• Quality Control & Problem Solving: Oversee the worksite to ensure construction meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and adheres to all codes and specifications. Address any issues promptly and resolve problems to keep the project on track.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential risks that could affect project timelines, costs, or quality. You’ll proactively ensure that all projects comply with local building codes, regulations, and safety standards.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong Estimating & Budgeting Skills: You’re highly skilled in preparing detailed, accurate estimates and managing project budgets, tracking costs, and finding efficiencies without compromising quality.
• Project Management Expertise: You have hands-on experience managing all aspects of construction projects, including scheduling, resource allocation, subcontractor coordination, and quality control.
• Communication Skills: You’re an excellent communicator, able to manage client relationships, coordinate with subcontractors, and lead project meetings. You can effectively present project updates and manage expectations at all levels.
• Problem-Solving Ability: You are quick on your feet when challenges arise and can find innovative solutions to keep the project moving forward.
• Proven Leadership: You have experience leading teams and contractors, ensuring everyone is on track and aligned with project goals.
• Knowledge of Luxury Construction: You understand the unique needs of custom and high-end homes, from specialized materials and finishes to advanced building techniques.
• Technology Proficiency: You’re comfortable using construction management software (e.g., Microsoft Excel, Outlook) to track budgets, schedules, and documentation.
