Find & Apply For Construction Manager Jobs in Hidden Hills, California

Axiom Development Partners LLC | Hidden Hills & Malibu, CA Axiom Development Partners LLC is seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager to oversee two high-end residential projects in Hidden Hills and Malibu . Our current projects include a large-scale luxury mansion remodel and a ground-up luxury home construction project . This is a hands-on, primarily on-site position. We are looking for someone who understands luxury residential construction at a high level and can take ownership of the project from plans and bidding through scheduling, subcontractor coordination, quality control, and completion. You will work directly with the developer and ownership. We are not looking for someone who simply attends meetings, sends emails, and waits for subcontractors to tell them what is happening. We need someone who understands the plans, understands construction, controls the schedule, shops costs aggressively, manages subcontractors, identifies problems before they become expensive, and gets the project built correctly. What You'll Own On-Site Project Management You will be regularly present at the job sites and responsible for understanding exactly what is happening on the projects. You will coordinate trades, monitor progress, inspect work, resolve issues, and make sure subcontractors are performing according to the plans, specifications, schedule, and expected level of quality. Plans & Construction Documents You must be highly proficient at reading and interpreting: Architectural plans Structural plans Civil plans MEP plans Details and specifications Finish schedules Shop drawings RFIs and revisions You should be able to identify conflicts between plans and field conditions before they become costly change orders or delays. Subcontractor Bidding & Cost Control A major part of your responsibility will be sourcing and bidding subcontractors. For each major scope, we expect you to: Identify qualified subcontractors Develop clear scopes of work Obtain multiple competitive bids Compare bids line by line Identify exclusions and missing scope Negotiate pricing Verify qualifications and references Make recommendations to ownership Prevent unnecessary change orders Track committed costs against budget We don't want someone who automatically calls the same subcontractor for every project. You should know how to shop the market and get competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. Scheduling & Execution You will work closely with the developer to establish and maintain a detailed construction schedule. That means understanding sequencing, dependencies, lead times, inspections, procurement, and which trades need to be on-site and when. When the project starts falling behind, we expect you to identify why , develop a recovery plan, and execute it. The schedule needs to be a management tool, not a document that gets created once and forgotten. Subcontractor Management You will oversee subcontractors from award through completion.

You will make sure they:

Show up when scheduled Have the correct information Follow the plans Coordinate with other trades Maintain quality standards Complete punch-list items Stay within their agreed scope Meet deadlines You should be comfortable having difficult conversations when performance isn't acceptable. Quality Control These are high-end custom homes , and expectations are significantly different from standard residential construction. Details matter. You should understand high-end finishes, custom millwork, stone, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, waterproofing, exterior systems, doors and windows, specialty installations, and the coordination required between trades to achieve a luxury finished product. You should be the person who notices a problem before ownership notices it. Procurement & Long-Lead Items You will help identify and track long-lead materials and equipment so procurement does not delay construction. This includes coordinating with designers, architects, vendors and subcontractors to make sure selections, approvals, shop drawings and orders happen when required. Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone with significant experience managing high-end custom residential construction in Southern California. The ideal candidate has experience with both: Ground-up luxury residential construction and Major luxury home renovations/remodels Experience working on homes in markets such as Malibu, Hidden Hills, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Calabasas or similar luxury markets is highly desirable. You should have strong knowledge of: Luxury residential construction Construction sequencing Architectural and structural drawings MEP coordination Building codes and inspections Subcontractor management Estimating and bidding Cost control Construction scheduling RFIs and change orders Procurement and long-lead items Quality control Punch lists and project closeout The Person We Want We want someone who is extremely organized but also knows how to operate in the field. You don't manage construction exclusively from a laptop. You walk the site. You read the drawings. You check the work. You call subcontractors. You get multiple bids. You negotiate. You follow up. You document decisions. You solve problems. And when something isn't going according to plan, you don't simply report the problem to the developer. You bring solutions. This Position Is Not For You If You need someone else to interpret construction drawings for you. Your experience is primarily basic residential remodels or production homes. You are uncomfortable negotiating with subcontractors. You prefer managing projects remotely instead of being on-site. You wait until problems happen before addressing them. You consistently accept change orders without challenging the scope or pricing. You believe your responsibility ends once a subcontractor has been hired. We're looking for someone who treats schedule, cost and quality as their responsibility. What We Offer You will work directly with the developer on significant luxury residential projects with substantial responsibility and decision-making authority. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be deeply involved in the construction process rather than working inside a large organization with multiple layers of management.
