Role Overview

As the General Manager, you are the driving force behind the branch – setting direction, maintaining accountability, and ensuring flawless execution across operations, customer service, financial performance, and culture. You own the path to achieving the AOP and create an environment where teams are aligned, supported, and held to a high standard. You partner closely with regional and corporate leaders to implement strategy, strengthen processes, and build a high-performing operation that consistently delivers for customers.

You collaborate with senior leadership, influence strategy, and position your division for sustainable, profitable growth. You bring the ownership and accountability required to lead a 24/7 restoration operation, including occasionally supporting teams, clients, or time-sensitive projects outside typical business hours. By balancing the immediate needs of daily operations with long-term planning, you maintain strong customer relationships and consistent performance.

You lead the branch with clarity, urgency, and discipline by overseeing day-to-day operations across mitigation, reconstruction, pack-outs, customer service, and overall project execution. You ensure your teams deliver exceptional quality, maintain compliance, and operate with efficiency, accuracy, and urgency.

You establish strong communication rhythms, including weekly 1:1s with Production Directors and Administrative staff, to review performance, remove roadblocks, and reinforce expectations. You build a culture where accountability is standard, customer service is non-negotiable, and your people are supported, coached, and inspired to grow. You make an impact by:
