THE OPPORTUNITY

We're growing fast, from 4 renovation projects per month to 8+, and we need a sharp, cost-conscious Construction Project Manager to own every rehab from acquisition to handoff.

This is not a luxury finish role. We renovate homes to functional, market-ready condition for families buying their first home. Think used car, not new car. We need someone who knows the difference between a $350 epoxy bathtub refinish and a $5,000 replacement — and makes the right call every time[RC1] .

You’ll be in the field, managing contractors, protecting budgets, and keeping projects moving. This role requires strong judgment and the ability to make decisions in the best interest of the company, not based on contractor relationships or preferences.

• Estimate renovation costs and prepare scopes of work for each property at acquisition
• Coordinate contractors and ensure projects begin within 24–48 hours of closing
• Conduct site visits to monitor progress, quality, and timelines
• Manage contractor draw approvals and hold subs accountable to budget and schedule
• Track budgets and project performance across 5+ simultaneous active projects
• Help build and maintain a reliable, vetted contractor network in the Upstate SC market
• Implement and use field communication tools (CompanyCam currently in use)
• Hand completed properties off to our Disposition & Property Manager in market-ready condition

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• 5+ years of residential construction or renovation experience
• General Contractor License/Residential Builder/ or similar license
• Hands-on experience estimating rehabs and writing scopes of work
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong contractor management skills — you know how to get results without overpaying
• Self-starter with strong organizational and communication skills
• Located in or able to work in the Greenville / Spartanburg, SC area

Preferred:

• Project Management certification
• Experience with CompanyCam or similar field documentation tools
• Existing contractor relationships in the Upstate SC market
• Familiarity with project management software (Monday, Buildertrend, or similar)

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Base Salary: $80,000
• Performance Bonuses: $15,000–$30,000 based on project performance
• Total Compensation: $95,000–$110,000
• Health insurance premium reimbursement (up to $600–$700/month) after 90-day probationary period
• 401(k) with 3% company match after 90 days for W2 employees

OUR VALUES

We hire for values first. Here's what they mean in practice:

World Class — We hold ourselves to the highest standard in everything we do. That means double-checking your work, being honest even when it's uncomfortable, and never settling for "good enough." If a contractor gives you a $10,000 quote that doesn't pass the smell test, you push back.

Create Legacy — This work matters beyond the transaction. We're helping families become homeowners who couldn't get there any other way. The work you do today will affect those families for generations.

Put Everything You've Got Into Everything You Do — Mediocrity is the enemy here. We don't do things halfway. If you're the type to clock out mentally before the job is done, this isn't the right fit.

Create Win-Win-Win — The best outcomes work for everyone: our buyers, our investors, and our team. We don't chase a deal that only works for one side.

Help Others Fulfill Their Dreams — We succeed by removing barriers for people who've been turned down everywhere else. That mission runs through every role in this company, including this one.

Maximize Potential — We're integrating technology and AI into how we work and we need people who are open to that. You don't have to be a tech guru, but you have to be willing to learn new tools and figure things out independently.
