Senior Project Manager/ Estimator

For Top Performers Ready to Step Out of the Machine — and Help Build One

If you're currently managing or estimating drywall and acoustical ceiling projects at a large subcontractor, you already know the structure:

Layers of management. Limited influence over company direction. Minimal visibility into executive decision-making. Advancement tied more to tenure than impact.

This opportunity is different.

HDZ Builders, Inc. is a certified General Contractor in South Florida actively scaling its Division 9 operations. We are seeking a proven Drywall & ACT Project Manager / Estimator who wants more than just managing assigned projects—they want to help build and lead a growing operation.

This role is ideal for top performers from firms such as KHS&S, Lotspeich, Precision Walls, Acousti Engineering, FL Crane, West Star Interiors, Ford Drywall, and similar contractors who are ready for the next level of responsibility, influence, and career growth.

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a maintenance role. This is a growth role.

You will work directly with company leadership and play a key role in expanding Division 9 operations within a certified General Contractor positioned for rapid growth through public and private sector opportunities.

Your performance, decision-making, and leadership will have direct and visible impact on the company’s trajectory.

High performers in this role can grow into senior leadership positions as the company scales.
