- High-End Projects: Lead a skilled team on diverse projects ranging from quick retrofits to extensive $3 million luxury residential builds.
- Community and Connection: Enjoy a workplace that values shared success and personal connection, including quarterly Friday afternoon barbecues and a team-first mindset.

The ideal candidate is a "natural general"—a leader who commands respect through action and clear communication, and who isn't afraid to jump in and assist the team with physical tasks to cross the finish line.
Responsibilities
- On-Site Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of 15, providing field oversight and ensuring work meets the company's rigorous standards.
- Project Lifecycle Management: Manage a mix of short-term retrofits and long-cycle $3M+ luxury projects, ensuring quick turnaround times for small jobs and deep relationship management for long-term builds.
- Strategic Communication: Translate sales designs into "tech language" for field staff and serve as the primary liaison for builders, architects, and high-end homeowners.
- Hands-On Support: Act as a "Field PM" by being willing to assist with physical tasks—such as hanging a TV or popping in speakers—when necessary to motivate the team or meet a deadline.
- Documentation and Accountability: Maintain meticulous project documentation, manage change orders, and proactively anticipate potential bottlenecks before they impact the schedule.
- Client De-escalation: Build rapport and trust with clients, handling any inevitable project issues with grace, kindness, and a focus on resolution.
