Position Summary
 



The Restoration Manager is the operational backbone of our field operations. This role bridges the gap between the owner and the field crew — overseeing job execution, documentation, crew coordination, and customer communication from first contact through project close-out. The ideal candidate is a natural leader who is comfortable in the field, fluent in IICRC standards, and capable of producing documentation that holds up under insurance adjuster scrutiny. 



 

Key Responsibilities
 



Field Operations
 


  • Manage active water, mold, and fire remediation jobs from mobilization through final walkthrough 
  • Ensure all jobs are set up, documented, and executed in accordance with IICRC S500 and S520 standards 
  • Oversee equipment placement, containment setup, negative air pressure verification, and drying validation 
  • Conduct daily psychrometric readings and adjust drying strategy as conditions change 
  • Supervise field technicians, subcontractors, and specialty trades on active job sites 

 

Documentation & Estimating
 


  • Produce Xactimate estimates that are defensible, detailed, and line-item accurate 
  • Maintain complete job files: moisture logs, photo documentation, drying logs, equipment logs, and certificates of completion 
  • Prepare scopes of loss for water, mold, and fire claims, including mitigation, demo, and structural phases 
  • Respond to adjuster requests for documentation supplements and line-item justifications 

 

Customer & Adjuster Relations
 


  • Serve as the primary point of contact for homeowners throughout the project lifecycle 
  • Communicate job progress, next steps, and expectations clearly and professionally 
  • Coordinate adjuster site visits and represent Restoration 1 in scope-of-loss discussions 
  • Manage customer expectations around timelines, insurance processes, and out-of-pocket costs 

 

Team & Business Operations
 


  • Assist in recruiting, training, and mentoring field technicians 
  • Ensure crews follow TDLR and OSHA safety standards, including proper PPE and containment protocols 
  • Support the owner with job costing, subcontractor coordination, and collections follow-up 
  • Flag job site issues, change orders, or scope discrepancies to ownership in real time 

 

Qualifications
 



Required
 


  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in water mitigation, mold remediation, or fire restoration 
  • Working knowledge of IICRC S500 (water), S520 (mold), and industry drying standards 
  • Proficiency with Xactimate or demonstrated ability to produce insurance-grade estimates 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — with both homeowners and adjusters 
  • Valid Texas driver's license and reliable transportation 
  • Ability to work on-call and respond to emergency calls as needed 

 

Preferred
 


  • IICRC WRT (Water Restoration Technician) and/or AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) certification 
  • Experience working within a franchise restoration system (Restoration 1, ServPro, Paul Davis, etc.) 
  • TDLR Mold Assessment or Mold Remediation license (or willingness to obtain) 
  • Familiarity with moisture metering equipment, air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, and drying chambers 
  • Experience coordinating with TPAs (Third Party Administrators) or insurance carriers
