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
Required:
- Minimum 2 years of experience in the restoration industry (water, fire, mold, or related mitigation work)
- Valid driver's license and a good driving record — this role drives a company vehicle daily and is subject to an MVR check
- Working knowledge of mitigation processes, drying science, and industry documentation standards
- 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)
- Xactimate proficiency
- Prior estimating or project management experience in restoration
- Experience working directly with insurance carriers and adjusters
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., navigate crawl spaces, attics, and stairs, and work in environments requiring PPE and respiratory protection
What We Offer
- $60,000 base salary plus uncapped commission — most PMs in this role should earn $80,000 – $100,000 in their first year
- Commission paid on every mitigation job you sell and see through to collection — your book is your income
- Company vehicle / vehicle allowance
- Company phone and laptop/tablet
