You will work closely with homeowners, project managers, field personnel, and insurance representatives to ensure estimates accurately reflect the work required and provide a solid foundation for successful project completion.

We are looking for someone who understands that an estimate is more than a collection of line items. It is the blueprint for restoring someone's property and getting their life back to normal.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with insurance restoration estimating and claims processes.
• Knowledge of water mitigation, fire restoration, reconstruction, and related restoration practices.
• Experience preparing supplements and discussing or negotiating estimates with insurance representatives.
• Familiarity with both residential and commercial property restoration.

Who We Are Looking For

The right candidate is a self-motivated professional who takes ownership of their work and understands the importance of getting the details right.

You should be comfortable working independently, managing multiple assignments, communicating with customers, and collaborating with a team that takes pride in delivering quality results.

We value professionals who:

• Take pride in producing accurate, thorough estimates.
• Understand construction and restoration beyond simply entering Xactimate line items.
• Can identify missing scope items and recognize what it takes to properly restore a property.
• Communicate confidently and professionally with homeowners and insurance representatives.
• Take initiative, solve problems, and follow through on commitments.
• Believe in doing the right thing for the customer.
