    Reports To: General Manager or Owner

    As a Restoration Project Manager (RPM), you are responsible for managing reconstruction projects from contract through close-out following property damage events such as water, fire, or mold losses. This role is primarily production-focused. Project scope and pricing are typically prepared by a centralized estimating team. Candidates with estimating experience may support estimating efforts as needed; however, field execution, subcontractor management, margin protection, and job close-out are the core responsibilities of this role. You will spend significant time in the field ensuring jobs are completed correctly, safely, on schedule, and in accordance with Paul Davis standards.

    What you'll be responsible for:

    Manage residential and commercial reconstruction projects from start to finish including budgets, timelines, and subcontractors

    Develop proficiency in project documentation, reporting, and technology tools used in restoration management

    Protect margins through disciplined job controls and change management

    Communicate clearly and proactively with customers throughout the project lifecycle

    Coordinate closely with mitigation, estimating, and office teams

    Ensure job documentation, punch lists, and close-out are completed accurately

    Pay Structure & Hours:

    Competitive base salary

    Uncapped earning potential with performance-based incentive tied to completed, profitable projects

    Full-time role with variable field schedule based on active projects

    (Compensation structure and incentive details are discussed during the interview process.)

    Qualifications:

    Required

    Integrity, honesty, and strong character

    Self-motivation, growth mindset, ownership, and responsibility

    A desire to help people in distress

    Experience managing construction or restoration projects in NYC

    Proven ability to manage subcontractors, schedules, and job sequencing

    Proficiency with technology and adaptability to new software

    Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and reliable transportation

    Preferred

    Restoration or insurance-related construction experience

    Estimating experience or familiarity with Xactimate and Cotality (a plus, not required)

    Carpentry, construction management, or trade background

    Who Thrives in This Role:

    You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks

    You are margin-aware and disciplined about scope

    You hold subcontractors accountable and follow through

    You communicate early when issues arise

    You want to grow into senior operational leadership over time

    Benefits:

    Uncapped performance-based incentive opportunities.

    Generous vehicle and cell phone allowance

    Company laptop

    Paid time off and sick leave in accordance with NYC law

    Leadership development and cross training opportunities
