About the Role

We're looking for a highly experienced Senior Project Manager to join a rapidly growing residential development company in Austin. While the projects are residential, this role is best suited for someone with a strong commercial background who brings a disciplined approach to budgets, scheduling, cost control, and project management. This is a fast-paced, vertically integrated operation with its own design, development, procurement, and warehousing capabilities.

This person will take ownership of the business side of the projects, working closely with the ownership team and field operations to ensure projects stay on budget and schedule.

What You'll Do

• Manage budgets and job costs across a large portfolio of active projects
• Review committed costs, invoices, and monthly budget reconciliations
• Prepare accurate cost-to-complete and financial projections
• Establish and maintain CPM schedules across multiple projects
• Monitor project progress and provide clear visibility into budget and schedule performance
• Review and validate budgets for new projects before construction begins
• Support procurement and purchasing decisions
• Identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve project performance
• Work closely with field leadership, accounting, purchasing, design, and ownership
• Conduct job site visits and stay connected to project execution
• Help implement and improve project management systems and processes
• Build scalable processes as the company continues to grow

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of construction/project management experience
• Strong commercial, multifamily, or similar ground-up construction experience
• Strong understanding of budgets, job costing, scheduling, and financial reporting
• Experience with cost-to-complete forecasting and committed-cost tracking
• Highly analytical and detail-oriented
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make decisions quickly
• Someone who is hands-on and willing to dig into the details
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Austin-based and able to work full-time in the Austin market

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity to bring commercial construction discipline into a rapidly scaling residential development business. You'll have significant visibility with ownership, the opportunity to help shape how projects are managed, and the potential to build a project management team as the company grows.
