Job Description

We're partnering with a highly respected luxury custom home builder that's experiencing tremendous growth, with an impressive pipeline of high-end residential projects throughout Northern and Southern California.

This isn't a role for someone who waits to be told what to do. We're looking for a true go-getter—someone with a "get it done" mentality who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership, and helps keep projects moving forward. You'll work directly on behalf of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and play a critical role in the success of multiple custom home projects.

If you're highly organized, proactive, and know your way around Procore, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Support multiple luxury custom home projects from preconstruction through completion.
Work closely with the COO, Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, and vendors.
Own project documentation and maintain accurate records in Procore.
Process RFIs, submittals, change orders, meeting minutes, and project correspondence.
Track schedules, budgets, procurement, and project milestones.
Coordinate subcontractor communication and ensure deadlines are met.
Identify issues before they become problems and proactively drive solutions.
Keep projects organized, on schedule, and moving efficiently.

Requirements

2+ years of experience as a Project Engineer in residential or commercial construction.
Luxury or custom home experience is highly preferred.
Procore proficiency is REQUIRED.
Strong organizational and time management skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication.
Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities.
Comfortable working directly with executive leadership.
Professional demeanor with the confidence to communicate with clients, architects, and subcontractors.

The Ideal Candidate

You are someone who:

Has a true "get stuff done" attitude.
Doesn't wait for direction, you anticipate what's needed and make it happen.
Takes ownership and follows through.
Enjoys solving problems and finding solutions.
Is resourceful, detail-oriented, and dependable.
Wants to grow with a company that has years of exciting projects ahead.
