Reports To: Owner

Territory: Indianapolis, IN and surrounding area

Position OverviewWe are seeking a high-energy, dependable, and driven Emergency Service / Fire Responder to serve as the frontline face of Paul Davis Restoration. In this critical role, you will monitor and respond immediately to local fire notifications, arrive on-site to assist property owners during a time of crisis, and successfully secure the property to become our clients' trusted restoration contractor.

Once the fire department clears the structure, you will also perform hands-on emergency stabilization, including structural board-ups and roof tarping. This role requires a unique blend of empathetic sales/relationship-building skills, urgency, and construction or mitigation experience.

Key Responsibilities

1. On-Scene Response & Business Development

Rapid Response: Monitor active emergency dispatches and fire notifications to respond immediately, 24/7/365, to active fire scenes within our territory.
Client Advocacy & Sales: Compassionately engage with affected property owners, tenants, and first responders on-scene. Present Paul Davis Restoration’s capabilities to position our franchise as the preferred restoration contractor.
Contract Execution: Guide stressed property owners through the initial paperwork, securing signed work authorizations and work orders on-site.
Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong, professional relationships with local fire departments, police, and emergency management personnel.

2. Emergency Property Stabilization & Mitigation

Structural Board-Up: Once first responders deem the structure safe to enter/work on, secure the property's perimeter by boarding up broken windows, doors, and damaged walls to prevent trespassing, theft, or further weather damage.
Roof Tarping: Safely access and tarp damaged roofs to prevent subsequent water intrusion.
Site Safety: Implement initial safety controls on-site (e.g., hazard taping, temporary fencing, basic structural stabilization checks) in accordance with OSHA guidelines.
Documentation: Utilize industry-specific mobile applications to document property conditions with high-quality photos and detailed notes for the estimating team.

Skills and Knowledge:

Strong verbal and written communications
Strategic thinking and planning
Project management and multitasking capability
Strong organizational skills
Exemplary computer skills, i.e. Internet & Microsoft Office

Personal Characteristics:

Professional demeanor
Personable, presentable, articulate
Open, cooperative, enthusiastic
Self-directed with exceptional initiative

Qualifications:

This is not an office job or a standard route sales role. This is a 24/7 emergency response position. You will actively respond to live fire dispatches, secure the contract with property owners in crisis, and then immediately throw up a ladder to board up the property and tarp the roof yourself. If you hate heights, ladders, or getting your hands dirty, please do not apply.
Franchise, restoration, construction/home improvement, and/or insurance industry experience a plus
Able to perform basic carpentry skills to secure a home
