Job Description

Senior Project Manager – Luxury Custom Residential Construction

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Project Manager to oversee the delivery of high-end, luxury custom homes. This position is best suited for a true builder—someone who thrives in the field, understands the details of construction, and can confidently manage sophisticated clients while maintaining control of budget, schedule, and craftsmanship.

This is a hands-on leadership role, with an estimated 70% of time spent on-site and the balance focused on planning, coordination, and administrative oversight.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead luxury custom home projects from preconstruction through final turnover

  • Serve as the main liaison between homeowners, architects, designers, and internal teams

  • Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, cost controls, and change orders

  • Provide strong on-site leadership to subcontractors and suppliers

  • Ensure exceptional quality standards, safety compliance, and attention to detail

  • Anticipate challenges and resolve issues efficiently to keep projects on track

  • Cultivate and maintain long-term relationships with local trades and vendors

  • Balance field supervision with office responsibilities such as reporting, documentation, and scheduling

  • Utilize Buildertrend or comparable project management software to track progress and communication

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience building high-end or luxury custom homes

  • Polished, professional demeanor with strong client-facing communication skills

  • Demonstrated success managing budgets, costs, and schedules

  • Deep understanding of construction means, methods, and sequencing

  • Strong problem-solving abilities and sound decision-making skills

  • Established network of reliable local subcontractors and suppliers

  • Comfortable transitioning between the jobsite and office environment

  • Experience with Buildertrend or similar platforms preferred

Why Join

  • Opportunity to build distinctive, high-quality luxury residences

  • High level of ownership, autonomy, and trust

  • A role designed for builders who lead from the field—not behind a desk
