Residential Construction Project Manager

This role is central to the firm's success. You will manage complex residential projects from pre-construction handoff through close-out, acting as the primary steward of schedule, budget, quality, accountability and client experience.

This Role is primarily a Project Management position however, it's important for this position to have the ability to Construction Manage as well, due to the nature of a small specialized company.

THE OPPORTUNITY
