Project Manager / Estimator - Water, Fire & Mold Mitigation

About Us

Dry Guys Restoration is an Idaho-based water, fire, and mold damage restoration contractor. When a homeowner or business owner has the worst day of their year, we're the crew that shows up, stops the damage, and walks them through the claim from first call to final invoice. We run a tight, well-documented operation - good systems, good people, and no chaos for the sake of chaos.

The Role

We're hiring a Project Manager / Estimator for our mitigation division. This is a field-and-phone role: you'll respond to emergency losses, inspect and sell the job on-site, document it thoroughly, write the estimate, and own the relationship with both the customer and the insurance carrier until the mitigation work is complete.

If you know restoration, can talk to a stressed-out homeowner and a skeptical adjuster in the same afternoon, and can back up your scope with clean documentation - this is your job.

What You'll Do

Respond to emergency service calls, including a rotating on-call schedule for after-hours and weekend losses

Perform on-site inspections and assessments of water, fire, mold, and related losses

Sell the job - explain the scope, the process, and the value to the property owner, and get the work authorized

Document the loss completely: photos, moisture mapping and readings, affected materials, sketches, and daily job notes

Write accurate mitigation estimates and scopes of work

Manage the claim from first notice of loss through mitigation completion

Communicate directly with adjusters, desk adjusters, and carrier reps - submit documentation, justify scope, and resolve pushback

Serve as the primary point of contact for the customer, setting expectations and keeping them informed throughout the project

Coordinate with crew chiefs and technicians to make sure the work in the field matches the scope on paper

Keep job files, statuses, and milestone dates current in our CRM

What You Need

Strong written and verbal communication skills - you'll be writing to adjusters and talking to customers all day

Comfort with technology: estimating software, CRM/job management systems, and mobile documentation tools

Ability to work on-call rotation and respond to emergency losses outside of normal business hours

Preferred:

IICRC certifications (WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT)

Prior estimating or project management experience in restoration

Experience working directly with insurance carriers and adjusters

Physical Requirements:
