This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, proactive, hands-on when needed, and able to keep projects moving without constant direction. The right person will manage subcontractors, monitor materials, maintain safe and orderly jobsites, anticipate problems before they happen, and help deliver the level of quality JTS clients expect.

• Identify upcoming material needs and communicate them in advance
• Coordinate or arrange the purchase of materials (company-provided purchasing process)
• Be present during inspections and remain involved until final approval/seal is obtained
• Apply for permits and help keep municipal approvals moving
• Send regular jobsite photos, updates, and issue reports
• Inspect completed work throughout the process, not just at the end
• Enforce jobsite standards around safety, professionalism, and conduct
• Step in hands-on to solve urgent field issues when necessary

Qualifications:

• Project management experience in residential construction
• Experience with new construction strongly preferred
• Ability to manage subcontractors and hold teams accountable
• Strong organization and planning skills with the ability to think ahead
• Hands-on field knowledge and willingness to jump in when needed
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

• Able to communicate professionally with ownership, clients, and crews
• Spanish language skills are a plus for communicating with crews
• Maintain a safe, professional, and substance-free work environment during working hours
• This is a full-time role requiring consistent availability during standard working hours

Pay and Benefits:

• Full-Time, W-2 employment
• Pay range: $90,000 to $110,000 per year, depending on experience
• Potential performance bonus after successful project completion
• Workers' compensation coverage
• Opportunity to grow with a small but expanding company
