Job description

IMAGINE...waking up every morning inspired to GROW and create EXCELLENCE because you are trusted to own your department and build something exceptional.

IMAGINE…leading a team of RELIABLE, growth-minded bad@sses who GRIND IT OUT and go for the “WOW!” in everything they do.

IMAGINE…working without drama or office politics, where you are not just encouraged—but expected—to speak up with RADICAL CANDOR and contribute to the decisions that shape the company’s future.

Stop imagining and come experience it for yourself.

As one of our team members said, "I feel like I’m working for Apple—just in real estate."

We believe in setting BIG GOALS. More importantly, we have the experience and GRIT to make them happen. We are raising the bar for our industry by becoming THE example of what a real estate and construction company can accomplish—and how it should operate in the process.

Our drive to pursue BETTER EVERY DAY comes from our Purpose to REVIVE the world #ONE home at a time and our Mission to infuse new life and value into homes that need a little—or a lot—of love.

We are looking for a passionate, experienced Director of Construction to own execution excellence across WeRevive’s entire construction pipeline—from residential flips and client renovations to future developments and increasingly technical projects.

This person will lead and develop our construction team, build a deep bench of trusted trade partners, and create the systems that allow us to scale without sacrificing profitability, speed, safety, or quality.

This is a true player-coach position: approximately 80% leadership and systems development and 20% direct project execution. You may personally lead one or two flagship or first-of-kind projects, but your primary responsibility is building a construction operation that performs at a high level without depending on you to personally solve every problem.

This is NOT your typical office job.

This is an opportunity to help build the construction engine behind an ambitious, growing real estate company. The position is primarily home and field-based, with meetings held over Zoom and occasionally at our Miramar office.

If inside you are saying “Heck Yeah!”, please continue.

You are the SUPERSTAR we are looking for if…

• You have successfully led a construction team managing a pipeline of projects—not just managed your own projects.
• You know how to drive multiple construction projects to predictable, profitable completion without allowing quality, schedules, budgets, or communication to slip.
• You understand residential construction from simple renovations through complex development, including plans, permits, inspections, sequencing, scopes, budgeting, and trade coordination.
• You naturally think two to twelve weeks ahead and identify bottlenecks, resource constraints, and expensive mistakes before they happen.
• You know how to develop project managers, foremen, contractors, vendors, and trade partners while holding them to a high standard.
• You are a systems thinker who builds repeatable processes instead of becoming the permanent solution to every recurring problem.
• You can guide owners and internal stakeholders toward smart construction decisions, then execute the approved vision.
• You understand how construction decisions affect margin, throughput, customer experience, and the overall success of the business.
• You communicate clearly, directly, and without drama. You tell the truth, solve problems quickly, and keep people aligned.
• You have extreme ownership. No excuses. No finger-pointing. You take responsibility and get things DONE.
• You have the emotional intelligence to push people toward higher standards without unnecessarily damaging trust or relationships.
• You are energized by the opportunity to build an elite construction operation alongside other high-performing A-Players.
