The Opportunity

As a Construction Project Manager, you will own high-end custom residential projects from initial planning through completion. You will be a key member of a small, passionate team where your ideas, judgment, and relationships will directly shape how projects are delivered and how the company grows.

This is a true growth opportunity for someone who loves architecture and design, thrives in a hands-on project leadership role, and wants to balance serious responsibility with a sustainable work-life rhythm.

What You'll Do

• Lead high-end custom residential projects from pre-construction through closeout, delivering on time, on budget, and to the design intent.
• Develop and manage detailed project budgets, schedules, and work plans, proactively identifying risks and adjustments needed to keep projects on track.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout the project.
• Review drawings, specifications, and contracts to confirm constructability and compliance with building codes, regulations, and safety standards.

• Clients, architects, and designers describe you as a trusted partner who communicates clearly, solves problems quickly, and protects both the design intent and the project budget.
• Project documentation, including contracts, change orders, and reports, is accurate, current, and organized, enabling smooth handoffs, billing, and project closeout.
• You proactively identify constructability issues and risks early, propose practical solutions, and help the team continuously improve processes, quality, and collaboration.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience managing high-end custom residential construction projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, with strong knowledge of residential building techniques, materials, and methods.
• Existing relationships with Bay Area architects or a proven track record of building strong, collaborative partnerships with architecture and interior design teams.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills, with the ability to coordinate architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors in a clear, respectful way.
• Proficiency with project management tools, including Microsoft Office Suite and Procore, and the ability to analyze budgets, schedules, and project data to drive decisions.

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary: $110,000-$180,000 per year, depending on experience.
• Health care coverage.
• Full-time position with retirement plan and employer matching.
• Paid time off, including 10 paid holidays per year.
