Reconstruction Project Manager
About The Position
At Paul Davis, we restore people’s homes, businesses, and peace of mind after some of the most difficult events in their lives. We’re looking for an experienced Senior Reconstruction Project Manager to lead reconstruction projects from initial inspection through final completion. This is not a position for someone who simply coordinates subcontractors or manages a schedule from behind a desk. We’re looking for someone who understands construction, restoration, insurance, customer service, and project profitability at a high level. Someone who can confidently inspect a complex loss, build trust with customers, develop and execute a clear project plan, negotiate effectively with carriers and subcontractors, and ensure each job is completed to Paul Davis standards while achieving target margins. You will own the outcome of each reconstruction project, including the customer experience, scope accuracy, estimating oversight, insurance negotiations, subcontractor performance, schedule, quality, and profitability. You will be responsible for ensuring every estimate accurately reflects field conditions and supports successful project execution. As our company continues to grow, this role will also help establish reconstruction standards, mentor team members, improve department processes, and provide leadership across the reconstruction operation.
