- Ensure projects are properly scoped, documented, monitored, and completed according to company and IICRC standards
- Inspect work at key stages and require corrections before equipment removal, project completion, or billing
- Keep customers, adjusters, property managers, referral partners, and internal teams informed about timelines, changes, and concerns

- Proven record managing employees, schedules, and multiple active projects
- Strong understanding of mitigation scopes, drying documentation, job costs, and project profitability
- Strong leadership, organization, accountability, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
- Clear, professional communication with customers, adjusters, property managers, vendors, and internal teams
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven emergency-services environment
- IICRC certifications, restoration-management software experience, and estimating experience are strongly preferred
What We Offer
- Competitive salary with performance-based bonus
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k), paid time off, and paid holidays
- Company vehicle, free uniforms, and ongoing training
- Room to grow within a nationally recognized restoration brand
