Residential Construction Project Manager

About the Company: We are a growing single-family home builder specializing in homes up to $1.5M, building both in communities we self-develop and in neighborhoods purchased from outside developers.

Position Overview: We are seeking an experienced Residential Construction Project Manager to oversee the full lifecycle of homebuilding projectsfrom raw land through finished product. This role requires more than standard tract home experience.

• Manage residential construction projects from pre-construction through delivery ("trees to keys")

• Work closely with engineers, graders, and subcontractors to ensure site preparation is accurate, cost-effective, and aligned with project schedules
• Oversee all phases of construction including grading, foundation, framing, MEP, finishes, and punch list
• Ensure compliance with design specifications, quality standards, and local building codes
• Collaborate with developers, architects, and homeowners on both production and custom projects
• Develop and maintain project budgets and schedules, addressing site-specific challenges proactively
• Lead and coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, and on-site personnel
• Maintain strong communication with clients, providing updates and ensuring satisfaction through closing

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in residential construction project management, preferably with homes in the $750K$1.5M range
• Experience in both production and custom single-family homes
• Proven ability to manage projects starting from raw/vacant lots (not just padded lots)
• Strong understanding of site work, grading, foundations, and civil coordination
• Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Proficient in construction management software and scheduling tools
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or related field preferred

Why Join Us:

• Work on high-quality homes in thoughtfully developed communities
• Be part of a collaborative, growth-focused team
• Competitive salary, performance incentives, and benefits package
