Lead the whole branch, not just a piece of it.
Most "branch manager" jobs are middle management with a fancier title. This one isn't. You'll lead the full operation of an established disaster restoration branch — mitigation and reconstruction, roughly 55/45 — with real authority over hiring, scheduling, estimating standards, and how we show up for customers on the worst day of their lives.
We're looking for a proven operator: someone who can run emergency response and a construction backlog at the same time, build a team that stays, and keep our reputation with carriers, agents, and customers exactly where it belongs.
What you'll actually do
- Lead day-to-day operations across both divisions — mitigation and reconstruction — with full accountability for how the branch performs
- Lead a team of 40–50: mitigation techs, PMs, estimators, and office staff — and build the managers underneath you
- Keep our 24/7 emergency response sharp and our mitigation files closed in 30 days
- Run a reconstruction backlog with real WIP discipline — no jobs dying at 90% complete
- Own the relationships that feed the branch: adjusters, agents, plumbers, property managers, TPA programs
- Set the standard on safety, documentation, and estimating integrity — we win by doing it right, not by padding scopes
You're probably a fit if
- You've spent 5+ years in restoration or insurance repair and at least 3 running a branch, division, or team of your own
- You know Xactimate, you know what a TPA scorecard is, and you've fought (politely) with a carrier over a supplement
- You can read a WIP report and immediately know which three jobs are lying to you
- You've hired, trained, and kept technicians in a labor market that's trying to steal them
- You're comfortable being the person the phone finds at 2 a.m. when a CAT event hits
If you don't have the industry experience, tell us why you would excel at this position. We are always looking for great team members.
