Build outdoor spaces that families actually live in, not just look at.
If you love taking high‑end residential projects from concept to "this is our new favorite place to be,"
SG Construction is looking for a hands‑on Residential Construction Project Manager to lead custom outdoor‑living projects across the East Bay, including decks, pavilions, pergolas, cabanas, outdoor kitchens, ADUs, and full backyard remodels. You'll own projects from pre‑construction through final walkthrough, keeping jobs on schedule, on budget, and up to our high standards for craftsmanship and client care.

SG Construction is an outdoor‑living general contractor serving the East San Francisco Bay Area, with a focus on the 680 corridor from Berkeley to Walnut Creek.
