Job description

In asbestos abatement, there is no gray area.

EPA NESHAP is not optional.

OSHA 1926.1101 is not flexible. NMED compliance is not negotiable.

Documentation must be airtight. Containment must be precise. Profit must be protected.

If you are an experienced abatement leader who understands both regulatory exposure and financial performance — this role is built for you.

Who We Are

Next Level Restoration & Remodel is an Albuquerque-based restoration and remodel company built on integrity, accountability, craftsmanship, and consistency. We are building a high-performance Abatement Department designed to operate profitably, compliantly, and independently — without daily owner intervention. This is a department leadership seat.

The Role

Role Title: Abatement Production Manager

You are responsible for the full operational and financial performance of the Abatement Department.

That includes:

• Full compliance with EPA NESHAP, OSHA 1926.1101, NMED regulations, and City of Albuquerque notification requirements
• Oversight of containment strategy, negative air configuration, decontamination procedures, and inspection readiness
• Division-level gross margin and net profit performance
• Crew leadership, accountability, and development
• Capacity planning to support structured 25% annual growth

This is not a project manager position. This is department ownership.

What Success Looks Like

You are successful in this role when:

• All projects pass inspection with zero compliance exposure
• Notifications, manifests, and logs are audit-ready at all times
• Labor and equipment deployment protect gross margin
• Financial performance is predictable and measurable
• The department scales without chaos or increased owner involvement
• No regulatory gaps. No margin drift. No operational instability.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and manage asbestos technicians
• Oversee project planning from intake through closeout
• Conduct job hazard analysis and review asbestos surveys
• Ensure containment, negative air systems, and recon protocols meet regulatory standards
• Maintain strict documentation and compliance systems
• Monitor revenue, labor efficiency, gross margin, and net profit
• Provide weekly KPI and forecasting reports to ownership
• Implement SOP improvements that strengthen scalability and risk control
• Coordinate with Remodel and Restoration leadership to support rebuild transitions
• Plan hiring and equipment scaling in alignment with growth targets

Required Qualifications

• Current Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor Certification (40-hour) GS-29 (or ability to meet regulatory requirements immediately)
• 3–5+ years leading asbestos abatement projects or environmental services teams
• Deep working knowledge of EPA NESHAP, OSHA 1926.1101, NMED, and local regulatory frameworks
• Experience managing field crews and enforcing safety compliance
• Demonstrated financial awareness (margin, labor control, cost management)
• Clean driving record and ability to pass fit/medical screening

Who This Is NOT For

This role is not for you if:

• You are strong technically but avoid financial accountability
• You resist structured reporting or KPI visibility
• You rely on ownership for daily direction
• You see compliance as paperwork instead of risk management
• You prefer job-level supervision over department-level leadership

Compensation & Benefits

This is a full-time, long-term leadership role. Compensation is based on experience, demonstrated flooring expertise, and field leadership capability.

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off
• Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
• Company phone & tablet
• Paid certifications and professional development
• This role is designed for long-term leadership and division growth.

Next Steps

Apply with your resume and documented leadership experience in asbestos abatement. Qualified candidates will complete a structured interview process including compliance, operational, and financial scenario discussions.

We move fast — and we hire carefully. If you are ready to lead a compliant, profitable, growth-driven abatement department, we want to meet you.
