Ready to Take the Next Step in Restoration?
You know restoration. You understand what it takes to get a property, and a customer, through a difficult situation. Maybe you’re a Lead Technician, Crew Chief, Mitigation Supervisor, or Estimator ready to take ownership of your own projects. Or maybe you’re already a Project Manager looking for a company where you can continue to grow.
Paul Davis Restoration is looking for a Mitigation Project Manager to join our growing Waukegan team.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can take control of a project from the initial loss through completion. You’ll coordinate crews, communicate with customers and insurance professionals, keep projects moving, and make sure the work is done safely, efficiently, and to our standards.
You do not need to already have the Project Manager title to be considered. If you have strong restoration experience, understand the mitigation process, and are ready for more responsibility, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Own
- Manage water, fire, mold, and other mitigation projects from start to finish
- Assess losses, determine scope, and develop a clear plan of action
- Coordinate technicians, equipment, subcontractors, and project schedules
- Maintain consistent communication with customers throughout the restoration process
- Work with adjusters, agents, and other insurance professionals
- Monitor project documentation, photos, moisture readings, job notes, and required paperwork
- Keep projects moving while managing quality, timelines, and profitability
- Identify issues early and make decisions to keep jobs on track
- Support and coach field team members while setting clear expectations
- Participate in the on-call rotation as needed
Who We're Looking For
Restoration experience is strongly preferred, especially in water mitigation, fire restoration, mold remediation, or related property damage services.
You could be a great fit if you are:
- An experienced restoration professional ready to move into Project Management
- A current Mitigation Project Manager looking for your next opportunity
- Comfortable leading people and holding others accountable
- Organized enough to manage multiple active projects and changing priorities
- Confident communicating with homeowners during stressful situations
- Able to make decisions and solve problems without needing constant direction
- Familiar with restoration documentation, estimating, insurance claims, or industry software
- Motivated by taking ownership and seeing a project through to completion
Coming from outside restoration? We’re open to the right candidate with strong project management, construction, field operations, or service-industry leadership experience who can learn quickly and thrive in a fast-moving environment.
Why Paul Davis?
Restoration isn't predictable—and that's exactly why strong Project Managers matter. You’ll have the opportunity to lead projects that make a real difference for customers while building your career in an industry where no two days are the same.
If you've been waiting for the opportunity to move from doing the work to leading the work, this could be your next step.
