Xactimate Experience Xactimate experience is strongly preferred. The Water Mitigation Manager should be able to document a loss accurately, develop an appropriate scope of work, identify relevant mitigation line items, and assist with preparing estimates and final invoices. What We're Looking For We are looking for someone who treats each project as their responsibility from beginning to end. You should be able to walk into a water loss, assess the situation, develop a mitigation plan, explain that plan to the customer, direct the crew, monitor the drying process, maintain proper documentation, and bring the project to completion. Because ACER is growing, this position offers the opportunity to have a significant role in building our water mitigation operation rather than simply managing an established department. Schedule Full-time position with availability for emergency water-loss response. Water damage does not always occur during normal business hours, so some evenings, weekends, and emergency calls should be expected.

Compensation can be structured based on the candidate's experience, ability to manage projects independently, Xactimate proficiency, certifications, and overall responsibilities.
