• Comfortable working directly with homeowners, architects, designers, and vendors.
• Technologically capable and comfortable with project management software.
• Hands‑on and willing to be in the field daily.
• Coachable, accountable, and able to adapt to established company processes.
• Willing to travel between North and West/Southwest Houston job sites.
• Willing to take ownership of both the major construction responsibilities and the smaller day‑to‑day details required to deliver an exceptional finished product.
• Gas and cell phone allowance
• 401(k)
• Health insurance
• Family‑oriented culture with an emphasis on work‑life balance
• Opportunity to build some of Houston's most distinctive luxury homes
