Own the successful execution of all emergency mitigation services—water, fire, mold, and storm damage—by leading the field team, coordinating response, and setting the standard for technical excellence, documentation, and customer communication. Take charge on-site, manage technician performance, and ensure jobs start strong and finish right.

Respond to new emergency losses quickly and lead on-site execution
Handle inspections, demo, moisture mapping, extraction, equipment setup
Maintain field documentation (DASH, Xactimate, Docusketch)
Coordinate with the team to ensure jobs run on time and under control
Lead and train mitigation techs, delegate tasks, and set quality standards
Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours emergency response
Assist in post-mitigation cleaning, contents, or estimating as needed
