Job description

Job details:

Run diverse, high-impact projects across Michigan with a financially stable GC that has a strong backlog and long-term client relationships.

Salary: $90,000 - $130,000 per year

A bit about us:

We are a well-established Michigan-based general contractor with decades of experience delivering complex projects across multiple sectors, including industrial, multi-unit residential, healthcare, office, retail, and restaurant construction. The company is known for its design-build and construction management expertise, as well as its ability to self-perform key scopes like steel erection, giving teams more control in the field.

With a long-standing presence in the Midwest and a growing footprint across the state, the firm has built a reputation for quality, collaboration, and executing projects ranging from renovations to large-scale ground-up developments.

Why join us?

• Diverse project portfolio across industrial, multifamily, healthcare, commercial, and retail work (not stuck in one niche)
• Strong backlog with consistent work throughout West, Central, and Southeast Michigan
• Ability to work on both ground-up and renovation projects across multiple markets
• In-house capabilities (design-build, self-perform steel) allow for better field execution and fewer delays
• Established company with long-term stability and repeat clients — not a “feast or famine” builder
• Opportunity to take ownership of projects and work directly with decision‑makers
• Growth potential as the company continues expanding across Michigan
