About The Position

This is not your typical construction management role. At Rainbow Restoration, you are helping families and businesses rebuild after water, mold, fire, and storm losses. You are taking damaged properties and helping restore them back to pre-loss condition while guiding customers through some of the most stressful situations they may ever experience. We are looking for a hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving problems, leading projects, working alongside teams in the field, and taking pride in delivering high-quality work. The ideal candidate is self-driven, organized, customer-focused, and motivated to make a lasting impact within our communities and organization. The Repair Project Manager is responsible for managing residential and commercial reconstruction and repair projects following water, mold, fire, and other property losses. This role oversees projects from initial scope through final completion while ensuring timelines, budgets, quality standards, and customer expectations are successfully met. This is a highly hands-on role that combines project management, construction oversight, estimating, subcontractor coordination, customer communication, and field leadership. The ideal candidate is comfortable both leading projects and stepping into the field to support demolition, repairs, installations, punch work, and quality control efforts when needed.
