Job description

Turn chaos into clarity. Experienced Xactimate pro creating accurate, timely estimates for water, fire, mould, and disaster restoration projects.

Full-time

Ever look at a disaster site and instantly see the scope, the fix, and the numbers behind it? Do you love turning chaos into clarity — with a clean, accurate estimate to prove it?

If you’re an experienced Xactimate pro who thrives in fast-paced, insurance-driven environments, Klean-Rite wants you on our Restoration Team.

The Role

As our Estimator, you’ll be at the heart of emergency response — creating accurate, timely estimates for water, fire, mould, and disaster restoration projects. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, emergency crews, and insurance partners to keep projects moving smoothly from loss to restoration.

You won’t be stuck behind a desk all day — but you will be the person everyone relies on to get the numbers right.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepare detailed mitigation and reconstruction estimates for emergency losses
• Complete quantity take-offs for demo, drying, contents, cleaning, restoration, and rebuild work
• Identify scope gaps, risks, and changes — and prepare supplements as needed
• Ensure estimates align with insurer guidelines, industry standards, and company pricing

Scope Review & Documentation

• Review site reports, photos, loss details, and supporting documentation
• Validate scopes so nothing gets missed
• Maintain complete, accurate estimating files in company systems

Insurance & Client Submissions

• Submit estimates, supplements, and revisions through insurance platforms
• Respond confidently to adjusters and clients with clear explanations and documentation
• Meet insurer timelines and compliance requirements

Workflow & Time Management

• Reprioritize quickly when emergency calls come in
• Work closely with Project Managers and emergency response crews
• Communicate professionally with adjusters, property managers, subcontractors, and suppliers
• Support junior estimators and contribute to continuous improvement and quality control

What You Bring

• 2+ years of progressive estimating experience, ideally in insurance-driven restoration
• Strong understanding of water, fire, mould, and contents restoration
• Proven ability to virtually build accurate restoration estimates
• Experience with Encircle, DocuSketch, and similar tools
• Excellent attention to detail and cost accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple projects under tight timelines
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort working independently while collaborating with a busy operations team
• Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel

Certifications (one or more preferred)

• IICRC WRT, FSRT, OCT, and/or AMRT

Other Must-Haves

• Strong knowledge of the Canadian restoration industry
• Flexibility for after-hours or on-call work when emergencies happen
• Valid driver’s licence with a clean abstract

Why Klean-Rite?

• Work with a respected restoration team that values accuracy, professionalism, and teamwork
• Be trusted to do meaningful, high-impact work
• Opportunity to grow your career and mentor others
