Job Description

If you've been in the thick of post-disaster cleanups, wrangled Xactimate like a pro, or helped clients navigate insurance chaos - you're speaking our language = restoration.

First Onsite is strategically looking for a seasoned Project Manager with 2+ years of industry experience to scope, sketch and estimate what it takes to bring properties back to life after disaster strikes.

You’ll be the calm in the storm for our clients - guiding them with confidence, clarity, and care during some of their toughest days.

In return, you’ll enjoy a competitive salary, commission , and benefits that actually benefit you - like extended health (medical, dental, vision), educational and professional development support, national growth opportunities, and the kind of work / life balance that makes life better.

So, if you’ve got the insurance or restoration industry experience, a great attitude, and a knack for turning "Oh no!" into "All good!" - we want to hear from you.
