Project Manager

Do you take pride in keeping complex projects running smoothly while balancing the needs of clients, trades, and your team?

Are you ready to bring your project management skills to a company that values thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and inclusive collaboration?

Juniper Design + Build is an award-winning residential design/build company working in Portland, Maine, and its surrounding communities. We create beautiful, energy-efficient, sustainably-built custom homes and renovations.

We're hiring a Project Manager to join our team. This role offers the opportunity to lead residential construction projects from concept to completion within a collaborative, design-focused team. We offer excellent pay and benefits, including fully paid health insurance, generous paid time off, a tool allowance, and professional development support.

We do things differently
For starters, we're majority women-owned and managed. As much as we admire people with mad skills, we don't hire for skills alone. We have a diverse, respectful, and positive work culture—and a fantastic team—and we're looking for people who really understand the value of that and want to be part of it.

We're invested in helping to move the building industry to more environmentally sustainable practices. We focus on high-performance building and carbon reduction. We're all in on building science and strive to use optimal techniques and materials. We're always learning. You will be too.

What we're looking for
We're looking for a skilled Project Manager with at least 5 years of experience managing residential construction projects, ideally within a design-build environment. You bring strong organizational and communication skills, and you're confident leading multiple complex projects from preconstruction through completion. 

Proficiency in MS Excel, Word, and Project is required, and familiarity with Smartsheet and Construction Online is a plus. You're comfortable navigating project schedules, budgets, trade coordination, and client relationships with care and professionalism. A collaborative mindset and a commitment to high-quality, durable building practices is essential.

What we offer

- Salary: Starting at $40 an hour and determined by experience
- Health Insurance: 100% employer-paid
- Paid Time Off: Starting at 120 hours/year, plus 10 holidays
- Tool Allowance: $250 after 30 days, $500/year after one year
- Retirement Plan: 3% company match (SIMPLE IRA)
- Ferry & Cell Phone Stipends
- Support for professional training and development
- A values-aligned team that genuinely enjoys working together
