Qualifications

• 5+ years managing residential construction projects end to end, including work in the $1M+ range.
• Demonstrated financial ownership: you've held a budget, managed change orders, and answered for margin.
• Genuine design literacy - comfortable in a plan set and in a conversation with an architect.

• Software fluency. We run on Buildertrend, Slack, and Google Drive. Experience with Buildertrend, CoConstruct, or Procore translates fine.
• Based in or willing to relocate to the greater Chapel Hill area. The schedule is flexible; the geography isn't.

• Budget - weekly calibration on every job.
• Change orders - priced, documented, and communicated before work proceeds.
• Schedule - you build and maintain the look-ahead, sequence the trades, and coordinate with the superintendents daily.
• Escalation - most problems should end with you.
