A long-established California General Contractor with multiple offices statewide is hiring a Project Executive to lead major projects, mentor operational teams, and help drive the next phase of strategic growth.

With decades of success in the California market, this contractor has built a strong reputation through repeat business, relationship-led delivery, and a deliberate approach to growth. Rather than chasing volume at the expense of quality, they focus on taking on the right projects, working with the right clients, and building long-term careers for their people. They operate across commercial, education, healthcare, life sciences, multifamily, mixed-use, retail, tenant improvement, and expanding industrial markets.

This is an opportunity for a proven leader who wants executive-level influence within a business where performance is recognised and people are not treated as numbers.


Responsibilities include:

  • Providing executive oversight across multiple projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Leading Project Managers, Project Engineers, and field teams to deliver best-in-class outcomes
  • Managing financial performance including budgets, forecasting, margin protection, and risk management
  • Building and maintaining strong owner, consultant, and client relationships to generate repeat business
  • Driving schedule performance, procurement strategy, and operational efficiency across active projects
  • Supporting preconstruction teams on pursuits, budgets, and delivery strategy
  • Mentoring rising operational talent and strengthening internal leadership bench strength
  • Ensuring quality, safety, and client satisfaction standards are consistently achieved
  • Partnering with senior leadership on office growth, market expansion, and long-term planning


What we’re looking for:

  • 10 years of experience with a General Contractor in project management / operations leadership
  • Proven experience delivering commercial construction projects in California
  • Experience overseeing multiple projects and teams simultaneously
  • Strong financial acumen with ownership of project P&Ls and forecasting
  • Strong client-facing presence with the ability to win and retain business
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Stable career history with progressive responsibility
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or similar preferred


Compensation & benefits:

  • Up to $250,000 base salary (depending on experience)
  • Performance bonus structure
  • Vehicle / vehicle allowance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health benefits
  • PTO holidays
  • Long-term executive growth opportunities


Why this opportunity:

  • Join a respected California builder with an established brand and repeat client base
  • Executive-level role with genuine influence on project and business performance
  • Strong statewide pipeline across diverse sectors
  • Stable company focused on controlled, sustainable growth
  • Culture where people are valued and retained long-term
  • Opportunity to help shape future growth in expanding markets such as industrial and mission critical work
