Description

Welcome to Merit Restorations.
We are experts in rebuilding homes and commercial properties after fire, water, storm, and other disasters. We serve families and insurance partners with honesty, clarity, and urgency. We take full ownership of our projects and deliver with integrity, grit, and care.

As a Restoration Project Manager, you will lead restoration projects (up to $50,000) from scope to closeout. You’ll manage both the construction and client experience—coordinating with adjusters, subcontractors, and homeowners while keeping jobs on time, on budget, and to the highest standard of quality.

We’re looking for a technical expert: organized, detail-driven, a strong communicator with high empathy. Someone who thrives in high-pressure situations, solves problems quickly, and sets the pace for teams.
