About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is required.
  • A minimum of 12 to 15 years of progressive experience in residential homebuilding construction, including senior- or executive-scope work across multiple communities or markets simultaneously.
  • Advanced working knowledge of residential construction processes, phased build cycles, trade sequencing, and quality control standards used in high-volume production homebuilding.
  • Ability to read, interpret, and evaluate construction blueprints, architectural plans, engineering documents, and municipal permit packages to make field and design decisions independently.
  • Deep familiarity with local and regional building codes, zoning regulations, inspection protocols, and permitting processes across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Strong analytical and financial acumen, including the ability to manage and evaluate construction budgets, interpret cost reports, assess variance drivers, and develop data-supported recommendations for executive-level resource and scheduling decisions.
  • Professional judgment and decision-making capability, including a track record of independently resolving high-stakes construction challenges, balancing urgency with thoroughness, and escalating appropriately when divisional risk is involved.
  • Proficiency with construction management platforms, project scheduling tools, and productivity software commonly used in large-scale residential homebuilding operations.
  • Ability to operate computer equipment, speak, hear, bend, stoop, reach, lift, and move and carry up to 25 lbs; finger dexterity is necessary.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and execution of construction strategies across a designated market or portfolio of communities, aligning field operations with division-wide production goals, schedule targets, and quality benchmarks.
  • Serve as the primary construction authority and escalation point for complex field challenges, including scope deviations, trade partner performance issues, permitting obstacles, and site conditions requiring executive-level resolution.
  • Conduct field reviews and quality audits across active communities, evaluating construction-stage completion, workmanship, and compliance with build specifications and warranty requirements.
  • Own the construction budget at the market or portfolio level by monitoring cost performance against approved proformas, identifying and analyzing variances, and recommending corrective actions that preserve margins without compromising quality or regulatory compliance.
  • Drive pre-closing and closing orientation readiness by establishing quality thresholds and field accountability protocols so homes are punch-listed, inspected, and transitioned from production to homeowner service appropriately.
  • Build and maintain relationships with municipal agencies, inspection authorities, and permitting offices, navigating regulatory requirements to secure approvals, resolve compliance issues, and mitigate schedule risk.
  • Analyze construction cycle-time data, trade partner scheduling, and material delivery pipelines to identify inefficiencies and implement improvements that reduce build time and rework and increase throughput without sacrificing standards.
  • Collaborate with Land, Sales, Finance, and Customer Experience teams, providing construction input during pre-development planning, community launch preparation, and post-closing warranty resolution.

Desired Qualifications

  • An advanced degree in Business, Engineering, or a Construction-related discipline is strongly preferred.
