If you’re someone who thrives on ownership, accountability, and building teams that deliver exceptional results—this is the role.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• You own the Construction Division – performance, people, and profitability
• Work with a company known for high-end residential work, craftsmanship, and client experience

• Direct impact on growth, margins, and long-term strategy
• Leadership that values process, accountability, and continuous improvement

• Establish a culture of accountability, energy, and performance
• Conduct regular one-on-ones, performance reviews, and development plans

Operational Excellence

• Standardize processes, build SOPs, and drive consistency across all projects
• Implement training programs and structured onboarding (“training rodeo”)
• Ensure safety, quality, and execution standards are met across all jobs
• Monitor project flow, scheduling, and execution efficiency

Client Experience & Quality

• Ensure an elite client experience from start to finish
• Drive high levels of customer satisfaction and project quality
• Maintain strong communication standards and problem resolution

Project & Process Oversight

• Oversee project handoffs, estimating accuracy, and execution standards
• Conduct bid vs. actual reviews and continuously improve performanceEnsure projects are completed on time, on budget, and at the expected level of quality

Vendor & Subcontractor Management

• Build and manage strong vendor and subcontractor relationships
• Ensure pricing, performance, and contract compliance align with company standards

What Success Looks Like

• Hitting revenue and margin targets consistently
• High-performing, accountable PM team
• Projects delivered on time, on budget, and at a high level of quality
• Strong client satisfaction and repeat business
• A scalable, process-driven construction division

What We’re Looking For

• Ability to build systems, develop people, and drive accountability
• A coach and leader who sets the tone and elevates those around them
• Detail-oriented, highly organized, and results-driven
