Job description

Love a challenge? Have Xactimate level II? Thrive under pressure? Know how to turn chaos into progress and projects into success? We're looking for a client driven, hands-on Project Manager who can bring people together, solve problems on the fly, and keep restoration and reconstruction projects moving from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. As our Project Manager (internally known as Project Manager II), you'll lead with confidence, and deliver results that matter - keeping projects on schedule, on budget, and profitable while building client trust every step of the way.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PROJECT MANAGER

As a Project Manager, you take full ownership of every restoration project, leading from kickoff to completion with precision and purpose. You'll scope losses, prepare detailed estimates, and manage budgets to ensure every project stays profitable and on schedule. You'll keep teams, subcontractors, and resources working in sync, driving progress while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. You'll engage directly with homeowners, adjusters, and insurers to build trust, communicate clearly, and keep expectations aligned. You'll stay ahead of potential issues, solving challenges quickly and keeping work moving without delay. You'll also mentor junior project managers and supervisors, building their skills and ensuring consistency across every job you touch. Each day, your leadership, problem-solving, and commitment to excellence will deliver outstanding results for clients and your team alike.
