  • Control the quality of work to satisfy plans, homeowners' specifications, building code, and internal standards, driving corrective work

  • Communicate with homeowners throughout the project, providing updates, managing expectations, and documenting commitments and changes

  • Take ownership of scope changes, obtaining pricing, securing approvals, coordinating subcontractors, and communicating schedule impacts

  • Document schedules, logs, plans, selections, change orders, inspection results, and key communications in our project management system (Buildertrend)

  • Close projects through oversight of final inspections, internal quality controls, documentation, homeowner orientation, and warranty handoff

What You'll Get:

  • Belonging to a creative, passionate team that learns together

  • Working in an environment where we collaborate and you feel like family

  • Competitive salary

  • PTO plan & paid holidays

  • Health insurance coverage
