ABOUT US
Service Master of Salem is a leading disaster restoration and reconstruction firm serving the greater Salem region across four locations. We restore homes, businesses, and communities following fire, water, and storm events. Our Construction Division is growing — and we’re building the leadership team to match.


THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for a sharp, driven construction professional who is ready to step into leadership. As Assistant Division Manager, you will work directly alongside our Operations Manager to sharpen the efficiency and profitability of the Construction Division — coordinating project managers, supporting estimators, and ensuring every job runs on time, on budget, and above client expectations.

This is a high-visibility role with a clear path toward Division Manager. You will have real influence over how the division operates — shaping the systems, workflows, and culture we build together.

*** This position requires a minimum of 5 years of construction project management or construction operations leadership experience. Applicants who do not meet this requirement will not be considered.**
* WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Oversee job distribution and assignment across the division, matching the right crews and project managers to each project
• Run weekly division meetings and lead operational reviews with project managers and estimators
• Partner with estimators to review project scopes, budgets, and profitability targets before and during jobs
• Identify and drive process improvements that reduce waste and increase division margin
• Monitor active projects for schedule adherence, quality standards, and client satisfaction
• Support project managers with problem-solving on complex or escalated jobs
• Track KPIs and report division performance to the Operations Manager
• Help onboard, coach, and develop field staff and project management team members
• Coordinate with mitigation, administration, and sales departments for seamless job handoffs
• Step in as acting division lead when the Operations Manager is unavailable

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Required:

• 5+ years of construction project management or construction operations leadership experience
• Proven experience managing multiple construction projects simultaneously, including scheduling, budgeting, job costing, subcontractor coordination, and client communication
• Strong administrative and operational management experience — not solely field supervision
• Experience overseeing project financials, timelines, documentation, and team accountability
• Ability to lead both field personnel and project management staff in a fast-paced construction environment
• Strong working knowledge of estimating, project workflows, and operational efficiency
• Excellent communication, organizational, leadership, and problem-solving skills
• Experience with construction management, scheduling, and project tracking software

Preferred:

• Restoration industry experience (fire, water, or post mitigation reconstruction)
• Familiarity with Xactimate estimating software, or similar
• Prior experience in a supervisory or assistant management role
