Construction Manager​/Owners Rep; Affordable Housing Renovations

We’re partnered with a growing, well-capitalized real estate platform focused on the acquisition, rehabilitation, and long-term preservation of affordable housing assets across multiple markets. As the portfolio continues to scale, they are seeking a highly capable construction professional to take ownership of capital project execution across the platform.

This is an owner-side role with direct exposure to acquisitions, asset management, and investment strategy, ideal for someone who understands the complexity of affordable housing and can operate effectively across both the technical and business sides of the platform.

You will lead the full lifecycle of capital projects across an existing portfolio, from physical diligence and scope development through procurement and execution, ensuring projects are delivered in line with budget, schedule, and long-term preservation goals.

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a platform that is actively scaling its affordable housing footprint, with a strong pipeline of preservation and rehab work.

You’ll have direct visibility into how capital projects influence asset performance, resident experience, and long-term affordability outcomes, while positioning yourself for future leadership within the business.

• Ability to grow into broader business-unit leadership over a 3–5 year horizon, while remaining hands-on initially
• Ability to translate execution into fee-based revenue, budget discipline, and value creation — not just cost control
