Job description

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.


QUALIFICATIONS

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

- Direct adjuster relationship management experience: authorizations, supplements, drying approvals

- IICRC WRT preferred at hire; ASD and AMRT 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


WHAT WE OFFER

- Base salary commensurate with experience; range discussed at interview

- Performance bonus tied to GP targets, billing cycle time, and documentation quality

- Health, vision, and dental insurance

- Paid time off, paid holidays, and 401(k)

- Company vehicle or vehicle allowance

- Paid IICRC certification path

- Structured 30/60/90-day onboarding plan - clear expectations from Day 1

- Advancement path as the company grows

- Monday-Friday; after-hours emergency required
