Project Manager

Job Description

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST - ONLY CANDIDATES THAT FILL OUT THE JOTFORM APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED

Lighthouse Contracting Group builds custom homes and remodels around the Lakes Region, and our reputation gets rebuilt every day — one on-time schedule, one accurate budget, one homeowner who actually  enjoyed their remodel at a time. We’re looking for a Project Manager who takes that personally.

Here’s how it works around here: when a project hits production, the PM  holds the baton . All of it. Every question, every RFI, every PO and CO, every budget line in JobTread — it runs through you. That’s not pressure, that’s clarity. No committee, no confusion, no “who was supposed to order that?” You own it, and everyone — clients, trades, vendors, designers — knows exactly who to call.

This isn’t a “warm body with a clipboard” posting. We’re a tight, motivated crew with real systems, real support, and zero tolerance for chaos jobsites. If you’ve been duct-taping a disorganized company together with your own personal heroics, come see what it’s like when selections are ordered, files are ready, and the handoff actually happens — deliberately, in front of the client, baton in hand.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Own everything during active construction on your projects — schedule, site logistics, client communication, quality. Full stop.
• Be the single point of contact for clients from kickoff to completion. Proactive updates, honest conversations, no surprises.
• Own POs and Change Orders. Delegate the task if you want — never the responsibility. Hard standard: executed within 1 week, period.
• Own the budget in JobTread: budget vs. actual, anticipated costs, variances flagged early — numbers that tell the real story of the job.
• Coordinate foremen, crews, and trade partners so everyone knows what’s next and the materials are there when they need them.
• Enforce quality like it’s your own house — catch deviations early, keep jobsites clean, safe, and brag-worthy.
• Work alongside a Lead PM and an Operations Manager who handle oversight and pre-production, so you can run the job — not chase paperwork from three months ago.

You Might Be Our PM If...

• You physically cannot let a Change Order “sit for a bit.” It bothers you. Good.
• You’d rather deliver awkward news today than a bigger problem next week.
• Clients calm down when you pick up the phone — because you always pick up the phone.
• A budget that’s “probably close” makes your eye twitch. Yours are current, accurate, and defensible.
• You’re solutions-minded: you show up with the fix, not just the problem.
• You live within 45 minutes of Gilford, NH — this is a boots-on-site role, not a Zoom job.
• You have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Residential remodeling experience preferred — you know what’s behind the drywall of a 100-year-old lake house, and it doesn’t scare you.
• Project management software experience is a huge plus (we live in JobTread — schedules, budgets, daily logs, all of it).

What We’re Not

• Not a “figure it out alone” shop — you’ll have a Lead PM in your corner and an Operations Manager who tees up every project before it ever lands in your lap.
• Not a production-line tract builder — this is custom work in real people’s homes, where the details matter and the clients notice.
• Not disorganized — schedules live in JobTread, selections are ordered before kickoff, and everyone knows who holds the baton.

The Money & The Perks

• $35/hr starting pay , with earning potential of $40/hr after our 6-month onboarding process.
• $10,000 in sign-on bonuses — $7,500 paid after 90 days, another $2,500 at 6 months.

After 90 days:

• $455/mo. health insurance stipend.
• SIMPLE IRA with up to 3% company match.
• Company phone, truck & gas card.
• 6 paid holidays plus your birthday and vacation time.

After 6 months:

• Eligible for our Phantom Stock profit sharing plan — 5% annually, estimated at $30,000. Yes, you read that right.
• A crew that actually likes each other, and a company that promotes from within.
