Senior Construction Project ManagerInsurance Restoration | Reconstruction | Commercial | Residential

Compensation: $90,000–$140,000 (based on experience and performance)

Location: Birmingham, Alabama

We Are Not Looking for an Average Project Manager.

Cahaba Restoration is one of Alabama's fastest-growing restoration and reconstruction companies. We are looking for an experienced leader capable of managing multiple complex insurance and retail construction projects while delivering an exceptional customer experience, maintaining profitability, and holding everyone on the project accountable.

This position is for someone who already knows how to run projects—not someone looking to learn the industry.

If you've successfully managed restoration projects, built strong subcontractor relationships, understand how to keep projects moving under pressure, and take ownership of every aspect of a job, we want to talk.

What You'll Be Responsible For

You will own each project from the day reconstruction begins until the customer is completely satisfied.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing residential, commercial, and insurance restoration reconstruction projects
• Building and maintaining exceptional relationships with homeowners, commercial clients, adjusters, and referral partners
• Scheduling and coordinating employees, subcontractors, inspections, suppliers, and materials
• Driving projects forward while minimizing delays and maximizing customer satisfaction
• Managing project budgets and protecting company gross margins
• Holding subcontractors and field personnel accountable for quality, schedules, and workmanship
• Identifying and resolving project issues before they become customer problems
• Maintaining excellent communication with customers throughout the life of every project
• Reviewing scopes of work and identifying opportunities for supplements and change orders
• Conducting quality control inspections throughout production
• Managing project documentation and ensuring files remain organized and complete
• Performing final walkthroughs and delivering an exceptional finished product
• Managing warranty items when necessary
• Taking complete ownership of every project under your supervision

What We're Looking For

Minimum Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of construction project management experience
• Insurance restoration experience strongly preferred
• Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Strong knowledge of residential construction practices
• Excellent organizational and scheduling abilities
• Ability to lead subcontractors, vendors, and field crews with confidence
• Strong financial awareness and understanding of project profitability
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Valid driver's license with clean driving record

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience with a restoration contractor
• Existing network of reliable subcontractors
• Experience working with insurance claims
• Xactimate knowledge is a plus but not required
• Experience managing commercial projects

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is measured by:

• Consistently delivering projects on schedule
• Protecting and improving gross profit margins
• High customer satisfaction and positive reviews
• Low callback and warranty rates
• Efficient project cycle times
• Accurate documentation
• Strong subcontractor management
• Exceptional communication with customers and internal teams
• Taking ownership instead of making excuses

Who Will Not Be Successful Here

This position is not for someone who:

• Requires constant supervision
• Struggles with communication
• Misses deadlines
• Makes excuses instead of solving problems
• Accepts average performance
• Avoids difficult conversations
• Cannot hold subcontractors or employees accountable
• Becomes overwhelmed while managing multiple priorities

Who Thrives Here

The ideal candidate:

• Takes pride in delivering an exceptional customer experience
• Leads from the front
• Makes decisions with confidence
• Holds themselves to an extremely high standard
• Communicates proactively
• Thinks several steps ahead
• Understands that details matter
• Has a relentless sense of ownership
• Wants to help build one of the premier restoration companies in the Southeast

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance bonus opportunities
• Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
• Company technology provided
• Professional development opportunities
• Opportunity to grow into senior leadership as the company continues its rapid expansion

If You're Looking for "Just Another PM Job," This Isn't It.

We're building something special. We move quickly, expect excellence, and reward people who take ownership.

If you're the type of Project Manager people trust with the most difficult jobs, who refuses to accept mediocrity, and who wants to help build a company rather than simply work for one, we'd like to meet you.
