Reports To: Owner

Position Overview
We are seeking a high-energy, dependable, and driven Emergency Service / Fire Responder to serve as the frontline face of Paul Davis Restoration. In this critical role, you will monitor and respond immediately to local fire notifications, arrive on-site to assist property owners during a time of crisis, and successfully secure the property to become our clients' trusted restoration contractor.


Once the fire department clears the structure, you will also perform hands-on emergency stabilization, including structural board-ups and roof tarping. This role requires a unique blend of empathetic sales/relationship-building skills, urgency, and construction or mitigation experience.


Key Responsibilities


1. On-Scene Response & Business Development


  • Rapid Response: Monitor active emergency dispatches and fire notifications to respond immediately, 24/7/365, to active fire scenes within our territory.
  • Client Advocacy & Sales: Compassionately engage with affected property owners, tenants, and first responders on-scene. Present Paul Davis Restoration’s capabilities to position our franchise as the preferred restoration contractor.
  • Contract Execution: Guide stressed property owners through the initial paperwork, securing signed work authorizations and work orders on-site.
  • Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong, professional relationships with local fire departments, police, and emergency management personnel.
2. Emergency Property Stabilization & Mitigation


  • Structural Board-Up: Once first responders deem the structure safe to enter/work on, secure the property's perimeter by boarding up broken windows, doors, and damaged walls to prevent trespassing, theft, or further weather damage.
  • Roof Tarping: Safely access and tarp damaged roofs to prevent subsequent water intrusion.
  • Site Safety: Implement initial safety controls on-site (e.g., hazard taping, temporary fencing, basic structural stabilization checks) in accordance with OSHA guidelines.
  • Documentation: Utilize industry-specific mobile applications to document property conditions with high-quality photos and detailed notes for the estimating team.
Skills and Knowledge: 
  • Strong verbal and written communications 
  • Strategic thinking and planning
  • Project management and multitasking capability 
  • Strong organizational skills 
  • Exemplary computer skills, i.e. Internet & Microsoft Office
Personal Characteristics: 
  • Professional demeanor 
  • Personable, presentable, articulate 
  • Open, cooperative, enthusiastic 
  • Self-directed with exceptional initiative
Qualifications:
  • This is not an office job or a standard route sales role. This is a 24/7 emergency response position. You will actively respond to live fire dispatches, secure the contract with property owners in crisis, and then immediately throw up a ladder to board up the property and tarp the roof yourself. If you hate heights, ladders, or getting your hands dirty, please do not apply.
  • Franchise, restoration, construction/home improvement, and/or insurance industry experience a plus
  • Able to perform basic carpentry skills to secure a home
 
Paul Davis is an equal opportunity employer.
