The Opportunity

Moldman St. Louis is seeking a hands-on Operations Manager to lead daily field operations, coordinate residential restoration projects, support field crews, and provide an excellent customer experience.

This is not a desk-only management position. You will spend meaningful time in the field, especially during your initial training, learning how projects are estimated, scheduled, completed, documented, and closed out.

You will work directly with the owner and gradually take ownership of day-to-day operations. The long-term goal is for this person to become a trusted operational leader who can keep the business running smoothly while the owner focuses on growth, estimating, and strategic priorities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a construction, restoration, home-services, or field-operations professional who wants greater responsibility, direct influence, and long-term leadership potential within a growing local company.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Oversee daily field operations for residential mold remediation and specialty restoration projects.
• Coordinate multiple active projects, crews, schedules, materials, equipment, and job-site priorities.
• Meet with field teams each morning to review project plans, assignments, timelines, and potential obstacles.
• Visit active job sites to monitor progress, verify quality, support crews, and resolve operational issues.
• Ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within expected budgets.
• Act as a reliable and professional point of contact for homeowners throughout the project.
• Address customer questions, concerns, and changes calmly and effectively.
• Help crews navigate unexpected site conditions and determine practical solutions.
• Coordinate dumpsters, equipment, materials, subcontractors, and other job-site requirements.
• Review project documentation, photographs, schedules, notes, and completion details.
• Learn the full customer and project lifecycle, from the initial lead and estimate through project completion and payment.
• Support estimating and job-scoping activities as experience develops.
• Monitor project efficiency, labor use, job costs, and opportunities to improve profitability.
• Maintain strong communication between the owner, estimator, office support, field crews, customers, and subcontractors.
• Help create systems and processes that reduce the company’s dependence on the owner.
• Take on broader operational leadership responsibilities as knowledge of the business grows.

What Success Looks Like

During the first several months, you will learn Moldman St. Louis’s field processes, customer standards, estimating approach, systems, and technical procedures.

As you develop, success will include:

• Crews beginning each day with clear priorities and job information.
• Projects moving forward without unnecessary delays.
• Job-site problems being identified and resolved quickly.
• Customers receiving timely, professional communication.
• Project documentation being complete and accurate.
• Quality and safety standards being followed consistently.
• The owner spending less time managing routine operational issues.
• Stronger scheduling, coordination, efficiency, and accountability across the company.
• Growing into a leader who can oversee daily operations with increasing independence.

Required Qualifications and Experience

• Proven experience coordinating multiple projects, job sites, crews, routes, or service appointments simultaneously.
• Experience leading field employees, technicians, construction crews, or subcontractors.
• Strong customer-service and communication skills.
• Ability to communicate professionally with homeowners during stressful or disruptive situations.
• Strong organization, prioritization, and follow-through.
• Practical problem-solving skills and the ability to make sound decisions in the field.
• Comfortable working in residential homes, basements, attics, crawl spaces, and active construction or restoration environments.
• Willingness to spend substantial time in the field during training and as operational needs require.
• Willingness and ability to drive throughout the regional service area.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Comfortable working in a small, owner-led business where responsibilities may be broad.
• Self-starter mentality with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Ability to use computers, mobile applications, scheduling tools, digital photos, and project-management systems.

Preferred Qualifications and Experience

• 3 or more years of experience in:
• Residential construction
• Restoration
• Home services
• Specialty contracting
• Field-service operations
• Construction project management
• Knowledge of residential building systems, materials, and construction practices.
• Experience coordinating materials, equipment, dumpsters, subcontractors, or job-site logistics.
• Experience reviewing estimates, job costs, labor use, margins, or project profitability.
• Experience managing customer complaints or service escalations.
• Experience training, coaching, or developing field employees.
• Experience working in a small or growing business.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, construction management, operations, or a related field.
