Construction Project Manager (Gainesville)

“We’re not just renovating spaces. We’re redefining the standard.”

Renovation Manager – Multifamily Renovations

Company Overview :

At Smart Build , we're not just renovating spaces, we're redefining the standard for multifamily and commercial renovations. What began nearly 20 years ago as a small coatings company (Smart Coats) has grown into one of the region’s largest and most respected renovation service providers .

In 2018, we rebranded as Smart Build to reflect our expanded capabilities: from detailed take-offs and precise carpentry to full-scale capital projects. We’ve completed over 200+ units spanning apartment complexes, condominium associations, retail buildings, and office spaces, each with a sharp focus on quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction .

But what really sets us apart isn’t just what we do, it’s how we do it :

• Growth-minded team that values ownership, continuous improvement, and results
• Lean operations that let us move fast without bureaucracy
• Customer-first mindset that drives repeat business and long-term partnerships
• National reach with strong roots in Greater Boston, allowing us to scale without losing our personal touch

We’re in an exciting phase of growth, and we’re building a team that’s ready to scale with us. If you’re someone who wants to make a real impact, be trusted to do great work, and grow your career, not just clock in, we’d love to talk.

Why This Role Matters:

We're not looking for just another Renovations Manager, we’re looking for a Rockstar who can lead, deliver, and scale with us.
