Thayer Homes is a small, family-owned residential spec home builder in Raleigh, NC.

What We’re Looking For:
- 4 years of relevant experience in residential construction, home building, or real estate development (permitting, purchasing, selections, and vendor coordination strongly preferred)
- Basic bookkeeping skills (QuickBooks or similar is a plus)
- Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently and prioritize tasks across different locations
