Project Manager, Operations Manager

Dayspring Construction is expanding its General Contracting capabilities through strategic development partnerships. This Project Manager role is the first dedicated hire for our GC division and will serve as the operational backbone for multi‑family residential and mixed‑use development projects currently in our pipeline, including the Tadpole II project in Cle Elum and an upcoming Enumclaw development.

The Project Manager will own day‑to‑day construction management from pre‑construction through closeout, working closely with our development partners, subcontractors, vendors, and internal leadership. This role bridges Dayspring’s deep framing and self‑perform expertise with the broader GC scope required by our partnership projects, and is critical to relieving the administrative burden currently absorbed by existing operations staff.

This position is being created in direct response to the growth trajectory of Dayspring’s development partnerships.
