About RCA Services
RCA Services is an independent indoor environmental and property damage consultancy providing technical services across the insurance, property and restoration industries.
Our work includes mould and moisture assessment, Post-Remediation Verification, indoor air quality, environmental assessment and technical consulting associated with property damage.
We don't perform remediation work ourselves. Our role is to independently assess conditions, determine the extent of impact and provide clear technical recommendations to the parties responsible for returning the property to an appropriate condition.
RCA Services is looking for an experienced restoration or environmental professional to join our Melbourne team as an Indoor Environmental Consultant. This position is particularly suited to an experienced restoration technician, restoration supervisor or restoration manager who has developed a strong understanding of water damage, moisture behaviour, mould and building materials and is ready to take the next step into the assessment and consulting side of the industry. Rather than carrying out remediation works, you'll be investigating buildings, determining the extent of impact, collecting and interpreting environmental data, developing recommendations and verifying that remediation has been completed appropriately. Previous experience as an Occupational Hygienist, Environmental Consultant or Building Biologist is also highly regarded.
The Role
You'll work independently across residential and commercial properties throughout metropolitan Melbourne, undertaking inspections and environmental assessments associated with water damage, mould and other indoor environmental conditions.
Your work will include:
- Mould and moisture assessments
- Water-damage investigations and moisture mapping
- Post-Remediation Verification (PRV) inspections
- Indoor environmental and indoor air quality assessments
- Environmental air and surface sampling
- Thermal imaging and moisture detection
- Assessing building materials and potential contamination pathways
- Determining the extent of affected areas
- Developing remediation scopes and technical recommendations
- Documenting findings through photographs, measurements and field observations
- Preparing professional technical reports
- Liaising with insurers, loss adjusters, builders, restoration contractors, property managers and occupants
- Providing independent technical advice throughout the assessment and remediation process
Coming From Restoration?
If you've spent years attending water losses, setting up drying equipment, moisture mapping, managing mould remediation or supervising restoration projects, you may already have much of the practical knowledge we're looking for.
We're interested in people who understand how buildings get wet, how they dry, where moisture hides and what happens when remediation isn't carried out correctly.
We'll help the right candidate develop that practical experience into a broader indoor environmental consulting skillset.
This is an opportunity to move away from primarily performing restoration works and towards investigation, assessment, verification and technical consulting.
Who We're Looking For
Applicants must have previous professional experience in at least one of the following:
- Water damage restoration
- Mould remediation
- Fire and smoke restoration
- Restoration supervision or project management
- Occupational hygiene
- Environmental consulting
- Building biology
- Indoor environmental assessment
Experience with moisture meters, thermal imaging, structural drying, environmental sampling, mould assessment or PRV inspections will be highly regarded.
Relevant qualifications or certifications through IICRC, ACAC or recognised occupational hygiene, environmental science or building biology programs are advantageous, but practical industry experience is equally important.
You'll Be Well Suited If You:
- Understand buildings and building materials
- Have strong knowledge of moisture and water-damage behaviour
- Can walk into a damaged property and methodically investigate what has occurred- Have excellent attention to detail
- Communicate confidently with clients, contractors and other stakeholders
- Can work independently and manage your own site appointments
- Are comfortable documenting and explaining technical findings
- Can prepare clear, professional reports
- Want to continue developing your technical knowledge
- Take pride in producing professional, defensible work
A current Australian driver's licence is required.
The Next Step in Your CareerFor the right restoration professional, this role provides an opportunity to take years of practical knowledge gained in the field and apply it from a different perspective.
Instead of being the person carrying out the drying or remediation, you'll become the person investigating the problem, determining what needs to be done and verifying that it has been done properly.
You'll receive ongoing professional development and have the opportunity to build expertise across mould, moisture, indoor air quality, environmental sampling, PRV and property damage consulting.
