Senior Project Manager ​/ Preconstruction Manager

Build More Than Homes. Build a Legacy.

This position has a clear path toward a senior leadership role for the right individual.

For over 81 years, Trollinger Construction has built custom homes and remodeling projects throughout central North Carolina with a reputation for quality, integrity, and craftsmanship. We believe our people are our greatest asset, and we're looking for an exceptional leader to help take our company to the next level.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager / Preconstruction Manager who is equally comfortable in front of clients, reviewing construction drawings, preparing estimates, managing schedules, solving problems, and leading projects from concept through completion.

This is not a desk-only estimating position, nor is it solely a project management role. It is an opportunity to become one of the key leaders of our company.

You will oversee projects from the initial client meeting through final completion by:

• Meet with prospective clients and participate in project planning.
• Review construction drawings and specifications for accuracy and completeness.
• Prepare detailed project estimates and budgets.
• Develop scopes of work and assist in creating project specifications.
• Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier pricing.
• Identify opportunities for value engineering without sacrificing quality.
• Lead project turnover into construction.

• Manage multiple residential construction projects simultaneously.
• Maintain project schedules and coordinate subcontractors.
• Monitor budgets and control project costs.
• Prepare purchase orders and oversee procurement.
• Process change orders and communicate with clients throughout construction.
• Maintain project documentation and Buildertrend records.
• Coordinate inspections and ensure code compliance.
• Deliver projects on schedule while maintaining Trollinger Construction's high standards.

• Build strong relationships with homeowners, architects, engineers, and trade partners.
• Lead project teams with professionalism and integrity.
• Mentor field personnel and help develop future leaders.
• Continuously improve systems, processes, and communication.

The ideal candidate will have:

• 7+ years of residential construction experience
• Experience estimating custom homes or major renovations
• Experience managing residential construction projects
• Strong knowledge of residential building methods and sequencing
• Ability to read architectural and structural plans
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Strong organizational and time management abilities
• Experience with Buildertrend or similar construction management software
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office
• A commitment to craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement

• Custom home construction experience
• Strong understanding of residential building codes
• Existing relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
• Field carpentry or superintendent experience
• Experience leading multiple projects simultaneously

Salary: $85,000–$120,000 annually

• Health Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off
• Paid Holidays
• Company vehicle or vehicle allowance (based on experience)
• Professional development opportunities

We are not looking for someone who simply manages projects—we're looking for someone who wants to help build an exceptional company.

Our team is committed to:

• Integrity in every decision
• Exceptional craftsmanship
• Outstanding client experience
• Continuous improvement
• Professional growth
• Teamwork and accountability

If you're passionate about building high-quality homes, developing people, and helping shape the future of a growing construction company, we'd love to meet you.
