What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pre-Construction Process Specialist position at Brandon Homes?
Brandon Homes is a legacy home builder in Middletown, OH, with over 30 years of experience creating high-quality custom homes and delivering an extraordinary home building experience. As one of the fastest-growing homebuilders in the Tri-County area, we’re committed to setting the standard for construction quality and operational excellence.

You'll also be empowered to identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and help us implement systems that enhance speed, quality, and accountability across our operations.
We’re looking for someone who is both detail-driven and systems-minded—someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to help shape how a best-in-class homebuilder operates behind the scenes.
