  • Oversee project startup (permits, contracts) in line with development schedules, communicating deviations and business impacts.
  • Review budgets and estimates, provide optimization input, and assign projects to managers.
  • Manage the bidding and contracting process, ensuring scopes of work are clear and deadlines are met.
  • Adaptability and flexibility to meet changing business needs and charters.

    • Construction and Closeout

  • Ensure Project Managers deliver clean, complete communities with a predictable building permit pathway.
  • Maintain clarity and alignment when changes occur during bidding and construction.
  • Support project teams in conflict resolution and ensure job-readiness standards are met.
  • Accurately forecast schedules, manage utility installation, and ensure infrastructure is complete before home occupancy.
  • Lead challenging closeout efforts when needed and attend public meetings for final approvals.
  • Ensure legal, engineering, and internal processes are followed.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience
  • 5+ years in land development, civil infrastructure, construction project management
