Project Manager – Disaster Restoration
When someone’s home floods at 2:00 a.m., you are the person who makes it right.
PURE Restoration is a full-spectrum disaster restoration and reconstruction company serving homeowners, property managers, commercial clients, and the insurance industry across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove. Fire, flood, wind, mould, asbestos, biohazard—we respond 24/7, and we stay until the property is back to pre-loss condition or better.
At PURE Restoration, our success is built on four core values:
- Respect – We treat our clients, teammates, partners, and communities with professionalism, empathy, and care.
- Teamwork – We work together, support one another, and recognize that the best outcomes are achieved through collaboration.
- Integrity – We communicate honestly, do the right thing even when it’s difficult, and stand behind our commitments.
- Accountability – We take ownership of our work, our decisions, and the results we deliver every day.
We’re looking for a Project Manager who naturally lives these values while leading restoration projects from first notice of loss through final completion.
This is not a coordinating role. You will scope the loss, build the estimate, run the trades, manage the adjuster, and hand the keys back to a client who is genuinely relieved.
-
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Files from first notice of loss to final sign-off.
- Assess the damage on site, scope the work, and build the restoration plan, including sequencing, scheduling, resources, and critical path.
- Lead projects with respect, ensuring clients, trades, and teammates feel informed, supported, and valued throughout every stage of the restoration process.
- Run the day: coordinate internal crews, subtrades, vendors, and equipment. Solve problems before they become delays.
- Own the financial performance of your projects. Build Xactimate estimates, manage budgets, defend supplements, and protect project margins.
- Be the trusted voice for clients and adjusters by communicating proactively, honestly, and with integrity, especially when conversations are difficult.
- Set and enforce the highest safety standards on every project. You have unconditional authority to stop unsafe work.
- Foster teamwork by developing strong relationships with coordinators, technicians, site leads, subtrades, and support departments to achieve exceptional outcomes.
- Demonstrate accountability by taking ownership of project timelines, quality, budgets, client satisfaction, and final results.
