  • Site & Trade Coordination: Leading a diverse team of highly skilled sub-contractors and artisans to ensure our "quality-first" standard is met every day.
  • Financial & Timeline Control: Rigorous management of budgets and schedules, ensuring projects stay on track without compromising the design intent.
  • Stakeholder Liaison: Acting as the primary point of contact for high-net-worth clients, architects, and engineers. Youll translate complex technical challenges into clear, professional updates.
  • Problem Solving: Proactively identifying site bottlenecks and implementing solutions that keep the momentum moving forward.

Who You Are

  • Experienced: You have 5–7+ years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, with a proven track record in the luxury residential sector.
  • Technical: You have a deep understanding of residential building methods and the nuances of high-end finishes.

  • Agile Team Environment: Join a small, capable, and highly efficient team where your expertise is respected and your impact is immediate.
  • Solid Infrastructure: Benefit from established operational systems that allow you to focus on delivery rather than administrative hurdles.
  • Career Growth: As an established and expanding business, we offer a stable platform with genuine opportunities for professional advancement.
