Project Manager & Estimator - High-End Custom Homes & Renovations

Holleford Homes | Kingston, ON

$75,000-$87,000 + Performance Bonus | Benefits | RRSP Match | Company Vehicle Option

Turn Your Construction Experience Into Projects You're Proud to Put Your Name On

Clear Results is hiring on behalf of Holleford Homes, a custom home builder known for creating exceptional spaces where craftsmanship, design, and attention to detail come together.

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager & Estimator who knows that great projects don't happen by accident. They happen because someone takes ownership of the details, communicates clearly, solves problems before they become issues, and leads everyone toward the same goal: delivering a finished home the client loves.

This is an opportunity for a construction professional who wants more than just managing schedules and paperwork. You'll have the opportunity to lead high-end renovation and custom home projects from concept to completion, working with talented trades, designers, and clients to create homes that stand out.

If you take pride in organized projects, accurate estimating, strong relationships, and delivering exceptional craftsmanship, this could be the role you've been looking for.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Own Projects From Vision to Completion

You'll be trusted to take ownership of high-end residential projects from the first client conversation through final walkthrough. You'll have the authority and responsibility to make decisions, solve problems, and keep projects moving forward.

Work on Projects Worth Being Proud Of

No cookie-cutter builds. You'll be involved in unique custom renovations and homes where quality matters and the finished product reflects your expertise.

Be the Person Who Brings Order to Complexity

You'll be the key person connecting clients, designers, trades, and the internal team -- creating clarity, maintaining expectations, and ensuring every detail is handled.

Be Recognized for Great Results

Your success will directly impact client satisfaction, project profitability, and company growth. When projects are delivered on time, on budget, and exceed expectations, your contribution will be recognized.

Compensation & Benefits

• $75,000-$87,000/year based on experience
• Performance bonus opportunities tied to project success and client satisfaction
• Company vehicle option for the right candidate
• $2,000 annual RRSP match
• Extended health and dental benefits
• $500 annual wellness credit
• Work with a close-knit team that values craftsmanship, integrity, and doing things the right way

What You'll Be Responsible For

You'll play a critical role in ensuring projects run smoothly from planning through completion.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing multiple high-end residential renovation projects from start to finish
• Creating accurate estimates, budgets, and project timelines
• Reviewing drawings, specifications, and scope documents
• Identifying potential challenges, risks, and opportunities before they impact the project
• Coordinating trades, suppliers, designers, and clients
• Managing project schedules, budgets, change orders, and documentation
• Leading project meetings and maintaining consistent communication
• Ensuring work meets Holleford Homes’ standards for quality, safety, and craftsmanship
• Creating a seamless experience for clients from initial planning through final delivery

What Success Looks Like

Within this role, you'll be successful by:

• Delivering projects on time and within budget
• Maintaining strong client relationships and achieving exceptional satisfaction scores
• Producing accurate estimates and controlling project costs
• Creating organized systems that keep everyone aligned
• Building trust with clients, trades, and the Holleford Homes team

You Might Be the Right Fit If

You're a builder at heart. You understand that construction is about more than materials and timelines -- it's about creating something meaningful for the people who will live there.

You are someone who:

• Has extensive experience managing residential construction or renovation projects
  
• Understands high-end finishes, quality expectations, and custom building processes
  
• Can confidently read architectural drawings and translate plans into action
  
• Has strong estimating and budgeting skills
  
• Communicates professionally with homeowners, designers, and trades
  
• Stays calm under pressure and finds solutions when challenges arise
  
• Takes ownership and follows through on commitments
  
• Believes details matter and quality should never be compromised

Qualifications

Required:

• 10+ years of residential construction or renovation experience
• Proven experience managing projects and preparing estimates
• Strong understanding of residential construction processes
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings
• Valid driver's license

Preferred:

• Experience with Buildertrend, Procore, or JobTread
• Experience using Excel and construction budgeting tools
• Knowledge of building codes, permits, and safety regulations
• WHMIS, First Aid, and Fall Protection certification (or willingness to obtain)
