About Dijeau Construction, Inc.

Dijeau Construction is a high-end residential builder serving San Francisco and the Peninsula. With a reputation built on trust, transparency, and technical excellence, we specialize in complex remodels and ground-up custom homes ranging from 5 MM to 25 MM+ dollars. Our clients, often referred through long-standing relationships and Stanford Business School networks, rely on us as early-stage collaborators, often before architects are engaged.

We offer a rare culture: deeply human, intensely professional, and grounded in craftsmanship and care. Field and office teams work shoulder-to-shoulder. Integrity is not a talking point here; it is our foundation.

The Project Manager is the operational lead for high-end residential projects  will own budget, schedule, and communication from preconstruction through closeout, working in close partnership with a Superintendent to deliver architecturally significant homes with clarity and precision.

This role is central to Dijeau’s next chapter of growth and continuity. As several long-tenured leaders approach retirement, we are looking for PMs who can uphold the firm’s standards while growing into broader operational and leadership responsibility.

• End-to-end project leadership - Projects are led from construction through closeout with clear ownership of budget, schedule, scope, and communication, including RFP support, budgeting, buyout, and contract/subcontract execution.
• Schedule as a reliable operating tool - Master schedules and look-aheads in Smartsheet provide a dependable roadmap for Superintendents, trades, and clients—integrating inspections, submittals, and long-lead items—and are proactively updated as conditions change.
• Financial clarity, labor control, and payroll accuracy - Project financials in Pro Contractor (budgets, cost codes, commitments, change orders, projections) are accurate, current, and easy to understand, enabling informed decisions and protecting margin. Timecards are reviewed and approved weekly in Dijeau’s in-house time application, coded correctly against the control estimate, and submitted on time so payroll, labor-cost tracking, and cost reporting remain reliable.
• Design coordination without surprises - RFIs, submittals, and change events are driven through Procore in a disciplined way, so design questions and product approvals are resolved before they impact schedule or budget, and contingency and fee are tightly managed.
• Aligned teams and smooth coordination - Field teams, trade partners, and design consultants are aligned and informed through structured communication; issues are surfaced early, framed with options, and resolved collaboratively rather than in crisis mode.
• Decisive, well-run meetings - Weekly OAC and internal project meetings are led by the PM with concise agendas, clear documentation, and tracked action items, resulting in real decisions, accountability, and forward momentum.
• Strong cash flow and trusted relationships - Subcontractor pay applications and client invoices are timely, accurate, and well-supported with documentation, maintaining healthy cash flow and strong relationships with both trades and owners.
• Organized, professional jobsites and accurate material flow - In partnership with the Superintendent, jobsites consistently reflect high standards of organization, safety, and professionalism. Material orders are received and checked against packing slips, Purchase Orders, and material schedules, so field teams have what they need when they need it, with minimal errors, returns, or surprises.
• Accurate, current project information - Drawing sets, logs, and project documentation are kept current and organized in Procore and related systems, ensuring the team is always working from the latest information and reducing rework.
• Clean, complete closeout and owner-ready house manuals - Closeout plans are established early and followed through, resulting in complete punchlists, warranty documentation, manuals, as-builts, and a clear, well-organized house manual for clients, including operating and maintenance information, that…
