Director of Construction | Residential Remodeling & Additions Southeastern U.S. | Full-Time | $175K+ Total Comp

A well-established, high-end residential remodeling firm is hiring a Director of Construction to take the reins on all field operations. This is a senior leadership position focused on delivering exceptional renovations, managing a high-performing construction team, and contributing directly to the company’s continued success and growth.

If you're looking to lead whole-home remodels, custom additions, and kitchen renovations in a company that truly values quality, collaboration, and culture — this is your opportunity to step into a pivotal role with real autonomy and upside.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Direct influence on project success, profitability, and client satisfaction • Mentor and lead a skilled, motivated team in a tight-knit, values-driven environment • True ownership of the construction lifecycle — from preconstruction to punch • Be part of a growing firm known for excellence, integrity, and hands-on leadership • Enjoy a balance of strategy, execution, and people leadership

You're a Fit If You Have:

• 10+ years of experience in residential construction , including custom or luxury homes • 5+ years managing multiple job sites and leading teams in the field • Deep understanding of local codes, permitting processes, inspections, and subcontractor management • A proven track record of delivering high-quality residential projects on time and on budget • Proficiency with project management software such as Buildertrend, Procore, JobTread , etc. • A hands-on leadership style with strong communication skills and a passion for mentorship • An ability to stay calm under pressure and lead through complexity with confidence

Compensation & Benefits:

• Total Compensation: $175,000+ annually • Base Salary: $90,000–$120,000 • Performance-Based Bonuses tied to gross profit and project execution • Paid Time Off + Paid Holidays • Company Vehicle + Gas Card • Company Credit Card for job-related expenses • Strong career growth path within a growing company • Opportunity to work in a collaborative, people-first culture where your impact is seen and appreciated
