From architectural inception to the final finishing touches, our reputation is built on absolute precision and seamless execution.

We are looking for a highly structured, proactive, and driven Junior Project Manager to join our team. If you are detail-oriented, eager to learn high-end custom residential construction, and want to develop your career alongside seasoned professionals, this is the place for you.

The Role

As a Junior Project Manager, you will work closely with senior leadership to support the daily execution of our custom residential projects. You will act as a vital coordinator connecting our clients, site crews, sub-trades, and the office. This is a hands-on role where you will learn our systems, manage project documentation, and help ensure our architecturally driven homes are delivered on schedule, within budget, and to our exacting quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Coordination & Support: Assist in planning, scheduling, and tracking custom home builds from groundbreaking to handover, ensuring milestones are met and site workflows remain efficient.
• Software & Tech Management: Utilize our construction management software daily as the primary tool for scheduling, tracking budgets, daily job logging, updating purchase orders, and team communication.

• Financial Administration: Support project cost control by tracking budgets, reviewing material layouts to minimize waste, and processing purchase orders accurately.

• Client & Stakeholder Communication: Assist in providing transparent updates to clients and stakeholders, maintaining professionalism and clear communication at all times.
