About the company
Our client is an owner-led Charleston general contractor. Its work spans ground-up commercial construction, detailed renovations, community spaces and projects involving historic buildings. The team values lasting client and trade relationships, careful planning and a high standard of execution.
Working directly with the founders and a close-knit team offers the opportunity to have a visible effect on how projects are delivered.
The opportunity

- Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, reports and closeout documentation.
- Help improve the processes and relationships that support consistent delivery.
What matters
- Experience managing construction projects from planning through delivery, ideally for a general contractor.
- Comfort working across office and field, with sound judgment and clear communication.
- Strong organization and attention to cost, schedule, quality and detail.
- An interest in historic buildings and complex renovations, alongside the ability to lead general commercial work.
