General Manager | Ops Manager

Build Your Future While Building Trust

At 1st Choice Builders, we deliver more than beautiful homes — we deliver peace of mind, quality, and trust. We’re scaling quickly and preparing for major growth, and we need a General Manager / Operations Manager who’s ready to step up, lead, and shape the next stage of our journey.

This role isn’t just about running operations — it’s about building a leadership career. You’ll be backed by a leadership mentor/HR consultant to help you grow as a manager, while you mentor and coach our project managers, designers, and carpenters.

Whether you’re an experienced leader in construction or an up-and-coming high-potential ready to step into your first big leadership role, this opportunity is about growing together.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee daily project operations: scheduling, quality, client satisfaction.
• Coach and mentor PMs, site leads, and designers toward SMART goal success.
• Build and roll out systems for estimating, scheduling, onboarding, and closeout.
• Take ownership of 2-week lookahead scheduling across all projects.
• Partner with ownership to free them from day-to-day coordination.
• Work directly with a leadership mentor to develop your own management skills.

What We’re Looking For

• Path 1: Experienced Leader – 7+ years in construction/remodeling leadership, proven ability to scale systems and lead teams.
• Path 2: High-Potential Up-and-Comer – 4–6 years in construction project management or site leadership, hungry for growth, ready to step into bigger shoes.
• Strong communicator, problem-solver, proactive decision-maker.
• Values-driven: Customers First, Quality with Speed, Take Control of the Outcome.

Why Join Us?

• Become the 'right-hand' leader in a growing company.
• Formal leadership mentoring provided (with HR consultant/coach).
• Competitive pay + performance incentives.
• Opportunity to shape culture and systems from the ground up.
• Work in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley community.
