Wolfe Design Build LLC is a boutique residential design-build firm specializing in high-end renovations and additions. We’re looking for a senior-level Project Manager to lead multiple projects, mentor our team, and refine our production systems as we continue to scale.
If you thrive in a well-organized environment, love the blend of leadership and hands-on project management, and value craftsmanship as much as client care, we’d love to hear from you.
As our Project Manager, you’ll oversee the day-to-day production of several high-end residential remodeling projects ranging from $250,000 to $850,000, ensuring each is delivered on time, on budget, and to Wolfe’s signature quality standards. You’ll collaborate daily with our in-house architect, designer, and project managers, serving as the key link between design and construction.
Compensation:
- Salary: $100,000 – $120,000
- Benefits: healthcare, matching 401(k), paid time off, and holiday pay.
- Collaborative, team-focused culture with long-term growth potential
Responsibilities
- Project Oversight: Manage and oversee 2–3 active residential remodeling projects (typically $250,000–$850,000) from start to finish, ensuring top-quality execution, adherence to budgets and schedules, and exceptional client satisfaction.
- Team Leadership: Manage and mentor field staff, subcontractors, and vendors, fostering a culture of efficiency, craftsmanship, and accountability across every job site.
- Scheduling & Coordination: Develop and maintain reliable three-week look-aheads; confirm subcontractor commitments one week and two days prior; coordinate trades, inspections, and logistics to keep projects running smoothly.
- Design & Production Alignment: Collaborate daily with our in-house architect, designer, and owner to align on drawings, selections, allowances, procurement, and site execution.
- Quality & Safety: Drive quality control, safety, and workflow standards across all active projects to maintain Wolfe’s reputation for exceptional work.
- Client Communication: Maintain proactive, transparent communication with homeowners — providing weekly updates, tracking decisions, and ensuring a positive experience from start to finish.
- Financial Tracking: Accurately manage job cost-to-complete reports, change orders, and support invoicing accuracy to maintain financial clarity.
- Documentation & Closeout: Maintain well-organized job binders, daily site documentation, and closeout materials; create and fulfill punch lists to ensure every project is delivered complete and correct.
- Meetings & Problem Solving: Lead production meetings, monitor schedules, and proactively resolve issues before they impact progress or client satisfaction.
- Systems & Process Improvement: Contribute to refining production systems, checklists, and dashboards that enhance consistency, efficiency, and scalability as the company grows.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of hands-on residential construction experience, ideally within design-build environments.
- Proven background as a senior project manager or production manager overseeing large-scale, high-quality remodels or new builds.
- Solid understanding of residential construction practices, scheduling, and budget management.
