  • Identify opportunities to improve workflow, efficiency, quality, and financial performance
  • Ensure the department has the staffing, subcontractors, and resources needed to support production goals
Project Management Oversight
  • Provide oversight and direction to Project Managers throughout the construction lifecycle
  • Ensure Project Managers accurately estimate, scope, schedule, and budget each project
  • Confirm that Project Managers secure signed contracts, required deposits, and customer approvals before work begins
  • Ensure permits are obtained and projects comply with applicable building codes and local requirements
  • Monitor project progress, anticipated completion dates, costs, and customer satisfaction
  • Ensure Project Managers maintain complete and accurate project documentation
  • Review escalated project concerns and guide Project Managers in developing appropriate solutions
  • Conduct project reviews, site visits, and walkthroughs as needed to evaluate progress, quality, or performance
  • Ensure completed work meets approved plans, specifications, scopes of work, and company quality standards
Subcontractor and Resource Oversight
  • Oversee the department’s subcontractor and vendor network
  • Ensure Project Managers properly identify, evaluate, and manage qualified subcontractors
  • Establish expectations for subcontractor pricing, quality, timeliness, professionalism, safety, and documentation
  • Monitor subcontractor performance and address recurring concerns
  • Support negotiations involving pricing, terms, capacity, or performance issues
  • Maintain adequate subcontractor coverage to support current and anticipated production needs
Customer Experience and Quality
  • Establish and maintain customer service expectations for the construction department

  • Demonstrated experience managing employees, department financials, subcontractor relationships, and operational performance
  • Strong understanding of estimating, scoping, supplements, change orders, contracts, permitting, scheduling, and construction project execution
  • Proven ability to lead teams, improve performance, and protect project profitability
  • Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to evaluate multiple projects and competing priorities from a departmental perspective
  • Comfortable reviewing financial reports, project performance, and departmental KPIs
