    OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP

    Oversee all restoration projects - water mitigation, fire damage, mold remediation, contents pack out, and reconstruction coordination

    Optimize workflows, scheduling, and service processes; monitor KPIs to improve efficiency and job throughput

    Manage reconstruction subcontractors, vendors, fleet, facility needs, and equipment readiness

    Ensure accurate documentation, reporting, and recordkeeping across all service lines

    Lead storm-event mobilization, including deploying teams or establishing a dedicated response plan

    Ensure jobs are completed on time, on budget, and in compliance with IICRC, regulatory, insurance, and safety standards

    Maintain a safe, compliant work environment for all staff on every job site

    Review job documentation, service delivery, and financial compliance regularly, and implement corrective actions when gaps arise

    FINANCIAL & REPORTING

    Develop budgets and forecasts with ownership and present regular performance reports

    Track job utilization, cost per service, and revenue per employee; approve expenditures and manage cost controls

    Oversee billing accuracy and collections, ensuring financial compliance on every job

    Keep homeowners and property owners informed from first response through project close

    Follow TPA pricing guidelines and fee schedules while protecting job profitability

    Communicate scope changes, supplements, and project status promptly and professionally to all parties

    TEAM LEADERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT

    Lead the full restoration team — field crews, project managers, and administrative staff — with clear roles, expectations, and accountability

    Direct project managers: assign jobs, review estimates and progress, and hold PMs accountable for schedule, budget, documentation, and customer communication

    Oversee administrative staff — job coordinators, estimating support, billing, and file administration — so job files move smoothly from intake through collections

    Recruit, hire, train, and coach across all roles; manage staffing and workload to meet demand

    Provide ongoing coaching, performance evaluations, and accountability to maintain a high-performing team

    Build a positive, results-driven culture, resolve personnel issues promptly, and keep engagement and retention strong
