What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager position at Big League Talent Connection?
Project Manager – High-End Custom Homes Roaring Fork Valley / Aspen, CO About the Opportunity An employee-owned Colorado general contractor is adding project management capacity in the Roaring Fork Valley as several high-end residential projects move into preconstruction and construction. The work sits at the top of the mountain custom market: homes typically in the 10,000–20,000 SF range, budgets between $20M and $50M, and owners frequently represented by national owners' representatives. The company builds custom homes and commercial projects across Colorado's mountain communities, and it carries real infrastructure behind its project teams — dedicated preconstruction, VDC and modeling, quality control, safety, and in-house excavation, with project coordination and project engineer support depending on the job. For a Project Manager, that difference is practical: you lead the project instead of rebuilding the platform around it. The hiring is deliberate rather than opportunistic. The company is explicit that it does not grow for growth's sake — it is adding people because a concentrated wave of work requires it, and it builds roles around the right individuals. There is also flexibility on timing: someone strong who is available now can join an active project first, learn the company's systems, and be ready when their project starts. The Role You will own a single, sophisticated mountain residence from preconstruction through closeout — budget, buyout, schedule, design coordination and the client relationship — reporting directly to the executive who leads the custom homes group. This is a builder-led project quarterback role. It is not a document-routing job, and it is not an RFI factory. When the drawings don't fully resolve a condition, the expectation is that you work the problem with the design team and the trades rather than sending it back and waiting. What You'll Get to Accomplish Take a $20M–$50M custom residence from preconstruction through turnover, with accountability for the outcome rather than a slice of it. Own the commercial performance of the project: budget, subcontractor buyout, cost-to-complete discipline, schedule and risk. Drive coordination among the owner, architect, designers, engineers and trade partners so decisions get made and the work keeps moving. Lead the preconstruction-to-construction handoff, using constructability thinking to remove problems before they reach the field. Serve as the responsive point of contact for sophisticated clients and national owners' reps — making complicated issues legible and staying transparent about cost, schedule and decisions. Work as one operating unit with your Superintendent, supported by preconstruction, VDC, QC and safety resources. Manage pay applications, submittals and shop drawings with preconstruction and VDC support behind you. What You'll Bring Credible leadership on complex, high-end residential projects, with direct accountability for delivery. Ground-up is preferred; renovation experience is accepted where the complexity is comparable. Experience at or near this scale is strongly preferred — the ability to speak to a full project story with budget, team, exact responsibility and result. Command of preconstruction, estimating and budget control, buyout, scheduling, and field-office coordination. The judgment to make decisions with incomplete information and the instinct to solve alongside the design team and trades. Steadiness with demanding clients: proactive, low-ego, organized, direct, and transparent when the news is difficult. A track record of building durable teams and relationships. This company is looking for someone who intends to stay and build a career here. A high-end renovation background, or a combined GC / CM / owner's-rep background, can transfer where genuine building knowledge is evident. Why This Opportunity Stands Out The work. Custom mountain residences at $20M–$50M with difficult sites, refined architectural detail and complex systems. There is a limited amount of work at this level anywhere, and less of it in the Roaring Fork Valley. Employee ownership. You share in the outcome of the business you're helping deliver, and ownership is positioned internally as accountability for what the company commits to. Support that lets you lead. Preconstruction, VDC, QC and safety are dedicated functions, not something the PM invents on nights and weekends. Access. You report directly to the leader of the custom homes group, with a short path between your project and the decision-maker. Advancement built around people. The company creates roles around the right people rather than fitting people into fixed boxes. Where you live. Mountain-community offices, flexible schedules, and a valley people choose for reasons that have nothing to do with the commute. Compensation & Benefits Base salary: $140,000–$160,000 , with senior-level compensation toward the high $100Ks depending on level and experience. Bonus: Annual company-performance bonus — company-wide rather than project-based — typically 8%–10% of salary, varying by year and tenure. Health: Employee medical and dental paid at 100%; spouse and family covered at 70%. PTO plus paid volunteer time. Company vehicle with fuel card, or an allowance, depending on role and preference. Discounted employee housing options. Dependent scholarships. Flexible schedules and company outdoor and community activities. Candidates must have led complex, high-end custom residential projects with direct delivery accountability to be considered.
