SERVPRO Team Shaw is one of the largest SERVPRO franchise organizations in the country, having grown from one location in 2020 to 33 locations today across three major markets. We have assisted over 5,000 customers with water and fire emergencies nationwide. We are a full turnkey provider for our customers, doing everything from water and fire emergency services, moving and storage of contents, and textile cleaning all the way to reconstruction. We were recently ranked the #69 fastest-growing private restoration/construction company in the country, and growth opportunities continue to arise across commercial large loss, fire damage restoration, asbestos and mold removal, and more.
POSITION SUMMARY
The General Manager owns the full performance of the market — mitigation, reconstruction, and contents — with complete profit and loss responsibility.

You will balance quality, speed, and profitability while coaching and developing the next generation of restoration and construction talent.
