Job description

This is not a typical project management role.

At Future Remodeling, Project Leaders do not just coordinate jobs, they own the outcome.

Every project you lead reflects the company's standards, the homeowner's experience, the crew's performance, and the company's profitability. You are accountable for service, speed, quality, and financial outcome.

This role is not for someone looking for a purely administrative seat, limited field responsibility, or low-accountability work.

It is for someone motivated by ownership, field leadership, problem-solving, pride in execution, and growth with a scaling company.

WHO THRIVES HERE

Project Leaders who thrive here:

• take responsibility instead of making excuses
• communicate clearly and directly
• catch details others miss
• follow through consistently
• support crews and teammates
• look for ways to improve, not just complete tasks
• want to grow into bigger leadership opportunities over time

If you are not naturally wired for ownership, accountability, and high standards, this role will not be the right fit.

We are building a team of people who lead by example, care deeply about quality and customer experience, and want to grow with the company.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• on budget
• to company standards
• with a controlled, professional customer experience

You are accountable for three core outcomes on every job: Service — customer experience, communication, and installation quality Speed — cycle time from sale to start to completion to final payment Profitability — cost awareness, margin protection, and early escalation of risk

High performers who prove themselves early will have opportunities to grow into senior leadership roles as the company scales.

ROLE PURPOSE & ACCOUNTABILITY

The Project Leader owns all job-level outcomes and ensures each project is delivered according to the signed agreement, approved scope, company standards, manufacturer requirements, and applicable codes.

Success in this role is measured by:

• Maintain accurate CRM records, photos, and notes
