QUICK OVERVIEW – TL;DR
We are hiring a Reconstruction Project Manager to run residential and commercial reconstruction projects end-to-end. This role owns budgets, schedules, subcontractors, customer communication, and job profitability – with significant upside through commissions tied to production and performance.
THE WHY
Reconstruction is where restoration becomes complete. Great Recon PMs combine builder discipline with strong customer management – they keep trades moving, protect margin, and close projects cleanly.
THE WHERE
Opportunities in both New York and New Jersey (Metro NY/NJ). Field-based roles require travel across NYC and Northeast NJ as needed.
THE ROLE – WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
· Manage reconstruction projects from signed scope through completion: schedule, budget, quality, and customer experience.
· Coordinate trades and subcontractors; set expectations, control timelines, and hold vendors accountable on price and performance.
· Work closely with the in-house estimating team on scopes, supplements/change orders, and job budgets.
· Own job profitability: manage labor/sub costs, material sourcing, and change conditions with a commercial mindset.
· Communicate proactively with homeowners, property managers, and adjusters; resolve issues and drive decisions.
· Maintain strong documentation and internal reporting so billing, collections, and closeout happen fast.
· Participate in site walk-throughs, punch lists, and high-touch client interactions – this is a customer-facing role.
WHO THRIVES HERE
· You are a builder-operator: organized, decisive, and disciplined.
· You are comfortable being 'salesy' in a professional way – you can guide customers, set expectations, and earn trust.
· You protect margin without sacrificing quality.
· You can manage multiple jobs at once without letting details fall through the cracks.
REQUIRED / PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
· Required: Valid driver's license; strong construction project management fundamentals; comfort leading subs and managing schedules; strong customer communication.
· Preferred: Reconstruction/restoration PM experience; experience with insurance-driven reconstruction; estimating familiarity (Xactimate/Symbility or similar); knowledge of NYC/Metro building environments; ability to manage higher-complexity commercial jobs.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
· Competitive base salary ($65-85K) plus commissions/incentives tied to profit, production and overall performance. Total Compensation potential is $200K+.
· Benefits package, including PTO, 401(k) with match, medical reimbursement, and training/development support.
