Responsibilities:
- Lead and grow a high-performing mitigation team for water, fire, and mold recovery.
- Oversee project timelines, budgets, and execution to ensure top-tier service and profitability.
- Create accurate estimates using industry-standard software (Xactimate, MICA, Moisture Mapper, etc.).
- Manage relationships with insurance adjusters, property managers, and homeowners.
- Ensure compliance with industry best practices while driving innovation and continuous improvement.
- Participate in leadership meetings, strategy sessions, and performance reviews.
- Support hiring, training, and performance management of mitigation technicians.
- Help develop marketing strategies and referral networks to keep the pipeline strong.
- Attend site meetings, track milestones, and communicate payment updates to stakeholders.
Requirements:
- ~5 years in insurance restoration or disaster recovery, with solid experience in estimating and managing large loss claims.
- ~ Skilled with residential, commercial, and multi-family properties.
- ~ Proficient in industry tools (Xactimate, Moisture Mapper, etc.) and insurance program portals.
- ~ Strong project management, scheduling, and budgeting skills.
- ~ Excellent communicator who thrives under pressure and leads with empathy and clarity.
- ~ A natural problem solver with a drive for quality, service, and continuous improvement.
- ~ Experience managing subcontractors and coordinating teams in dynamic environments.
About You:
- Proven experience handling property restoration claims ranging from $500k to $1M.
- Deep construction knowledge with a background in general contracting or emergency services.
- Ability to coach, develop, and motivate field teams.
- Track record of building strong relationships that lead to repeat business and referrals.
- Passion for helping people rebuild and recover—one project at a time.
