We're looking for one leader to own our mitigation department: water, fire, smoke, and mold. You'll run

the crews, set the standards, and build the team. This is not a role for someone who just wants to

dispatch jobs.

What you'll own

Daily scheduling and leadership of mitigation technicians and crew leads

Job quality from first call to final invoice: drying plans, moisture logs, photos, and equipment records

that hold up to adjuster and TPA review

Accurate Xactimate/Symbility scopes and estimates for mitigation

Reviewing every job file before it is invoiced

Hiring, training, and coaching techs, and holding them accountable

Working with adjusters, TPAs, property managers, and homeowners on site

Equipment, vehicle, and safety standards

Rotating on-call coverage for emergencies

Requirements

What you bring

5+ years in water and fire mitigation, including at least 2 years leading crews

IICRC WRT and ASD required; AMRT and FSRT strongly preferred

Strong Xactimate skills for mitigation

Experience with job documentation tools (Mitigate, Companycam, or similar)

A track record of clean files and low invoice reductions

Valid driver's license and a clean driving record

Why join us

You'll run the department, not just a crew

A bonus tied to results you control: collected gross profit and fewer invoice reductions

Room to grow with one of North Jersey's established restoration companies

Health benefits, paid time off, holiday pay for the five major holidays, and a 401(k) with a 4% match

after 12 months

If you're a crew chief or mitigation PM ready to run your own department, let's talk. We'll build your

compensation together around your experience and the targets you'll own, so your success and ours

move together.
