Paul Davis Restoration of Northwest Connecticut is hiring an experienced Reconstruction Project Manager to lead residential and commercial insurance-repair projects from initial inspection and estimating through construction, final walkthrough, billing support, and closeout. This is a hands-on, high-accountability role for someone who can build accurate Xactimate estimates, manage subcontractors, communicate confidently with homeowners and adjusters, and protect schedule, quality, customer experience, and gross margin.

Maintain complete, current, audit-ready files in RMS and connected systems, including notes, estimates, approvals, schedules, bids, invoices, permits, inspections, supplements, change orders, and closeout documents. Lead punch-list completion, final walkthroughs, Certificates of Satisfaction, billing documentation, payment follow-up support, and administrative closeout.
