We are high end custom home builder successfully delivering quality homes since 2016. We are looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day scheduling, trade coordination, client communication and project-management systems across our active renovations.
This is a hands-on coordination role for someone who understands residential construction, knows how trades work together and can keep a large number of projects moving at the same time.
You will work closely with two highly skilled supervisors.
The supervisors are responsible for technical quality and workmanship.
Your role is to coordinate the overall programme and make sure the right people, information and resources are in place at the right time.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the live construction schedule across multiple active projects.
- Coordinate supervisors, trades and subcontractors.
- Allocate the right people to the right jobs based on skills, availability and project requirements.
- Keep projects progressing through each stage of construction.
- Monitor upcoming work and identify delays or scheduling clashes early.
- Adjust schedules when project conditions change.
- Ensure trades receive the correct plans, information and timing.
- Maintain clear communication between the office, supervisors, trades and clients.
- Provide clients with regular progress updates.
- Follow up outstanding work and ensure tasks are completed.
- Assist with coordination of variations and changes where required.
- Help improve the systems and processes used to run the construction department.
Systems & Technology
Most importantly, we are looking for someone with proven, hands-on experience in actively using construction management software to manage projects from start to finish, rather than someone who has merely been exposed to or is familiar with such systems. The ideal candidate should be confident in using these platforms for project scheduling, cost control, purchase orders, documentation, and day-to-day construction operations.
We currently use Wunderbuild.
Experience with Buildxact, Buildertrend, NextMinute, simPRO, TeamGantt or similar systems is must.
What We Are Looking For
The successful applicant will ideally have:
- Strong experience in residential construction, renovations or a similar trade-based environment.
- A positive understanding of construction sequencing.
- Knowledge of the roles and capabilities of different trades.
- The ability to assess what a job requires and allocate the most suitable person.
- Strong scheduling and forward-planning skills.
- Excellent computer skills.
- Hands-on experience using construction or project-management software.
- Strong communication skills with clients, trades and supervisors.
- The ability to manage multiple projects at once.
- Strong follow-up and organisational skills.
- A proactive approach to solving problems.
- Confidence making day-to-day operational decisions.
- The ability to remain calm and organised when schedules change.
This role requires someone who understands the construction industry well enough to make practical decisions, not simply someone with administrative experience.
