The posting

Description

Welcome to Merit Restorations. We are experts in rebuilding homes and commercial properties after fire, water, storm, and other disasters. We serve families and insurance partners with honesty, clarity, and urgency. We take full ownership of our projects and deliver with integrity, grit, and care.

As a Restoration Project Manager, you will lead restoration projects (up to $50,000) from scope to closeout. You’ll manage both the construction and client experience—coordinating with adjusters, subcontractors, and homeowners while keeping jobs on time, on budget, and to the highest standard of quality.

We’re looking for a technical expert: organized, detail-driven, a strong communicator with high empathy. Someone who thrives in high-pressure situations, solves problems quickly, and sets the pace for teams.

  • Communicate difficult or sensitive information tactfully and professionally.

Financial Oversight

  • Ensure each project achieves a minimum gross profit margin as set by company standards.
  • Handle invoicing, collections, and financial closeout of jobs.
  • Support accounting team with cost tracking, invoicing, and mortgage company coordination.

  • Develop, manage, and improve operational procedures and workflows for efficiency and accountability.
  • Oversee jobsite safety, organization, and cleanliness at all times.
  • Provide owners, clients, and teams with updated two-week lookahead schedules.
  • Conduct weekly progress meetings and issue meeting minutes.
  • Track submittals, RFIs, and change orders accurately.
  • Ensure subcontractors comply with scope, schedule, and quality expectations.

  • Ensure satisfaction at every stage; follow up after completion to maintain trust.
  • Act as an advocate for the homeowner while balancing carrier requirements.
  • Support sales and marketing efforts through strong client relationships and reputation.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
