Position Overview

GTG Custom Home Builders is seeking a Construction Manager who thrives on bringing structure, clarity, and leadership to complex custom home projects.

This is not a traditional Project Manager or field Superintendent role.

You will serve as the operational leader across multiple builds, owning schedules, supporting and elevating Site Managers, and ensuring projects run proactively instead of reactively. If you're someone who sees problems before they happen, builds systems that others follow, and leads teams to perform at a higher level, this is the role for you.What You'll Own

Project Planning & Scheduling

Own and manage construction schedules across multiple custom home projects (typically 4-6 at a time)

Ensure alignment between trade sequencing, material availability, and project timelines

Proactively identify risks to schedule and resolve issues before they impact progress

Leadership & Team Performance

Lead, coach, and hold Site Managers accountable to expectations and performance standards

Provide clarity, direction, and support to ensure consistent execution across all projects

Elevate the performance of the field team through structure, communication, and follow-through

Pre-Construction & Execution Readiness

Review scopes of work and project details to ensure readiness before trades mobilize

Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or missing information early-and resolve them proactively

Drive a "no surprises" approach to project execution

Operational Excellence & Systems

Ensure consistent and effective use of JobTread across all active projects

Reinforce process adherence, documentation, and task completion (including MITs)

Bring organization and accountability to day-to-day operations

Client Communication

Deliver clear, timely, and professional communication that builds confidence and trust

Project Support & Continuous Improvement

Oversee project closeout processes and ensure completion documentation is accurate and timely

Collaborate with trade partners to improve performance, quality, and reliability

Assist in evaluating and onboarding new trade partners as needed

Projects consistently stay on schedule with minimal disruptions

Site Managers are aligned, accountable, and performing at a high level

Clients feel informed, confident, and supported throughout the build

Problems are identified early and resolved before impacting timelines

Clear, organized systems drive consistency across all projects What You Bring

5+ years of experience in residential construction management (custom homes preferred)

Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing control of details

Experience leading or mentoring field teams (Site Managers, Superintendents, or similar roles)

Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset

Comfort working with construction management software (JobTread is strongly preferred)

Clear, professional communication skills with both clients and internal teamsWhy GTG Custom Home Builders

High-end custom home projects with a strong reputation for quality and client experience

A leadership team committed to improving systems, structure, and team performance
