Emergency Services Project Manager

EMERGENCY SERVICES PROJECT MANAGER

Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake | Portsmouth, VA

Hampton Roads - Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach

Full-Time | In-Person


----------------------------------------

Are you the person who owns the job - or the one who hands it back?

We are not looking for someone to fill a seat. We are looking for someone who takes a water-damaged, mold-affected, or boarded-up property and does not stop until it is documented, dried, cleared, billed, and the customer is taken care of - without being chased, prompted, or managed every step of the way.

If that describes how you already operate - or how you have always wanted to work but have not had the structure to do it - keep reading.

----------------------------------------

WHO WE ARE

----------------------------------------

Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake is a growing emergency services and restoration company serving Hampton Roads. We are part of the Neighborly family of home services brands - national systems, local accountability. We do not offer a job. We offer a career with structure, clear expectations, and room to advance for the right person.

----------------------------------------

YOUR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

----------------------------------------

These are the outcomes you will be measured against. Achieve these and you keep the job - and you advance.

- Scope packages submitted within 24 hours of every inspection - complete enough that the estimator can write a full estimate without calling you

- All project communication owned directly: customer, adjuster, property manager, and subcontractors - you do not delegate relationships

- Water mitigation and mold jobs billed timely after equipment pull and clearance receipt; board-up billed same day as job completion

- Documented adjuster contact at every drying threshold and authorization trigger - minimum every 48 hours on active insurance jobs

- Customer educated and communicated with throughout the entire mitigation process

- GP targets hit by job type; your number is known before the production meeting, not at it

- Every water job with mold indicators flagged, documented, and a mold scope conversation initiated - you do not wait to be told

--------------------------------------

DAY TO DAY

----------------------------------------

- Inspect water, mold, and board-up losses; build complete scope packages within 24 hours

- Own all adjuster communication: authorizations, drying updates, and supplement submissions

- Call every customer within 4 hours of inspection with findings, next steps, and your direct contact

- Run mold jobs from protocol kick-off through IH coordination and clearance

- Release board-up billing packets on-site the same day the job is complete

- Brief and develop the lead tech - written feedback on documentation quality weekly

- All job management systems and production dashboards current before end of every shift

----------------------------------------

WHO THRIVES HERE

----------------------------------------

We are open to three types of candidates:

PROVEN - You have managed water, mold, and board-up losses, owned adjuster relationships, and have a track record you can point to.

EMERGING - You have field restoration experience and early success but have not yet carried a full PM load. You learn fast and want the structure to level up.

POTENTIAL - You may not have the title yet, but you have the attitude, work ethic, and instincts. You are the lead tech ready for the next step.

Non-negotiable at every level: ownership mentality, detail discipline, GP awareness, communication ownership, composure under pressure, and openness to direct accountability.

----------------------------------------

- 2+ years in water mitigation, mold remediation, or restoration project management (customer-facing and documentation responsibility, not just field labor) preferred

- Job management software, moisture documentation tools, Microsoft 365; Xactimate at review level

- Valid Virginia driver's license, clean record; ability to pass background and drug screening
