• Oversee designer selections, finishes, and procurement to align with budget and design intent.
• Perform regular site visits to drive accountability and resolve field issues.
• Manage punch lists, warranty work, and post-close items.

• Additional Performance Bonuses tied to on-time, on-budget delivery and overall portfolio success
• Work directly with the founder and be part of shaping how the company scales
