Project Manager - Construction & Property Operations

Job Description

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Construction Project Manager to take full ownership of field operations across our renovation and new construction projects. This person will be the primary point of contact for subcontractors, suppliers, and inspectors — keeping every project on schedule, on budget, and built to AWH quality standards. This position reports directly to the Owner.

This role owns everything it takes to execute the build — from framing through final walkthrough.

Key Responsibilities

New Construction

Take over project ownership after foundation/sewer stage is complete

Sequence, schedule, and manage all trades: framing, MEP, insulation, drywall, trim, finishes

Perform or coordinate material takeoffs; order and track deliveries

Conduct regular site inspections to ensure work meets AWH quality standards

Identify and resolve field issues proactively — do not wait to be asked

Maintain and update project schedule; flag delays before they happen

Manage part-time assistant / runner as needed

Renovation & Rental Properties

Participate in initial walk-through with leadership to align on scope

Translate walk-through notes into a full scope of work and schedule

Manage all subs and vendors from demo through final clean

Ensure properties are completed rent-ready or sale-ready on time

Rental Portfolio Maintenance (40+ Units)

Serve as the primary point of contact for tenant repair and maintenance requests

Respond to tenants promptly — acknowledge the request, set expectations, and follow through

Triage each request: determine whether it requires a licensed sub or can be handled in-house

Schedule and coordinate trade contractors for repairs that require licensed work

Handle minor repairs personally when a job does not warrant calling a sub — painting, patching, fixtures, hardware, basic plumbing, and similar handyman-level work

Close the loop with tenants once repairs are completed

Track open maintenance items across the portfolio to ensure nothing falls through the cracks

Property Evaluation Support

Walk potential acquisition properties with leadership or independently

Provide rehab cost estimates to support buy/no-buy decisions

Identify structural, mechanical, or code issues that affect project viability

Quality & Accountability

Hold every sub to AWH expectations — work done right, done once

Document progress with photos and written updates

Escalate decisions that require leadership input; own everything else

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of residential construction experience — new builds and renovations

General Contractor license preferred; equivalent field experience considered

Proven ability to manage multiple projects and subcontractors simultaneously

Strong understanding of all residential trades: framing, MEP, finishes

Can read plans, perform takeoffs, and estimate rehab costs accurately

Detail-oriented with a zero-rework mindset — you do it right the first time

Self-starter who identifies problems and brings solutions, not just reports

Excellent communication with subs, suppliers, and leadership

Familiarity with central Ohio subcontractor market a plus

Hands-on handyman skills — able to personally handle minor repairs without calling a sub

Strong people skills; comfortable communicating directly with tenants in a professional manner

Reliable transportation; valid driver’s license required

Comfortable using software to manage projects, schedules, maintenance requests, photos, and communication. Experience with property management or project management platforms is a plus.

This Role is Not For You If...

You prefer working from a desk all day

You need daily direction to stay productive

You avoid difficult conversations with subcontractors

You are uncomfortable being accountable for deadlines and results

Compensation & Benefits

Pay range will be between $70,000 and $85,000 per year based on experience and qualifications. Alexander Walker Homes rewards performance, reliability, and people who take ownership.
