Forward Deployed Project Manager

Forward Deployed Project Manager | Norfolk, VA and Jacksonville, NC (scoping more regions based on market activity)

Most project managers spend their days on paperwork. Ours don't. At RestoreFast, AI agents write the daily reports, chase the change orders and build the invoices, so you can spend your time where it matters: on the phone, face to face on site, and in meetings and interviews with your crews and clients. One Forward Deployed PM covers what usually takes a PM, a coordinator and an assistant superintendent.

You don't just run jobs. You run a business: you own your region's P&L, recover margin when a job slips, and grow it with new scope and new clients. You'll start in Norfolk, VA or Jacksonville, NC, where we have years of work lined up and a pipeline that keeps growing over the coming months and years.

About RestoreFast

RestoreFast is a $10M+ restoration and construction company working on military bases, residential homes, natural disaster recovery, and commercial and construction properties. We built our own operating system: FieldMate captures the field, ControlTower runs the portfolio, and SkillBridge keeps the labor bench full. Behind them, a network of AI agents handles about 4,600 tasks and 13,800 messages a week. That's why a team of about ten runs work that would normally take a hundred.

What you'll own

• Your region's P&L, end to end. Run every job profitably, catch margin slipping early and recover it, and grow the book through change orders, new scope and new clients
• Schedule, safety and every client and GC relationship in your region
• A local workforce you build yourself: recruiting, badging and competent-person coverage, so no job depends on travel crews
• The system: daily logs, inspections, change orders and invoices run through FieldMate and our agents
• The next agent: you tell engineering what the field needs, and you see it shipped

You might be a fit if

• You've worked in construction or the trades, as a PM, superintendent, foreman or restoration tech; government or military work is a plus
• You know Davis-Bacon, base access and badging, and GC pay-app cycles
• You hold IICRC (WRT, AMRT) and OSHA 30, or you'll earn them in your first 90 days
• You're transitioning from service (Seabees, Army engineers, facilities NCOs). We run a SkillBridge program and we want you.
• You'd rather let software and AI do the paperwork than fight it

What success looks like in year one

• Your region's P&L grows, every job hits or beats its bid margin, and jobs that slip get recovered
• Change orders go in within 5 business days of being found
• Your site runs on a local crew you hired and trust
• Clients and GCs come back to you for more scope

What we offer

• $55K to $90K base, depending on experience and what you show us before you start, plus a quarterly bonus on regional margin above bid
• Vehicle or mileage
• A path to ownership as your region grows
• The best tools in the industry, built in-house and improved every week from your feedback
