  • Monitor project schedules and ensure milestones are met

  • Track project costs and help maintain profitability targets

  • Work closely with ownership on project planning, execution, and reporting

  • Maintain communication with clients, vendors, inspectors, and stakeholders

  • Ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to quality standards

  • Help identify and resolve issues before they impact project timelines

What We're Looking For

  • 1–5+ years of construction, renovation, property maintenance, or project management experience

  • Experience with residential, multifamily, REO, rehab, restoration, or general contracting projects is highly preferred

  • Comfortable working both in the field and in the office

  • Ability to read construction plans, scopes of work, and project specifications

  • Strong organizational and time management skills

  • Excellent communication and follow-through

  • Ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously

  • Must be proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented

  • Valid driver's license preferred

  • Willingness to learn and grow within the organization

Software & Technical Skills

Experience with some or all of the following is preferred:

  • Microsoft Excel

  • Microsoft Outlook

  • Microsoft Word

  • Google Workspace

  • Procore

  • Buildertrend

  • JobTread

  • Monday.com

  • Asana

  • Bluebeam

  • PlanGrid

  • QuickBooks (basic project costing exposure a plus)

Why This Opportunity?

  • Direct mentorship from ownership

  • Significant opportunity for career advancement

  • Exposure to the full lifecycle of construction projects

  • Strong training and development environment

  • Stable and growing company

  • Competitive compensation

  • Excellent benefits package
