High-End Residential Design-Build

A well-established high-end residential design-build firm in the Northeast is looking to add a Project Planner to its team as part of its continued long-term growth.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the planning and coordination side of construction — helping organize projects before they move into the field, managing details behind the scenes, and working closely with both clients and internal teams throughout the preconstruction process.

The company focuses on thoughtful, design-driven residential work and has built a strong reputation for quality, professionalism, and long-term client relationships.

Projects are highly customized and handled with a collaborative team approach from start to finish.

Responsibilities

• Help guide projects through preconstruction and planning phases
• Coordinate with homeowners, architects, designers, and project teams
• Assist with budgeting, estimating, scheduling, and scope development
• Review plans, specifications, and project details
• Keep projects organized and moving forward before construction begins
• Support a smooth transition from planning into construction

What They’re Looking For

• Background in residential construction, remodeling, architecture, design-build, or preconstruction
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple moving parts
• Professional presence with clients and team members
• Someone who enjoys collaboration and problem-solving
• High-end residential experience is a plus

Why It’s Worth Exploring

• Strong pipeline of high-end residential projects
• Stable, well-respected company with long-term employees and repeat clients
• Collaborative team environment with direct involvement across projects
• Mix of office, client-facing, and field involvement — not stuck behind a desk all day
• Long-term growth potential and increasing responsibility over time
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and strong long-range earning potential

If you enjoy the planning, coordination, and relationship side of residential construction, feel free to reach out confidentially.
