Bonus points for:

• Experience in a development or owner’s rep role.
• Knowledge of the Southern California market.

The work we take on across Orange County tends to come from long standing relationships and negotiated opportunities rather than chasing every job that appears. As a regional builder, our focus has always been steady project delivery and building trust with the owners and consultants we work with year after year. That approach has created a strong backlog of negotiated projects across a wide variety of sectors including multifamily, office, tilt-wall industrial, retail, medical, and other commercial developments, allowing our teams to stay focused on building well rather than constantly chasing the next project.

Equally important to us is the kind of workplace we have built over time. People here tend to stay because they enjoy the environment and the people they work alongside. The teams are collaborative, experienced leaders make time to mentor others, and there is a genuine sense of pride in the projects we deliver together. We try to maintain a culture where professionals can do meaningful work, support one another, and continue growing in their careers.

What this role will involve

• Overseeing commercial construction projects from early planning through completion

• Monitoring project financial performance including budgets and forecasting

• Working closely with Superintendents to keep field operations aligned with the plan

• Maintaining steady communication with owners, architects, and consultants

• Coordinating subcontractor procurement and scope management

• Keeping project documentation organized including RFIs, submittals, and change management

What typically leads to success in this position

• 5+ years working with a reputable commercial General Contractor

• Experience helping manage commercial construction projects

• Comfort reviewing project budgets, schedules, and contracts

• Ability to maintain productive working relationships with clients and consultants

• Construction Management, Engineering, or related degree is helpful but not required

Our projects serve the greater Orange County region, including Newport Beach, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, and Mission Viejo, and we enjoy working with professionals who live and build in these same communities.
