Description

We're partnering with a highly respected luxury custom home builder that's experiencing tremendous growth, with an impressive pipeline of high-end residential projects throughout Northern and Southern California.

This isn't a role for someone who waits to be told what to do. We're looking for a true go-getter—someone with a "get it done" mentality who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership, and helps keep projects moving forward. You'll work directly on behalf of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and play a critical role in the success of multiple custom home projects.

If you're highly organized, proactive, and know your way around Procore, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Support multiple luxury custom home projects from preconstruction through completion.
• Work closely with the COO, Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, and vendors.
• Own project documentation and maintain accurate records in Procore.
• Process RFIs, submittals, change orders, meeting minutes, and project correspondence.
• Track schedules, budgets, procurement, and project milestones.
• Coordinate subcontractor communication and ensure deadlines are met.
• Identify issues before they become problems and proactively drive solutions.
• Keep projects organized, on schedule, and moving efficiently.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience as a Project Engineer in residential or commercial construction.
• Luxury or custom home experience is highly preferred.
• Procore proficiency is REQUIRED.
• Strong organizational and time management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities.
• Comfortable working directly with executive leadership.
• Professional demeanor with the confidence to communicate with clients, architects, and subcontractors.

The Ideal Candidate

You are someone who:

• Has a true "get stuff done" attitude.
• Doesn't wait for direction, you anticipate what's needed and make it happen.
• Takes ownership and follows through.
• Enjoys solving problems and finding solutions.
• Is resourceful, detail-oriented, and dependable.
• Wants to grow with a company that has years of exciting projects ahead.
