Job description

Overview

We’re a high-end residential exterior contractor specializing in roofing, siding, windows, and doors throughout Nassau, Suffolk, and Brooklyn. Our reputation is built on clean jobsites, tight scheduling, premium installation standards, and a client experience that matches the quality of our work.

We’re hiring a hands-on, field-driven Construction Project Manager who leads from the front. This is not a desk-based PM role—you will be on-site daily, directing crews, controlling the jobsite, communicating with homeowners, and driving projects to profitable, on-time completion.

Role Focus

Exterior specialization required. This role requires strong, relevant experience managing residential exterior projects, including:

• Roofing systems: shingles, flashing details, ventilation (ridge/soffit), underlayment/ice & water, leak prevention and punch-list closeout
• Siding systems: James Hardie, cedar, PVC, board & batten, trim/corner details, water management, and finish quality
• Windows & doors: installation oversight, flashing/waterproofing integration, water testing readiness, and clean interior/exterior protection

Field Expectations

• Be on-site daily to lead production, remove blockers, and keep crews/subs moving
• Control jobsite logistics: access, protection, safety, staging, debris management, and homeowner coordination
• Proactively identify issues before they become callbacks (details, transitions, water management, and finish work)

Communication Standard (Non-Negotiable)

• Provide daily homeowner communication: status, next steps, and any impacts to access, noise, or schedule
• Document updates, decisions, and changes clearly and professionally
• Protect the client experience—cleanliness, respect for property, and clear expectations are part of the job

Key Responsibilities

• Lead production in the field: manage field crews and set daily priorities; enforce quality and jobsite standards
• Scheduling & coordination: build and maintain look-ahead schedules; coordinate labor, materials, dumpsters, permits/inspections (as applicable), and access with the help of production manager
• Quality control inspections: perform staged inspections (tear-off/prep, flashing/waterproofing, install, punch list) to ensure manufacturer-level details and long-term performance
• Material ordering accuracy: verify quantities, colors, profiles, trim packages, and lead times; prevent delays and costly reorders (with support from the production team)
• Change order identification & execution: spot scope gaps/added work early; document clearly; price/coordinate approvals; execute without disrupting schedule
• Payment collection tied to milestones: confirm milestone completion, communicate with homeowners, and support timely collection per contract terms
• Job cost tracking & P&L accountability: track labor, material, and subcontract costs; protect gross margin; participate in weekly job reviews and close-out P&L for each project
• Problem resolution: handle site issues decisively—crew performance, material shortages, weather impacts, homeowner concerns, and detail corrections
• Documentation & closeout: maintain daily notes/photos, manage punch lists, and ensure the job is completed to standard before final sign-off

Success Metrics

• Project profitability (job cost control and disciplined change management)
• On-time completion and strong schedule recovery when conditions change
• Quality of installation (detail-driven work that reduces callbacks)
• Client satisfaction driven by daily updates and a professional jobsite experience
• Capacity to manage 3–5 projects simultaneously across Nassau, Suffolk, and Brooklyn

Requirements

• Field-first mindset: you prefer the jobsite to the desk and lead crews with clear direction and high standards
• Residential exterior construction experience strongly preferred (roofing, siding, windows, doors) with knowledge of flashing, waterproofing, ventilation, and water management details
• Construction background required; carpentry experience strongly preferred
• Ability to run multiple active jobs and priorities without losing control of details
• Strong client communication: professional, calm, and clear—able to set expectations and protect the customer experience
• Attention to detail and pride in clean, accurate work (scope, materials, punch lists, and closeout)
• Ownership-driven attitude: accountable for outcomes; solves problems instead of passing them along
• Comfort with estimating, schedules, contracts, subcontracts, and change order procedures
• Computer literate (Microsoft Word required; additional project tools a plus)
• Spanish-speaking preferred
• Valid driver’s license; must be able to pass a drug test
• Schedule: 6:30am–4:30pm, Monday–Saturday (occasional earlier/later as needed for the job)

Compensation & Benefits

• $1,500/week during a 30-day evaluation period
• $110,000 first year (target compensation)
• $130,000–$135,000 second year (performance-based target range)
• Company vehicle and gas card
• Paid vacation after completion of first year

Growth Opportunity

This is a key leadership seat in our production team. High performers in this role can grow into Senior Project Management, Production/Operations leadership, or a broader field operations role as we expand across Long Island and Brooklyn.
