We are partnering with a well-established residential construction firm specializing in custom remodeling and select new-build projects. They value professionalism, craftsmanship, and a high-touch, personalized experience.

Overview

We are actively hiring for both a Project Manager and a Junior Project Manager to join our production team.

As a Project Manager, you lead day-to-day project management across a broad range of projects. You own scope, budget, schedule, and the client's experience on every job you run, and you bring strong management, organizational, and relationship skills to deliver a second-to-none experience for our clients, trade partners, vendors, and team.

What you will do

• Lead projects from preconstruction handoff through final closeout, taking full ownership of project success, scope, budget, and schedule.

• Serve as the client's primary point of contact, keeping homeowners informed daily through BuilderTrend and delivering weekly updates on progress, budget, and upcoming decisions.

• Collaborate with estimators and design teams to confirm job scopes, plans, specifications, and material selections prior to work starting.

• Develop, distribute, and help standardize Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and subcontractor bids.

• Hold each job strictly to its budget, tracking budget-to-actual costs throughout the project lifecycle.

• Document and obtain written approval for every change order before work proceeds.

• Build, maintain, and update project schedules continuously, planning ahead and resolving field challenges proactively.

• Source, evaluate, and manage trade partners, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure clean sequencing and on-time material delivery.

• Perform regular jobsite walkthroughs to inspect quality, safety, cleanliness, site readiness, and regulatory compliance.

• Schedule and attend required municipal inspections to secure all necessary approvals.

• Execute strong project closeouts, ensuring all punch list items are complete within 30 days of substantial completion and job files are fully audited.

• Participate in weekly production team rhythms, meetings, and one-on-ones, sharing constructive experience across the team to help maintain and improve company construction standards.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Minimum 2+ years managing high-end custom residential or light commercial construction projects as a Project Manager or Superintendent.

• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of construction best practices, local building code requirements, and confidence reading blueprints, plans, and specifications.

• Budget & Financial Acumen: Proven ability to manage job budgets, track costs, and control variance throughout the project lifecycle.

• Software Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and construction management software (BuilderTrend experience strongly preferred).

• Communication & Relationships: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills—including daily email updates to management and homeowners on status, costs, and issues—paired with strong networking abilities with clients, trade partners, and vendors.

• Leadership & Execution: High level of organization, self-discipline, conflict management, negotiation skills, and follow-through across multiple active job sites.

• Site Mobility: A valid driver's license and the ability to travel regularly to jobsites across the Middle Tennessee area.
