THE MISSION
At Pathfinder Holding , we don’t just renovate houses; we revitalize neighborhoods. As a local franchisee of HomeVestors of America (acclaimed for " We Buy Ugly Houses ") , we buy distressed properties and transform them into quality homes and premier vacation rentals. We are a " Whatever It Takes " team that moves fast, solves messy problems, and takes extreme ownership of our results.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a battle-tested Construction Project Manager to serve as the Commander-in-Chief for our residential renovation projects. You will be responsible for simultaneously managing a pipeline of 5–10 active rehabs across West Michigan.

- Boots-on-the-Ground QC : Conduct frequent onsite inspections to ensure work is performed to Pathfinder standards and complies with Michigan Residential Code. You are the first line of defense against shoddy workmanship.
