A Day in the Life of a Project Director

As a Project Director at First Onsite, you are at the heart of transforming restoration projects from concept to completion. Leveraging tools like Xactimate, you'll develop precise scopes of work, estimates, and preliminary budgets that set each project up for success. Working closely with Operations, you gather field measurements, plans, photos, and materials, applying both technical expertise and a deep understanding of construction and restoration costs to every job.

Your positive, service-driven mindset makes you a trusted partner to colleagues, clients, and subcontractors alike. From building strong relationships to streamlining collections and proactively solving challenges, you ensure projects move forward smoothly and profitably. Clear communication and attention to detail are your trademarks, keeping the right people informed at every stage and helping deliver exceptional results every time.

Responsibilities :

  • Manage projects from start to finish, including crews, subcontractors, and schedules
  • Prepare budgets, estimates, and scope of work; maintain profit margins
  • Oversee daily jobsite operations, safety, and documentation
  • Review and approve subcontractor proposals and change orders
  • Collaborate with operations to ensure projects stay on schedule and budget
  • Maintain client deliverables and project records in Salesforce
  • Conduct mitigation assessments and develop project plans
  • Respond to project needs 24 / 7

Experience & Education :

  • Leadership experience in construction / restoration
  • Knowledge of construction documents and large loss projects
  • 3+ years industry experience
  • High school diploma required; bachelor's degree, preferred
  • 4+ certifications
  • Disaster restoration experience, preferred
  • Valid driver's license
