Senior Project Manager – High-End Luxury Custom Homes

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the construction of high-end luxury custom homes. This role is ideal for a hands-on builder who understands the field, works well with discerning clients, and knows how to control cost, quality, and schedule.

This is not a desk-only position. The role is expected to be approximately 70% field-based, with the remainder focused on planning, coordination, and reporting.

Responsibilities

  • Manage luxury custom home projects from preconstruction through closeout

  • Act as the primary point of contact for homeowners, architects, and designers

  • Oversee schedules, budgets, cost tracking, and change orders

  • Lead subcontractors and vendors with a strong on-site presence

  • Maintain quality control, safety standards, and attention to detail

  • Proactively solve problems and keep projects moving forward

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with local trades and suppliers

  • Balance field leadership with office responsibilities such as documentation and scheduling

  • Use Buildertrend or similar software to manage projects and communication

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in high-end / luxury custom home construction

  • Strong client-facing skills; calm, professional, and level-headed

  • Proven cost management and budgeting experience

  • Hands-on builder who understands construction means and methods

  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills

  • Established relationships with local subcontractors and vendors

  • Comfortable working in both the field and office environment

  • Buildertrend experience is a plus

Why This Role

  • Work on high-quality, custom luxury homes

  • High level of autonomy and responsibility

  • Built for a true builder, not a paper PM
