We have an excellent opportunity for an Director of Construction to lead and support our Project Management team, ensuring projects are executed seamlessly and proactively.

The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience working for a general contractor, overseeing full projects from start to finish. This experience is critical to understanding our clients' expectations, as most of our work is done under contract with General Contractors.

• Oversee the coordination between subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, HVAC, framers, etc.) to ensure all trades align and projects run smoothly.
• Establish and enforce best practices for project execution, ensuring timely, profitable, and high-quality delivery.
• Proactively identify and address potential issues before they impact the timeline, budget, or client satisfaction.
• Monitor and enhance team performance, ensuring PMs are consistently meeting and exceeding project goals.
• Recruit, train, and develop Project Managers, expanding the team as the company grows.
• Ensure our PMs are always one step ahead with the proper tools, processes, and support.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience working as a general contractor, managing large-scale construction projects and overseeing coordination with subcontractors.
• Proven experience managing complex, multifaceted projects in a leadership capacity.
• Expertise in process improvement, team development, and operational efficiency.
• Ability to anticipate issues and implement proactive strategies for resolution.
• Proficiency in Procore, Outlook, AutoQuotes, and drawing review.

• Spring Valley, NY with occasional travel to jobs across the United States
• Competitive salary based on experience
• 401(k) with matching
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid time off

This is a unique opportunity to lead, develop, and elevate a team that supports seamless project execution. If you're a proactive, solutions-driven leader with a strong general contractor background and a focus on team success, we encourage you to apply.
