Looking for your next leadership opportunity?


At Voda Cleaning & Restoration, we don't just restore homes—we help people recover after life's unexpected disasters.


We're growing quickly and are looking for an experienced Restoration Project Manager / Crew Chief who can confidently lead water, mold, fire, and emergency restoration projects from start to finish as well as write the scope and converse with our estimate writer that writes Xactimate.


If you're ready to lead projects, mentor technicians, make field decisions, and build a long-term career with a company that values integrity, quality, and teamwork, we'd love to meet you.


Your Two Primary Responsibilities1. Scope the Job

Responsibilities include:

• Develop detailed field scopes including measurements, photos, demolition plans, drying plans, and remediation procedures.
• Document moisture readings, affected materials, equipment needs, and restoration procedures.
• Collaborate with our Xactimate estimator to ensure every job is properly scoped.

You are NOT expected to write Xactimate estimates.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead and mentor restoration technicians while working alongside them.
• Perform all aspects of water mitigation, structural drying, mold remediation, selective demolition, smoke and odor restoration, and emergency services.
• Build containments, establish negative air, perform HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, flood cuts, demolition, and encapsulation.
• Install, monitor, and adjust drying equipment using moisture mapping and daily psychrometric readings.
