Assistant Construction Manager

Overview: We're looking for an Assistant Construction Manager to help build quality homes on schedule, from the first foundation pour through the day a family gets their keys. You'll work side by side with our Construction Managers in the field, keeping trades moving, catching issues early, and making sure every home meets our standards for quality, safety, and code. This is a true development role. You'll start by learning our schedules, processes, and trade partners, then take on more responsibility until you're managing homes independently. Our goal is to prepare you to step into a Construction Manager role.

What You'll Do: Keep homes on schedule by monitoring daily activity, confirming trades are onsite and completing work, flagging potential delays early, and helping hit community cycle-time goals. Manage trade partners by building strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers, setting clear daily expectations, verify scopes are complete, and follow up until corrections are done. Inspect homes at key stages (foundation, framing, mechanical rough, drywall, trim, paint, flooring, and more), build punch lists, and verify repairs before a home moves forward. Promote and enforce safety standards every day, address unsafe conditions immediately, and keep jobsites clean, organized, and accessible. Interpret plans, elevations, scopes, and buyer selections, and catch conflicts before incorrect work moves ahead. Get homes ready for municipal inspections, attend when needed, document results, and coordinate corrections so homes pass the first time. Support QA inspections, homeowner orientations, final walks, and closings, and make sure every repair is verified, not just reported. Keep accurate status on your homes, document field conditions and issues, and share updates with construction leadership, sales, purchasing, and warranty teams. Take ownership, prioritize by schedule, safety, and quality impact, seek feedback, and build toward managing multiple homes on your own.
