Design Build Operations Manager | High-End Residential Landscape $130,000-$180,000/year DOE

• Full-time

• Onsite in Napa, CA A respected high-end residential landscape design-build company in Napa is hiring a Design Build Operations Manager to own its Design and Build department end to end. The design work is strong and demand is steady. What we need now is one leader who owns the handoff from signed design to finished install, so every job runs clean, stays in scope, and finishes on budget. You turn design work into signed, profitable construction, and you sit on the company's four-person leadership team. You lead an Install Project Manager and a Designer, with room to add more as the department grows. The Project Manager owns schedule and execution. You hold the scoreboard. You are in the field enough to set the standard for workmanship, and in the office enough to hold the numbers. What you'll own Scope control: crews build only what is in scope, work from current plans on a tablet or phone, and log extras as change orders instead of unpaid work.

The numbers:

keep estimated versus actual within 5%, finish projects over $20k under budget, and hit the annual gross margin target.

Spending:

approve estimates and purchases within your authority, negotiate vendor pricing, and protect margin before budgets reach the client.

Sales support:

join initial client calls, work the budget with the Designer, and price referral and past-client jobs that need a number, not a full design.

One live plan set:

keep Designer, PM, drafter, superintendent, and foreman on the same drawing, and hold install work to written standards.

A healthy department:

convert design to construction above 90%, hold retention at 85% or better, and move crew members into lead roles. What you'll bring 5+ years in landscape design and construction, including project management and leading people. Comfort explaining product, process, and price to high-end residential clients. Discipline on estimated versus actual, budgets, and change orders. Working knowledge of plants, landscape construction, and irrigation. Fluency in landscape business software such as Aspire. A valid driver's license. Bilingual preferred. A degree in landscape architecture, construction management, civil engineering, or a related field is helpful, not required. Compensation and benefits $130,000 to $180,000 per year, depending on experience. Full-time, onsite in Napa, California, with a benefits package.

Pay:

$130,000.00 - $180,000.00 per year
