Residential Remodeling Field Project Manager

**Position Overview** You’ll own day-to-day field coordination, quality control, and client communication across multiple residential remodeling projects, reporting directly to the owner. Your job is to turn agreed scopes into well-coordinated, properly completed work, with reliable information at every stage. This is a hands-on field position requiring job-site visits 3–5 days per week, scheduled around critical work stages and trade handoffs, alongside accurate documentation and consistent follow-up. **Your Ownership and Authority** You’ll lead field execution: coordinating trades, verifying work, communicating with clients, and closing corrective actions. You will have authority to hold incomplete or defective work from being covered or handed off. The owner retains approval of selling prices, scope changes, subcontract awards, and additional spending. When an issue needs the owner’s decision, you’ll bring the facts, your recommendation, and the likely cost and schedule impact. We value someone who can say both “This needs correcting” and “I missed this, and here’s how I’m addressing it.” **What You’ll Own** **1. Verify stages and release ready work** * Follow company checklists at required construction stages, documenting actual field conditions. * Personally verify completion through inspections, measurements, functional checks, and photos as appropriate. Subcontractor assurances alone are insufficient. * Confirm that preceding work, materials, access, and necessary decisions are readybefore the next trade starts. * Hold incomplete or defective work, document required corrections, and verify closure before concealment or handoff. * Coordinate required inspections. Your field checks complement municipal inspections and licensed specialist sign-offs; they do not replace them. **2. Maintain workmanship standards** * Check work against agreed scopes, plans, manufacturer requirements, and Apex workmanship standards. * Catch defects early and explain correction requirements clearly and professionally. * Maintain punch lists and personally verify corrections before recommending acceptance of a stage. * Document recurring performance problems and recommend whether a subcontractor should be retained or replaced. **3. Build realistic schedules and clear commitments** * Maintain a rolling look-ahead covering at least the next two weeks, with realistic weekly subcontractor commitments and coordinated daily sequencing. * Confirm each trade’s scope, exclusions, responsibilities, and handoff requirements before work begins. * Check material availability and remove other scheduling constraints before committing crews. * Track missed commitments, identify their causes, and implement practical recovery plans. **4. Keep clients informed** * Serve as the client’s primary contact for day-to-day field updates and coordination. * Explain upcoming work, access requirements, expected disruptions, and decisions needed. * Record client requests and promptly flag potential scope, price, or schedule changes to the owner. * Obtain appropriate approval before promising additional work, pricing, or completion dates. **Field Follow-Through** **5. Solve problems and prepare alternatives** * Resolve field issues promptly within your approved scope and authority. * Track project costs against owner-approved budgets, flag actual or projected overruns early, and recommend corrective action. Obtain owner approval before committing additional spending. Escalate larger issues with supporting facts, a recommended solution, and cost and schedule implications. * When replacement subcontractors are needed, develop options and confirm availability, scope, and qualifications. * Obtain the owner’s approval before awarding replacement work or committing additional costs. **6. Keep useful, current records** * Maintain schedules, checklists, photos, punch lists, client decisions, and subcontractor commitments in company-designated records. * Provide a concise daily report: completed and verified work, open issues, next-day plans, and decisions needed from the owner. * Provide a weekly report: progress against commitments, upcoming work, quality concerns, delays, and recovery actions. * Escalate urgent safety, damage, quality, or schedule risks immediately. **7. Help keep materials moving** * Occasionally pick up and deliver materials, coordinating with subcontractors to prevent delays. * Transport only items that safely fit within the vehicle’s capacity. Arrange separate delivery for oversized or heavier loads. **What You Bring** * Demonstrated field coordination or supervisory experience in residential remodeling. Strong practical knowledge of residential remodeling construction methods, applicable California and local building codes, construction sequencing, trade interfaces, and finish quality. * Ability to read plans, scopes of work, and manufacturer installation instructions. * Meticulous checklist use and accurate record keeping. * Confidence holding subcontractors accountable calmly and respectfully. * Clear, professional communication with clients and trades. * Strong problem-solving skills and dependable follow-through across multiple active jobs. * Comfort using mobile apps, shared schedules, photographs, and digital reporting tools. **Requirements and Results** **Required Qualifications** Strong working knowledge of residential remodeling construction methods, sequencing, workmanship standards, and applicable California and local building codes is required. Conversational Spanish is required: comfortable discussing day-to-day job-site work, instructions, and corrections with Spanish-speaking crews. **Travel and Physical Requirements** * A valid driver’s license, reliable personal vehicle, and insurance appropriate for work-related travel. * Availability to travel between job sites and conduct site visits 3–5 days per week. Work-related mileage is reimbursed; reimbursement terms will be specified in the offer. * Ability to safely lift and carry materials weighing up to 50 lbs, with reasonable accommodation as applicable. **What Success Looks Like** * Critical stages are inspected before concealment or trade handoff. * Checklists reflect verified conditions, supported by evidence and closed corrective actions. * Subcontractors arrive to ready work with clearly understood scopes. * Defects are caught early, and repeat rework decreases. * Clients receive timely, consistent updates. * The owner has an accurate picture of each job without chasing information.
