The Opportunity

You will serve as the primary owner and strategic leader of luxury custom residential projects from pre-construction through turnover. This role gives you full accountability to guide project finances, schedules, and trade execution while delivering high-end homes for a respected custom builder. You will work alongside a supportive field team that values integrity, accountability, and your professional development.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Oversee submittals, client selections, RFIs, and municipal permitting processes using Procore management software.
• Partner with field Superintendents daily to ensure jobsites remain safe, organized, clean, and on schedule.
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with clients, architects, interior designers, and subcontractors.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Proficiency using modern construction management software like Procore alongside scheduling tools.
• Strong leadership skills to negotiate with subcontractors and hold trade partners accountable.
