    We’re looking for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-moving restoration environment and wants to own the performance of an entire division.

    Why this role matters You will be the operational backbone of our Production Division — directly responsible for customer satisfaction, team performance, revenue growth, profitability, and the long-term development of our people. This is not a desk-and-email job. You’ll be in the field, on job sites, coaching your team, solving real problems, and partnering closely with ownership to shape how the business grows.

    What you’ll actually do every week

    Lead, coach, and develop a team of restoration technicians and project managers — turning good performers into great ones

    Set and maintain high standards for quality, safety, documentation, and customer experience

    Create and enforce practical systems for equipment care, vehicle maintenance, consumable inventory, and job-site readiness

    Identify and fix broken or inefficient processes before they cost us time and money

    Keep open, proactive communication flowing between the field team, office, vendors, adjusters, and ownership

    Review job performance metrics with the General Manager and Owner — then turn insights into action

    Stay current on industry best practices, regulations, and certifications — and help the team level up

    You’ll be successful here if you

    Have already successfully managed a field/service/production team (ideally 8+ people)

    Genuinely enjoy developing people and seeing them grow in skill and confidence

    Are comfortable being on job sites or in crawl spaces — you lead from the front when needed

    Have strong instincts for what “good” looks like in restoration work (cleaning, mitigation, reconstruction)

    Can balance getting today’s jobs done perfectly while building systems that make tomorrow easier

    Communicate clearly and directly

    Qualifications we value most

    5+ years of business operations experience (restoration strongly preferred)

    3+ years of direct people management experience

    Industry certifications (IICRC, RIA, etc.) are a big plus

    High School Diploma or GED required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred

    Physical & practical requirements

    Able to regularly lift 50 lbs, occasionally up to 100 lbs with help

    Comfortable working at heights, in confined spaces, and in all weather conditions

    Valid driver’s license and clean driving record

    Ability to pass a background check

    What we offer

    Starting pay $65,000+ (depending on experience and proven results)

    Health Insurance Partial Reimbursements if you qualify for open enrollment

    Paid industry training & certification reimbursement

    Tools, uniforms, and all necessary PPE provided

    A team-oriented, no-nonsense culture that respects hard work

    This is a high-accountability, high-reward position for someone who wants real ownership of a division and the chance to make a visible impact on the business.
