They foster a close-knit, highly collaborative culture where leaders remain hands‑on, approachable, and deeply invested in team success. With approximately 60 employees across two affiliated brands and a strong reputation for stability, quality, and low turnover, this organization offers a uniquely supportive environment compared to large public builders.

• Manage a variety of engineering, permitting, and survey coordination tasks across both townhouse and single-family projects.
• Review architectural and engineering plans including grading, landscape, windows, truss drawings, block plans, and strip elevations.
• Track and submit key documentation including building permits, septic permits, 3rd‑party inspections, surveys, and fee payments.
• Coordinate utilities, inspections, and construction milestones to keep projects moving efficiently toward delivery.

Profile

The Assistant Production Manager - Residential - NoVA will have:

• Experience in residential construction, production homebuilding, or project/production management.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to juggle responsibilities across multiple active communities.
• A sharp, motivated candidate eager to learn land development and grow long‑term within the organization.
• Ability to read construction plans, manage documentation, and interface effectively with engineers, architects, and subcontractors.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort working across office and field environments.
