Position Overview

We are hiring a highly experienced Reconstruction Contractor to take full ownership of interior reconstruction projects following water/fire/smoke/mold damage mitigation.

This is a fast-paced, commission-based role for a self-sufficient professional who does not require hands-on training and can independently manage projects from estimate to final payment.

You will be responsible for client communication, estimating, production management, team oversight, material procurement, and financial performance of each job.

If you need step-by-step direction, this is not the right fit.

Core Responsibilities

1. Estimating & Job Acquisition

• Contact clients immediately after mitigation completion
• Schedule and perform on-site inspections
• Create accurate, detailed reconstruction estimates
• Clearly explain scope of work to homeowners

• Schedule trades efficiently to minimize downtime
• Coordinate all phases of interior reconstruction including:
  • Drywall repair and installation
  • Trim and finish carpentry
  • Cabinet installation
  • Flooring
  • Tiling
  • Painting
  • Minor framing and interior structural repairs
• Maintain clean, professional job sites

• Handle change orders professionally and in writing

3. Material Procurement & Logistics

• Purchase and coordinate delivery of materials
• Ensure materials arrive on time and within budget
• Monitor job costs to protect profitability

You are responsible for protecting the margin on your jobs.

 

4. Client Communication

• Maintain proactive communication throughout the project
• Return phone calls promptly
• Answer client questions clearly and confidently
• Set realistic expectations and meet them
• Address concerns before they become complaints

This role requires someone who is accessible and responsive. 

5. Financial Accountability

• Track project profitability
• Control labor and material costs
• Collect final payment upon project completion
• Close out all documentation in a timely manner

Compensation is commission-based and tied to net profit. If you manage well, you earn well.

6. Close-Out & Brand Representation

• Conduct final walkthrough with client
• Ensure client satisfaction before leaving the project
• Capture high-quality before and after photos
• Request and secure online reviews
• Represent the company professionally at all times

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years experience in interior residential construction
• Proven job site management experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects at once
• Experience recruiting and managing crews or subcontractors
• Strong estimating skills
• Fluent in English
• Clean driving record
• Reliable personal vehicle
• Ability to work independently without daily oversight
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

Expectations

This is not a training position.
This is not an entry-level role.
This is not hourly employment.

We expect:

• Professional communication
• Consistent responsiveness

• Ability to handle pressure

The South Jersey territory is busy and growing. We need someone who can keep up.
