• Manage requests for quotations (RFQs), permits, project documentation, and other administrative requirements.

• Coordinate materials management and ensure resources are available when needed.

• Maintain clear communication across internal teams and external stakeholders.

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while ensuring quality, timelines, and operational standards are met.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of residential construction processes, terminology, and workflows.

• Experience managing teams or coordinating multiple stakeholders within a structured project management environment.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Project Manager who understands both the operational and practical sides of residential construction.

If you have a strong construction background and enjoy working in a collaborative, growing environment, we'd love to hear from you.
