Emergency Services Project Manager
EMERGENCY SERVICES PROJECT MANAGER
Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake | Portsmouth, VA
Hampton Roads — Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach
Full-Time | In-Person
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Are you the person who owns the job — or the one who hands it back?
We are not looking for someone to fill a seat. We are looking for someone who takes a water-damaged, mold-affected, or boarded-up property and does not stop until it is documented, dried, cleared, billed, and the customer is taken care of — without being chased, prompted, or managed every step of the way.
If that describes how you already operate — or how you have always wanted to work but have not had the structure to do it — keep reading.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO WE ARE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake is a growing emergency services and restoration company serving Hampton Roads. We are part of the Neighborly family of home services brands — national systems, local accountability. We do not offer a job. We offer a career with structure, clear expectations, and room to advance for the right person.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
YOUR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
These are the outcomes you will be measured against. Achieve these and you keep the job — and you advance.
- Scope packages submitted within 24 hours of every inspection — complete enough that the estimator can write a full estimate without calling you
- All project communication owned directly: customer, adjuster, property manager, and subcontractors — you do not delegate relationships
- Water mitigation and mold jobs billed timely after equipment pull and clearance receipt; board-up billed same day as job completion
- Documented adjuster contact at every drying threshold and authorization trigger — minimum every 48 hours on active insurance jobs
- Customer educated and communicated with throughout the entire mitigation process
- GP targets hit by job type; your number is known before the production meeting, not at it
- Every water job with mold indicators flagged, documented, and a mold scope conversation initiated — you do not wait to be told
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DAY TO DAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Inspect water, mold, and board-up losses; build complete scope packages within 24 hours
- Own all adjuster communication: authorizations, drying updates, and supplement submissions
- Call every customer within 4 hours of inspection with findings, next steps, and your direct contact
- Run mold jobs from protocol kick-off through IH coordination and clearance
- Release board-up billing packets on-site the same day the job is complete
- Brief and develop the lead tech — written feedback on documentation quality weekly
- All job management systems and production dashboards current before end of every shift
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO THRIVES HERE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We are open to three types of candidates:
PROVEN — You have managed water, mold, and board-up losses, owned adjuster relationships, and have a track record you can point to.
EMERGING — You have field restoration experience and early success but have not yet carried a full PM load. You learn fast and want the structure to level up.
POTENTIAL — You may not have the title yet, but you have the attitude, work ethic, and instincts. You are the lead tech ready for the next step.
Non-negotiable at every level: ownership mentality, detail discipline, GP awareness, communication ownership, composure under pressure, and openness to direct accountability.
