Estimator / Project Manager
About The Position
We're a locally-owned, family-run restoration company serving the greater Seattle area since 2005, and we're growing across water mitigation, fire/smoke restoration, and mold remediation. We need an experienced Estimator/Project Manager who knows how to write a scope that holds up, negotiate with adjusters who push back, and keep a pipeline of jobs moving without anything falling through the cracks. If you're estimating restoration jobs right now but feeling capped — on pay, on autonomy, or on how much your accuracy actually gets recognized — this is worth a conversation.
Requirements
- 3+ years of restoration estimating or project management experience
- Proficiency in Xactimate — Level 1 certification strongly preferred
- Working knowledge of insurance restoration claims, supplements, and adjuster negotiation
- Strong organizational skills — you don't let jobs slip through the cracks
- Confident, professional communicator who isn't afraid to push back on a lowball adjuster
- Valid driver's license for site visit travel
Nice To Haves
- Xactimate Level 2 certification
- IICRC WRT, ASD, or FSRT certification
- Experience working with TPAs — Alacrity, Contractor Connection, Sedgwick, or similar
- Field restoration background — estimators who've been on the tools earn more adjuster credibility
Responsibilities
- Inspect losses and write accurate Xactimate estimates across water, fire/smoke, and mold jobs
- Own the insurance claims process from first submission through final payment
- Negotiate scope and pricing directly with adjusters — and win the arguments worth winning
- Identify and write supplements for additional damage that other estimators would miss
- Manage a pipeline of 20–40 active jobs without losing track of a single one
- Be the financial gatekeeper that protects margin on every job that comes through the door
Benefits
- $65,000–$85,000 base salary, depending on experience
- Performance bonus tied to collected revenue and margin targets
- Mileage reimbursement for site visits at the IRS standard rate
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and sick leave
- Company-paid Xactimate training and IICRC certification support
- A growth path toward Senior Estimator or Director of Operations
- Company car
- Company parties
- Competitive salary
- Free uniforms
- Opportunity for advancement
- Profit sharing
