Job Description

ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER, REAL ESTATE RENOVATIONS

Starting pay: $18 per hour
Bonus eligibility after six months

Location: Green Bay office plus properties throughout Northeast Wisconsin

THIS JOB IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

If you want to sit behind a desk, wait for someone to tell you what to do and watch the clock until it is time to leave, this probably is not the job for you.

If you do not like making phone calls, following up with people, solving problems or occasionally adjusting your schedule to meet a buyer or contractor after normal business hours, you probably should not apply.

But if you enjoy working hard, having fun, taking ownership and pushing yourself to become better than you were yesterday, keep reading.

iBuyWI is looking for an Assistant Project Manager who wants to help us renovate more houses, complete projects faster and build something meaningful.

You do not need years of construction or real estate experience. You do need to be dependable, organized, confident talking with people and willing to learn. We can teach you our systems. We cannot teach you to care.

WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

No two days will be exactly the same.

One day you may meet a contractor at a property to get a renovation bid. The next day you may lead a buyer walkthrough, compare estimates, track project expenses or find a new subcontractor who can help us finish a project on time.

You will work closely with our Project Manager to:

• Meet contractors and subcontractors at properties to review upcoming projects

• Find and build relationships with dependable contractors throughout Northeast Wisconsin

• Coordinate bids and compare estimates

• Send scopes, walkthrough videos, floor plans and project information to contractors

• Coordinate buyer walkthroughs at properties we are selling

• Keep our project management software updated with accurate timelines and project progress

• Track budgets, expenses, invoices, change orders and remaining costs for each property

• Follow up with contractors and keep projects moving

• Collect W 9s, certificates of insurance, invoices and lien waivers

• Coordinate utilities, dumpsters, lawn care, snow removal and material deliveries

• Identify projects that are falling behind or going over budget before they become bigger problems

• Help score contractors based on pricing, quality, communication and reliability

• Step in wherever needed to help us purchase, renovate and sell more properties successfully

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

We are not looking for someone who only checks boxes.

We are looking for someone who notices when something is wrong and helps fix it.

Someone who follows up without being reminded.

Someone who keeps accurate information instead of guessing.

Someone who understands that a delayed bid, missed material order or inaccurate budget can cost thousands of dollars.

Someone who takes responsibility when mistakes happen, learns from them and gets better.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are highly organized and pay attention to details

• Communicate clearly and professionally

• Are comfortable making phone calls and following up until you receive an answer

• Take ownership without needing constant supervision

• Can manage multiple properties, people and deadlines

• Stay positive when plans change or problems come up

• Are comfortable with spreadsheets, email and project management software

• Have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation and the ability to travel throughout Northeast Wisconsin

• Are willing to occasionally accommodate paid buyer or contractor walkthroughs outside normal business hours

Construction, real estate or project management experience is helpful but not required. Character, work ethic and willingness to learn matter more to us.

COMPENSATION AND GROWTH

Starting pay is $18 per hour.

After six months, the right person may become eligible for performance bonuses based on reliability, project organization, cost savings, contractor development and overall contribution to the flip department.

We are growing this department with the goal of purchasing and renovating at least three properties every month. As the department grows, the right person will have opportunities to take on more responsibility and develop into a larger project management role.

OUR FAITH AND COMPANY CULTURE

iBuyWI is a Christian based company and our faith influences how we lead, serve others and make decisions. We often pray together during company meetings and believe in treating our customers, contractors and team members with honesty, compassion and respect.

You do not need to be a Christian to work at iBuyWI and people of all beliefs are welcome to apply. Participation in prayer or other faith based activities is always voluntary. We want to be open about who we are so every applicant understands our culture before joining the team.

OUR CORE VALUES

We are a team of A Players who live out our core values every day:

1. We speak and act in ways that encourage and uplift the people around us.
2. We maintain a positive attitude, especially during challenging situations.
3. We treat our team, buyers, sellers and vendors with respect, dignity, compassion and kindness.
4. We do what we say we will do. We choose the right thing even when it is difficult, inconvenient or no one is watching.
5. We are problem solving ninjas. We work together to find solutions that balance the needs of everyone involved.
6. We stay humble, take responsibility for our actions, own our mistakes, accept feedback and remain obsessed with growth.

STILL READING?

Good. You might be the kind of person we are looking for.

To apply, please submit your resume along with a two minute video explaining why you would be a great fit for this position. The easiest way to do this is to upload the video to Google Drive and send the link or upload to youtube as private or unlisted and send us the link. 

We are less interested in a perfectly produced video and more interested in seeing your personality, communication skills and why this opportunity excites you.
