We are based in Dennis and work throughout Cape Cod. Our projects require careful planning, strong field leadership, disciplined financial management, excellent subcontractor relationships, and clear communication with homeowners. As our company continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Residential Construction Project Manager who understands both the construction side of the business and the financial responsibility that comes with managing residential projects. This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for an experienced construction professional who can take ownership of projects, anticipate problems, manage people and schedules, and understand how day-to-day project decisions affect cost, profitability, and the homeowner experience. The Position The Project Manager will have responsibility for multiple residential construction projects from preconstruction handoff through final completion and closeout. The right person will be equally comfortable walking a job site, reviewing architectural plans, meeting with a homeowner, coordinating subcontractors, reviewing project costs, and identifying potential budget or schedule problems before they become larger issues. Our Project Managers are expected to own their projects. Key Responsibilities Manage custom residential construction projects from preconstruction handoff through completion and closeout. Develop, maintain, and actively manage construction schedules. Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, employees, inspections, deliveries, and project sequencing.

Make sure each trade is ready for the next trade and prevent avoidable project delays. Review architectural and structural plans and understand the complete project scope. Conduct regular site visits and document progress. Maintain strong communication with homeowners throughout construction. Coordinate with architects, designers, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and company leadership. Review subcontractor proposals and confirm that scopes are complete and consistent with project requirements. Track project budgets, committed costs, invoices, allowances, change orders, and projected final costs. Identify budget variances and cost overruns early. Understand project gross profit and the financial impact of purchasing, scheduling, labor, subcontractor, and change-order decisions. Review and approve project-related invoices for accuracy and proper job allocation. Assist with change-order pricing and make sure additional work is properly documented before proceeding whenever possible. Monitor material purchasing, deliveries, excess materials, returns, credits, and transfers between projects. Maintain project documentation, photographs, notes, schedules, and client communications. Develop and manage punch lists. Drive projects through final inspection, homeowner turnover, and financial closeout. Maintain professional relationships with Cape Cod subcontractors and vendors. Represent Custom Crafted Homes professionally with clients, trade partners, building officials, neighbors, and the community. Financial Responsibility This position requires more than construction knowledge. The successful candidate must be financially savvy and comfortable reviewing and managing: Project budgets Original estimates Purchase commitments Subcontractor contracts Job costing Labor costs Material costs Allowances Change orders Cost-to-complete projections Budget-versus-actual reporting Project profitability and gross margin We are looking for someone who understands that running a successful construction project means protecting quality, schedule, customer satisfaction, and financial performance at the same time. Required Qualifications A bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university is required. At least 5 years of professional residential construction experience is required. Significant experience managing residential construction projects. Strong knowledge of residential construction methods, materials, sequencing, and building practices. Experience with custom homes, additions, major renovations, or high-end residential remodeling strongly preferred.
