Job Description

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

What You'll Be Doing:

Oversee all active projects whole-home remodels, kitchen transformations, and custom additions

Ensure adherence to quality standards, timelines, budgets, and gross profit targets

Lead, mentor, and evaluate Project Managers, field supervisors, and support staff

Review scopes, estimates, and contracts to set each job up for success

Conduct routine job site visits to ensure accountability and craftsmanship

Manage permitting, inspections, materials procurement, and subcontractor coordination

Lead punch list and closeout process with the support of the internal team

Work closely with executive leadership to implement process improvements and strategic goals

Monitor financials (WIP, EVA, GP) and drive profitability across all jobs

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

Confidential Opportunity:

This search is being conducted confidentially on behalf of a well-respected residential builder known for their craftsmanship and strong values. Specific company details will only be shared with qualified and shortlisted candidates.
