Restoration Project Manager

Kitchener, ON
Job ID 10552

Company Description

Our client is a well-established leader in the property restoration sector, trusted by homeowners, businesses, and insurers for rapid and reliable solutions when disaster strikes. They specialize in returning damaged properties to pre-loss condition after events such as water intrusion, fire, smoke, mould, and other unexpected disruptions.

Their team approach, strong reputation, and commitment to quality have positioned them as a go-to provider across the region. As they continue to grow, they are now seeking a capable and strategic Restoration Project Manager to join their team.

Compensation

  • $70,000 to $95,000 base salary*
  • Performance-based bonus incentives tied to results and file execution
  • Monthly vehicle allowance of $650 to $750
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Relocation support available for the right candidate

 

*The stated compensation range reflects the full scope of the role as currently structured and is provided in accordance with pay transparency requirements. Offers are determined based on relevant experience, demonstrated skills, internal equity, and alignment with the role’s requirements. The upper end of the range is typically reserved for candidates who fully meet all requirements and qualifications outlined in this posting and the official job description.

The Opportunity

This is not a “sit behind a desk and manage timelines” type of project role.

This is ownership.

You will take full control of restoration files from the moment a loss occurs through to final closeout. You will be the central point of coordination, decision-making, and communication, ensuring projects move forward efficiently while maintaining strong relationships with homeowners, adjusters, and trades.

If you thrive in environments where every day is different, where urgency meets accountability, and where your ability to lead directly impacts outcomes, this role offers a level of responsibility and visibility that is difficult to replicate.

Position Description

  • Own restoration projects end-to-end, from initial loss through completion
  • Assess damage across water, fire, smoke, mold, and related incidents
  • Develop scopes of work and coordinate execution across internal teams and subcontractors
  • Manage timelines, resources, and shifting priorities across multiple active files
  • Maintain accurate, detailed documentation including notes, photos, and updates
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, adjusters, and stakeholders
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to required standards
  • Participate in after-hours or emergency response as required

Experience

  • Direct experience in insurance restoration is essential
  • Proven ability to independently manage multiple active files simultaneously
  • Hands-on experience with emergency losses such as water, fire, smoke, and mold
  • Experience working with adjusters, homeowners, and subcontractors
  • Strong understanding of full restoration lifecycle from intake to closeout

Qualifications

  • Proficiency with Xactimate, XactAnalysis, Encircle, or similar platforms is strongly preferred
  • IICRC certifications such as WRT and FSRT are considered strong assets
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
  • Highly organized with strong documentation discipline
  • Calm, composed, and effective in high-pressure environments
  • Strong communication skills with a customer-first mindset
  • Decisive, accountable, and able to manage competing priorities
