Our Project Managers bring together organization, communication, problem-solving, and accountability to create a positive experience for homeowners and deliver successful projects.

What You'll Do Manage projects from start to finish: Coordinate planning, pre-construction, permitting, scheduling, construction, final walkthroughs, and project closeout. Own budgets and schedules: Track project costs, timelines, change orders, and milestones. Identify potential issues early and work proactively to resolve them. Coordinate people and priorities: Work with homeowners, subcontractors, vendors, architects, designers, and other partners to keep projects moving forward. Build client relationships: Keep clients informed, set clear expectations, communicate changes, and help them navigate decisions throughout the process. Stay organized and use technology: Maintain accurate project records, schedules, daily logs, budgets, and change orders using Buildertrend, Procore, or other digital tools. Solve problems: Adapt when plans change, take responsibility for finding solutions, and follow through until issues are resolved. Protect quality and accountability: Monitor project progress, workmanship, jobsite safety, and compliance with applicable building codes and project specifications. Improve how we work: Collaborate with leadership and the team to strengthen processes, share ideas, and continuously improve project delivery. Who You Are We're more interested in how you think, work, and take ownership than in whether your background follows a traditional path. You may be a great fit if you: Take initiative, accept responsibility, and follow through without needing constant direction. Are organized and able to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and moving pieces. Communicate clearly and professionally, especially when expectations change or challenges arise.
