THE COMPANY & TEAM

Our client operates in one of the most dynamic restoration markets in the country. When disaster strikes - whether it's a burst pipe flooding a Manhattan apartment or storm damage to a New Jersey warehouse - property owners need someone they can trust to restore not just their property, but their peace of mind.

This franchise operates with an entrepreneurial spirit where precision and collaboration drive results. You'll work alongside Project Managers, Crew Chiefs, and field teams who understand that accurate estimating is the foundation of every successful restoration project.

YOUR DNA

• You are a precision-focused professional who thrives on turning complex field conditions into clear, defensible estimates. You understand that every line item you write impacts both project success and company profitability.

• You bring technical mastery combined with business acumen. You're not just documenting what happened - you're strategically positioning each project for approval, profitability, and smooth execution.

• You have exceptional attention to detail and take pride in creating estimates that are bulletproof under scrutiny. You understand that carriers and TPAs are looking for any reason to reduce scope, and you build your estimates to withstand that pressure.

• You're a collaborative team player who works seamlessly with Project Managers and field teams. You know that great estimates require input from multiple sources, and you're skilled at translating field observations into technical documentation.

• You're proactive about identifying issues before they become problems. You spot scope gaps, pricing inconsistencies, and potential compliance issues early, giving the team time to address them properly.

• You thrive in fast-paced environments where accuracy and speed both matter. You can manage multiple active estimates while maintaining the quality standards that protect margins and support approvals.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

As the Senior Estimator, you'll be the technical expert who ensures every restoration project is properly scoped, accurately priced, and positioned for success with carriers and TPAs.

What You'll Actually Do:

• Work directly with Project Managers to take field scope and documented conditions (including DocuSketch scans, photos, and measurements) and translate them into accurate estimates for mitigation and reconstruction (residential and commercial)

• Use Xactimate (required) and Symbility (preferred) to write clear, defensible estimates and supplements based on documented scope and real job conditions

• Refine scope clarity with PMs and Crew Chiefs to ensure documentation supports claim compliance, billing accuracy, and margin protection

• Prepare supplements and revisions as job conditions evolve, responding professionally to carrier/TPA feedback and protecting appropriate scope capture

• Maintain pricing discipline and margin awareness; identify scope gaps early and escalate issues before they impact production or collections

• Communicate with adjusters and stakeholders as needed to support approvals, resolve scope questions, and move files toward faster closeout

• Conduct occasional job-site inspections across NYC and Northeast NJ to improve scoping accuracy and support field teams

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure estimates align with production capabilities and timeline requirements

Required Experience:

• Strong working proficiency in Xactimate (non-negotiable)

• Sharp attention to detail and accuracy

• Comfort with technology and estimating tools
