Senior Reconstruction Project Manager

You will own the outcome of each reconstruction project, including the customer experience, scope accuracy, estimating oversight, insurance negotiations, subcontractor performance, schedule, quality, and profitability. You will be responsible for ensuring every estimate accurately reflects field conditions and supports successful project execution. As our company continues to grow, this role will also help establish reconstruction standards, mentor team members, improve department processes, and provide leadership across the reconstruction operation.
