• Location: Miami, FL (Hybrid)
• Job/Employment Type: Full Time
• Project Scope: Luxury Residential

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:

• Manage active luxury residential projects from pre-construction planning through final punch list and turnover.
• Coordinate two-week look-ahead schedules alongside field Superintendents to prevent delays and maintain momentum.
• Direct project buyout, negotiate trade change orders, and prepare detailed subcontractor purchase orders.
• Track project financials, generate monthly client progress billings, and deliver regular financial forecasts.
• 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

• Demonstrated ability to interpret construction plans, specs, contracts, schedules, and budgets.
• Proficiency using modern construction management software like Procore alongside scheduling tools.
• Strong leadership skills to negotiate with subcontractors and hold trade partners accountable.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to interface directly with luxury clients and designers.

• Experience managing ground-up custom residential builds ranging from $7M to $20M+.
• Deep understanding of local South Florida building codes, coastal permitting, and inspection processes.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Project completion bonuses and performance-based pay incentives.
• Comprehensive medical insurance coverage.
• Paid time off including paid holidays, vacation days, and sick leave.
