Description
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We are a respected high-end residential construction company serving the Philadelphia metro area, specializing in both custom new construction and luxury renovations. Our reputation is built on exceptional craftsmanship and a client experience that matches the quality of our work.
As we grow, we are looking for a proven Project Manager / Job Superintendent to join our team and take full ownership of field operations across our active project portfolio. This is not a desk job — this is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in the field, commands the respect of trade partners, and holds the bar high on quality and accountability.
If you’re the kind of person who walks a job site and immediately knows what’s right, what’s wrong, and what needs to happen next — we want to meet you.
WHAT WE OFFER
Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
Performance bonus tied to project completion, schedule, budget, and quality outcomes
A stable pipeline of high-quality residential projects
A professional, collaborative office team that supports the field
Vehicle allowance or company vehicle (to be discussed)
Paid time off
An opportunity to build a long-term career with a growing company that values craft and reputation above all
Responsibilities
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Supervise all active project sites daily, ensuring subcontractors are on task, on schedule, and meeting the company's quality standards
Lead pre-construction planning — review drawings, budgets, and schedules before mobilization and flag any concerns early
Coordinate all trades and suppliers, including proactive follow-up at 7, 3, and 1 day prior to each scheduled activity
Review and approve all subcontractor invoices and supplier POs weekly; track every cost category against the approved budget
Enforce site cleanliness, professionalism, and safety standards as non-negotiable conditions on every project
Assess and resolve field issues independently — bringing solutions, not just problems, to the office
Manage owner-requested changes in the field from documentation through change order submission and execution
Submit daily project logs with photos and weekly progress reports, and meet with the Principal twice per week to keep the office fully informed
Qualifications
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Required Qualifications
Minimum 5+ years of field supervision experience in residential construction
Proven track record on high-end custom homes or luxury renovation projects ($500K+ project values)
Deep knowledge of all residential construction trades, sequencing, and building systems
Experience reading and interpreting architectural and engineering drawings
Familiarity with Philadelphia-area building codes, permit processes, and inspection requirements
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Proficiency with project management and communication tools (Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Procore, or similar)
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required
Attributes of the Ideal Candidate
Self-directed and accountable — you solve problems, not just report them
High standards for quality — you notice details that others miss
Professional communicator with owners, designers, inspectors, and tradespeople
Organized and process-oriented — logs, reports, and deadlines are never an afterthought
Calm under pressure with the ability to make decisive calls in the field
Respected leader who earns cooperation through expertise and consistency
Please submit your resume along with a brief overview of 2–3 projects you have personally supervised, including project type, size, and your specific role. We review every application and respond to qualified candidates promptly.
Compensation
$85,000 - $115,000 yearly
