• Coordinate with architects, structural consultants, vendors, and clients
• Provide technical guidance and resolution on site issues
• Monitor progress, anticipate roadblocks, and enforce timely escalation and resolution
• Implement project management best practices (cost control, vendor management, reporting cadence)
• Conduct regular site inspections and quality audits
• Lead documentation and reporting for project reviews and investor/stakeholder updates
• Mentor, train, and manage a high‑performance project delivery team

Cultural Fit

• You thrive in environments where quality is non‑negotiable.
• You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty, visit sites daily, and push for the last 5% that makes all the difference.
• You believe that planning is the foundation of execution and don’t rely on firefighting.
• You care deeply about creating beautiful, enduring homes—not just delivering real estate inventory.
