Director of Construction

Job Description

Director of Construction. Residential. South Florida. Confidential search.

J & J Talent Group is taking confidential applications now, ahead of Director of Construction searches opening this fall for three South Florida builders: a luxury custom builder in Palm Beach County, a national production homebuilder, and a residential developer in Miami. All three are confidential. We match you to the one that fits.

The seat Director of Construction, VP of Construction, Director of Field Operations, Area Construction Manager, or a General Superintendent or Senior Construction Manager ready to run the whole field side. You lead the superintendents and construction managers, own starts, cycle time, quality, and closings across every active community or custom home, manage the trade partner bench, and report to a division president, an owner, or a general manager.

Where the work is Production and semi-custom communities. Luxury custom homes on private lots. Townhomes, multifamily, and mixed-use residential in Miami. Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade, with job sites across all three.

What we look for Eight or more years building homes, with the last three leading superintendents or construction managers. You've run a division, an area, or a full custom portfolio, not one job. You know Palm Beach and Miami-Dade permitting, the Florida Building Code, product approvals, and what a hurricane plan looks like on an open site. You can speak to starts and closings, even-flow, punch and QA, warranty handoff, and trade partner performance. A CGC or CBC license helps. A track record you can walk through year by year. Discretion. Most of the people we place aren't looking, and we treat your application the same way.

How a search works with us Confidential from the first call. Juan or Jess will call you within a week to understand where you are in your career and what would motivate you to move. We ask about contact you've had with other builders in the last 12 months so there are no conflicts later. Nothing goes to a client without your OK, and you hear the client's name before you decide whether to proceed. When a search fits, you get the full brief: the seat, the reporting line, the range, and why it's open.
