About the Role

Our Client is a fast-growing residential construction startup looking for highly motivated, detail-oriented Entry-Level Project Manager – Residential Construction . This role is perfect for someone early in their early career who’s ready to skip corporate red tape and take on real responsibility.

You'll manage 10–12 construction projects at a time (20 units every 6 months), using technology to streamline workflows and deliver high-volume results. If you’re competitive, coachable, and want the freedom to run your own projects, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do
  • Run residential construction projects from start to finish—permits to final approvals.

  • Keep each unit on schedule (6-month target) and within budget.

  • Coordinate with cities for Use & Occupancy approvals (triggers bonus payout).

  • Lead subcontractors, vendors, and site teams with minimal supervision.

  • Track project budgets and handle any overruns before they become issues.

  • Use Buildertrend, Slack, and email to manage communications and documentation.

  • Report progress and key updates directly to leadership.

  • Earn bonuses tied to on-time, on-budget project completion.

Compensation
  • Base Salary: $50,000 per year

  • Bonus: $5,000 per unit completed, with tiered adjustments for budget and timeline performance with a target of 20 units every 6 months. Bonus target is 200k+ in 12 month

  • Earning Potential: High performers managing projects efficiently and on schedule can significantly increase total compensation

Who We’re Looking For
  • Recent graduates with a degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field.

  • Internship or hands-on experience in trades like roofing, HVAC, plumbing, or landscaping.

  • Competitive, self-motivated, and hate to lose.

  • Organized, tech-savvy, and great at managing multiple projects.

  • Not afraid to be coached, but confident working independently.

  • Strong communication skills and the drive to "keep the main thing the main thing."

Why Join Us?
  • Real responsibility from day one —no micromanagement.

  • Tech-forward tools to help you do more, faster.

  • Performance-based rewards —earn what you deliver.

  • Fast career growth as we expand into new markets.
