Director of Construction and Project Management

Faris Capital Partners is a value-add multifamily real estate investment firm on a mission to go Full Out® for our investors and provide the best real estate investing experience in the world. We acquire underperforming apartment communities across the Southeast, execute disciplined renovation programs, optimize operations, and deliver premium returns for our investor partners.

With over $170M in assets under management and a rapidly growing portfolio, we are an ambitious, execution-driven team with a big goal: raising $1 billion in equity by December 31, 2030. We are not a company that stands still. Every day is an opportunity to be better — and we mean it.

Faris Residences is the property management arm of Faris Capital Partners — and the operational home of this role. Our mission is simple: to set a new standard for rental living, where residents feel loved and proud to call it home.

We back that mission with our Love Where You Live Guarantee™ — we guarantee residents will love their home, or they can cancel their lease at no cost. That is not a marketing line. It is a standard of execution that runs through everything we do, from the leasing office to the job site.

The Faris Residences core values — Love People Genuinely, Act with Wisdom, Deliver First Class Service, Do It Right the First Time, and Move with Speed — are directly reflected in what this role demands. The Director of Construction & Project Management will be one of the most visible carriers of these values across our portfolio.

When you deliver a beautifully renovated unit on time and on budget, you are not just hitting a project milestone — you are making good on our promise to every resident who calls a Faris property home.

We are looking for a driven, detail-obsessed Director of Construction & Project Management to lead all construction and renovation activity across our growing portfolio. This is fundamentally a project management role — you will own the full scope of our 28-Day Property Transformation program and all ongoing unit renovations, driving every project across the finish line on time and on budget.

You will report directly to the President of Faris Capital Partners and operate as the construction authority for the organization. If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, holds vendors accountable without apology, and takes genuine pride in protecting investor capital, this is your role.

While this is a remote position, we will only be interviewing candidates in the Atlanta-metro area. This role will require travel to our assets around the Southeastern US (including a few in the Atlanta area) so proximity to the Atlanta airport is a must for ease of travel.

Project Management & Renovation Oversight

• Own and execute Faris Capital’s 28-Day Property Transformation process from acquisition through completion, ensuring every milestone is met on schedule.

• Manage all unit renovation programs over the full life of each asset — from initial scope development through final punch-list and turnover.

• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, ensuring work proceeds in logical sequence with clear accountability at every stage.

• Proactively identify schedule risks and resolve them before they become delays.

Vendor Selection & Contract Management

• Solicit and evaluate a minimum of three competitive bids for all scopes of work; make well-supported vendor recommendations grounded in quality, reliability, and value.

• Negotiate and administer vendor contracts, ensuring all terms protect FCP’s interests and clearly define scope, timeline, and performance expectations.

• Conduct regular contract rebids on a defined cadence to ensure the portfolio always benefits from competitive market pricing.

• Maintain a vetted, high-performance vendor network across all Southeast markets.

Budget & Financial Accountability

• Own project budgets from inception to completion — we always come in on budget, and you will be the person who makes that happen.

• Prepare detailed cost estimates and review all contractor proposals with a critical eye.

• Track and report on actual vs. budgeted costs in real time; escalate variances early and with solutions in hand.

• Review, approve, and process all contractor invoices and change orders in alignment with contract terms.

• Develop and present regular project status reports to the President and senior leadership.

Vendor Accountability & Quality Control

• Hold all vendors and contractors firmly accountable to agreed-upon timelines, budgets, and quality standards — no exceptions.

• Conduct regular site visits and inspections to verify workmanship and ensure compliance with project specifications.

• Manage RFIs, submittals, and change orders with precision and minimal disruption to project momentum.

• Enforce a safe, professional, and well-organized work environment on all job sites.

Experience & Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of project management experience specifically in multifamily construction and/or value-add renovation — this experience is required, not preferred.

• Proven track record of delivering multifamily renovation projects on time and on budget.

• Deep expertise in competitive bid processes, contract negotiation, and vendor management.

• Strong working knowledge of construction costs, scheduling software, and project administration (Procore or equivalent preferred).

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Building Science, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred.

• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel throughout the Southeast as required.

• OSHA 30-Hour certification preferred; Certified Construction Manager (CCM) a plus.

Who You Are

• A project management professional first — you are defined by your ability to manage scope, time, and budget, not just the tools in the toolbox.

• Uncompromising on accountability: you hold vendors to their word and yourself to an even higher standard.

• A clear, confident communicator who can translate complex construction details into crisp updates for leadership.

• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously without dropping the ball.

• Comfortable working autonomously and making sound decisions in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

• Someone who genuinely loves people and knows that relationships — with vendors, with residents, with teammates — are the foundation of great work.

• Base Salary: $95,000 – $110,000, commensurate with experience

• Performance Bonus: Annual bonus tied to project delivery metrics (on-budget, on-time performance)

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Paid time off (PTO)

• Opportunity to grow with a company on a clear path to $1 billion in assets under management
