On-Your-Lot Custom Homebuilder | $100K–$165K Bonus

You became a builder to build — not to sit in sales meetings or push paper. This is a hands-on leadership seat where you run the construction of an entire division, and you’re measured on one thing: every home delivered on time, on budget, with a customer who’d send you their neighbor.

We are a growing on-your-lot custom homebuilder across North and South Carolina. We build homes on our customers’ own land — which means real responsibility, real ownership of your jobs, and real windshield time. We’re looking for a builder-leader to own and grow the construction of a division.

What you’ll do

Start as a working builder — in the field, hands dirty, running your own jobs from dig to final walk.

As your division grows, build and lead a small team (1–3 field/build staff) toward a run rate of 40–50 homes a year.

Own the full build: schedule, quality, cost, and the customer experience — start to finish.

Keep every home on time and on budget, and keep the customer happy the whole way through.

Train, develop, and hold your team to a clear, consistent standard. This role is NOT sales. You don’t sell. Contracts come to you ratified — your job is to build them right.

A desk job. If you want a corner office, this isn’t it.

What we’re looking for

A builder who genuinely likes being in the field — and doesn’t mind the miles. On your-lot means real driving between sites, and the right person enjoys the windshield time.

A proven track record running residential construction on time and on budget. Someone who can train and manage a team — not just run their own jobs well. Purchasing and/or estimating experience is a strong plus, but not required.

Someone who takes care of the customer, does the right thing, sets clear expectations, and delivers.

What we offer

$100,000–$165,000 base depending on experience, plus performance bonus. A real growth path — this seat has room above it as we expand into new markets. A company in serious growth mode that builds the right way, on the customer’s lot.

If you build clean, lead well, and would rather be in the truck and on the site than in a conference room — apply today.
