFP’s
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities
  • High level of professionalism, accountability, integrity, and attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and perform effectively in a fast-paced environment
