Site Team Leader - Construction

Site Team Leader

The Site Team Leader is responsible for leading the off-site installation and completion of DreamBuild modular homes after the modules ("boxes") leave the manufacturing site. Approximately 78% of each home is completed at the manufacturing site, and the remaining work—including setting modules, bolting, MEP connections, porches, exterior completion, interior finish, and final inspections—takes place at the customer site.

This leader ensures site readiness, coordinates closely with subcontractors and internal teams, and drives the site portion of the home toward completion within DreamBuild's target, including transport time. The role is hands-on, requires strong technical skills, and must uphold DreamBuild's standards for safety, quality, and customer-ready completion leading to a Certificate of Occupancy.
