Atlanta, GA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/3/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/2/2025

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Copper Sky is an Atlanta residential remodeling design-build firm that is expanding. We like to say, “we do cool projects for cool people." Our projects are large in scale and take typically over a year to construction completion. We have a tight-knit team that enjoys working together. We value work-life balance as a motivator for doing what we do. We pride ourselves on being the top in-town remodeler and believe in compensating our team well for embracing that title. So, finding the right person is important to us.

We have titled this job listing Preconstruction Project Developer, but the official job title will be Project Developer (PD) or Junior Project Developer, depending on experience. Similar jobs at other companies are also called :

We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented professional with a passion for home remodeling to join our team. This PD role is essential to the preconstruction phase of our projects, providing direct support to the Senior Project Developer.

As a PD, you’ll play a key role in shaping project success from the start. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator, a proactive problem solver, and thrives in a detailed and deadline driven environment. A solid understanding of the residential remodeling process is ideal. You should be able to multitask efficiently, take initiative, and contribute to the development of each project.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS and RESPONSIBILITIES

This Project Developer role will support the Senior PD and design team in guiding homeowners through the Project Development phase (also referred to as Pre-Construction or Design phase). This phase begins with the signing of the initial design contract and continues through to the construction contract signing—but does not include the construction phase.

The PDs are essential in facilitating a smooth transition into construction while ensuring a premium preconstruction experience for the homeowner. In collaboration with the Senior PD, who serves as the primary homeowner contact, this role helps manage the design, pricing, and scope development process, keeping client expectations, budgets, and timelines on track. The PD team is responsible for assembling and delivering a comprehensive project package to the construction team, setting the stage for a successful build.
