Position Overview:

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Construction Project Manager to oversee a variety of construction projects across our mobile home communities.

This role requires hands-on experience in residential construction—whether single-family, multi-family, or manufactured housing—with a strong understanding of field operations and project execution.

Successful candidates will have proven experience sourcing and managing contractors, developing and reviewing bids, and ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to quality standards. Proficiency with project management and construction tracking software is essential. The ideal candidate will bring a balance of technical expertise, organizational discipline, and leadership, along with the ability to manage multiple projects and vendor relationships effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Oversee bidding, vendor selection, permitting, and coordination with utilities to resolve issues quickly and maintain project timelines.
• Team Leadership and Development : Recruit, train, and lead an in-house crew based in North Carolina or South Carolina. Supervise team members as they travel to various project sites to complete home setups, renovations, and other construction tasks.
• Project Oversight and Accountability : Provide strong leadership and direction to both internal teams and external vendors. Monitor project progress, enforce quality and safety standards, and hold all parties accountable for meeting deadlines and deliverables.
