This hybrid role combines strategic project planning with hands-on site management. You will take ownership of multiple residential projects – overseeing them from preconstruction through to completion.
A key focus of this position is detailed project planning before each build begins – preparing accurate schedules, resource plans, and risk assessments and ongoing planning during live projects to track progress, adjust priorities, and forecast needs.
This role is primarily remote and site-based, with regular communication through digital platforms and occasional in-person meetings at company offices or project locations. You will ensure the wider company has clear, real-time visibility of project status through consistent updates in Buildertrend and effective coordination between all teams.
