Project Manager - Residential Construction

Pathfinder Holding Company, LLC
• Grand Rapids , MI , US Posted 2 days ago Description THE MISSION

At Pathfinder Holding
, we don’t just renovate houses; we revitalize neighborhoods. As a local franchisee of Home Vestors of America (acclaimed for "We Buy Ugly Houses"), we buy distressed properties and transform them into quality homes and premier vacation rentals. We are a "
Whatever It Takes
" team that moves fast, solves messy problems, and takes extreme ownership of our results.

We are seeking a battle-tested Construction Project Manager to serve as the Commander‑in‑Chief for our residential renovation projects. You will be responsible for simultaneously managing a pipeline of 5–10 active rehabs across West Michigan.

This is not a role for a clipboard carrier who waits for instructions. We need a resourceful leader who can build their own army of subcontractors, enforce strict quality standards, and drive projects from "Scope to Sold" without excuses
. You are a strategic, data‑driven leader who designs systems to anticipate delays, rigorously holds contractors accountable, and treats every dollar in the budget as if it were your own.

• Pipeline Command: Orchestrate 5–10 active renovation projects at once, ensuring materials, labor, and inspections align to hit completion dates.
• Contractor Sourcing & Performance Management: Systematically identify, screen, and onboard external subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, drywallers, etc.) and General Contractors. You don't just manage the crew; you build it. You will manage them using a clear, documented performance matrix which you will help develop.
• Boots‑on‑the‑Ground QC: Conduct frequent onsite inspections to ensure work is performed to Pathfinder standards and complies with Michigan Residential Code. You are the first line of defense against shoddy workmanship.
• Systematic Budget & Schedule Discipline: Implement and manage processes to ensure rigorous management of project timelines and budgets. You are responsible for ensuring projects finish on time and on budget
  . Your success is measured by data‑driven KPIs.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure all necessary permits are pulled, inspections are passed, and worksites are maintained safely.

• The Enforcer: You are comfortable having tough conversations. If a sub is late or cuts corners, you hold them accountable immediately.
• The Networker: You have (or can quickly build) a deep rolodex of reliable West Michigan tradespeople. You know who to call when a framer flakes.
• The Multi‑Tasker: You can mentally toggle between a rough‑in inspection at Property A and a finish‑carpentry issue at Property B without dropping the ball.
• The Owner: You treat our capital like your own money. You hate waste and inefficiency.

• Experience: 3+ years of Construction Project Management experience, specifically in residential rehabs, flipping, or scattered‑site development.
• Licensure:
  Michigan Residential Builder’s License is preferred. If you do not have one, you must be willing to obtain it (we will support this growth).
• Tech‑Savvy: Familiarity with construction management software (e.g., Buildertrend, CoConstruct) is preferred, but general tech proficiency (Excel, Smartphones, Tablets) is required.
• Mobility: Must have a valid Driver’s License and reliable vehicle/truck for daily travel to job sites throughout West Michigan.

$70,000 - $90,000 yearly

• Autonomy: We hire adults. You manage your schedule and your sites. As long as the projects are on time and on budget, how you get there is up to you.
• Impact: Drive through Grand Rapids and see the physical evidence of your hard work—blight turned into beauty.
• Growth: We are aggressive growers. As our portfolio expands, your opportunities for leadership and income expand with it.
• Benefits: Competitive pay, PTO, paid holidays, and insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision, & Life).
