    Position Overview

    We are hiring a highly experienced Reconstruction Contractor to take full ownership of interior reconstruction projects following water/fire/smoke/mold damage mitigation.

    This is a fast-paced, commission-based role for a self-sufficient professional who does not require hands-on training and can independently manage projects from estimate to final payment.

    You will be responsible for client communication, estimating, production management, team oversight, material procurement, and financial performance of each job.

    If you need step-by-step direction, this is not the right fit.

    Contact clients immediately after mitigation completion

    Schedule and perform on-site inspections

    Create accurate, detailed reconstruction estimates

    Clearly explain scope of work to homeowners

    Submit all required documentation to the main office promptly

    You must be confident discussing pricing, scope changes, and timelines with homeowners.

    1. Project Management & Execution

    Ensure work meets company standards and building codes

    Handle change orders professionally and in writing

    1. Material Procurement & Logistics

    Create material lists for each project

    Purchase and coordinate delivery of materials

    Ensure materials arrive on time and within budget

    Monitor job costs to protect profitability

    You are responsible for protecting the margin on your jobs.

    1. Client Communication

    Maintain proactive communication throughout the project

    Return phone calls promptly

    Answer client questions clearly and confidently

    Set realistic expectations and meet them

    Address concerns before they become complaints

    This role requires someone who is accessible and responsive.

    1. Financial Accountability

    Track project profitability

    Control labor and material costs

    Collect final payment upon project completion

    Close out all documentation in a timely manner

    Compensation is commission-based and tied to net profit. If you manage well, you earn well.

    1. Close-Out & Brand Representation

    Conduct final walkthrough with client

    Ensure client satisfaction before leaving the project

    Capture high-quality before and after photos

    Request and secure online reviews

    Represent the company professionally at all times

    Required Qualifications

    Minimum 5 years experience in interior residential construction

    Fluent in English

    Clean driving record

    Reliable personal vehicle

    Ability to work independently without daily oversight
