What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager – Multifamily Construction (Carolinas Region) position at Stoa Group?
Stoa Construction is hiring a Project Manager to support large-scale, ground-up multifamily developments within our Carolinas Region. This role is based in our Charlotte Support Office and partners directly with Lead Superintendents and field teams across active projects in North Carolina and South Carolina, with continued expansion planned into additional Southeastern markets.
Our projects are $55M–$60M ground-up multifamily communities (300 units), primarily wood-frame. As a vertically integrated owner-operator, we control development, construction, and property management, giving our teams visibility into the full lifecycle of what we build.
This is not a desk-only role. Our Project Managers are hands-on leaders who travel regularly to active jobsites to support execution in the field. You will work alongside Lead Superintendents to drive schedule, budget, quality, and accountability from early site work through completion.
How This Role Fits
Each project has one dedicated Lead Superintendent focused on day-to-day field execution. The Project Manager supports that effort by owning financial oversight, subcontractor coordination, schedule management, and cross-functional alignment.
Project Managers typically support 2 active projects at a time and no more than 3, depending on phase and complexity. We believe strong results come from focus, visibility in the field, and disciplined execution.
This role is Charlotte-based with consistent travel to active project sites throughout the Carolinas Region (typically 2–3 days per week depending on project phase). As the region grows, travel may include additional Southeastern markets.
