Real Estate Project Manager

The Production Project Manager owns the execution of multiple residential renovation projects from Day 1 of construction through completion and closeout. This role is responsible for scheduling, subcontractor management, quality control, safety, documentation, and cost control—delivering projects on time and on budget while maintaining Steadfast’s standards. This is a production role. Scopes, budgets, and purchasing are prepared by Pre‑Construction/Purchasing. The Production PM enforces scope, manages the build, and controls changes through a strict change order process.

Jobsite Execution & Scheduling

• Build and maintain a daily/weekly project schedule for each property.
• Coordinate sequencing across trades to hit 30–45 day turn targets.
• Lead weekly jobsite check‑ins (or more frequently as needed) and maintain momentum.
• Ensure job readiness for upcoming trades (access, materials staged, rough‑ins complete).

Subcontractor Management

• Manage subcontractors from start to finish.
• Confirm start dates.
• Set expectations for scope and quality.
• Communicate timelines and constraints.
• Verify progress and completion.
• Hold subs accountable to scope, quality, and cleanliness standards.
• Maintain a strong bench of reliable subs (feedback to Precon for future selection).

Quality Control & Punch Management

• Perform routine site inspections at key phases: post‑demo, rough‑in completion, pre‑drywall (if applicable), trim/finish checkpoints, pre‑list punch.
• Create and manage punch lists, track to completion, and verify fixes.
• Prevent rework through clear expectations, checklists, and early detection.

Budget Control & Change Orders

• Manage job costs against the approved line‑item budget.
• Enforce no work starts outside the scope without an approved change order.
• Identify potential budget risks early (hidden conditions, damaged systems, code issues).
• Submit change order requests with scope description, sub pricing, schedule impact, and reason code.

Communication & Reporting

• Provide concise updates on each property: schedule status, blockers, sub performance, inspection outcomes, change orders pending.
• Maintain clear documentation (photos, notes, completion confirmations).
• Participate in weekly pipeline meeting covering the 8–14 active property portfolio.

Site Standards & Compliance

• Ensure jobsite safety, cleanliness, and security (lock‑up, materials protection).
• Confirm permits/inspections are scheduled and passed where required (with support as needed).
• Verify final property readiness for listing/closing (clean, punch complete, utilities on as required).

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently manages multiple projects at once without fires.
• Hits 30–45 day completion targets on most jobs.
• Reduces rework and improves consistency of finishes.
• Runs a clean change order process (minimal “surprise” spend).
• Subs show up, schedules stick, and properties move through stages predictably.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• On‑time completion rate (30–45 day target).
• Rework rate/punch list aging.
• Budget adherence (excluding approved upgrades/owner changes).
• Change order discipline (% of COs approved before work begins).
• Sub performance scorecards (quality + reliability + communication).

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience managing residential renovations (PM, lead carpenter, or construction coordinator experience acceptable).
• Strong knowledge of residential rehab sequencing (demo → roughs → finishes).
• Ability to manage multiple active jobs simultaneously.
• Confident communication with subcontractors; can enforce standards.
• Comfortable with budgets, scopes, and basic cost tracking.
• Valid driver’s license; reliable vehicle; able to travel to job sites daily.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with house flipping/investor rehabs.
• Familiarity with tools like Job Tread, Buildertrend, Monday, or similar.
• Network of local subs in Jackson / West TN.
• Basic estimating knowledge (to spot scope gaps and prevent drift).
