Project Manager Residential Construction

THE MISSION

At Pathfinder Holding, we don’t just renovate houses; we revitalize neighborhoods. As a local franchisee of Home Vestors of America (acclaimed for "We Buy Ugly Houses"), we buy distressed properties and transform them into quality homes and premier vacation rentals. We are a "Whatever It Takes" team that moves fast, solves messy problems, and takes extreme ownership of our results.

We are seeking a battle-tested Construction Project Manager to serve as the Commander‑in‑Chief for our residential renovation projects. You will be responsible for simultaneously managing a pipeline of 5–10 active rehabs across West Michigan. This is not a role for a clipboard carrier who waits for instructions. We need a resourceful leader who can build their own army of subcontractors, enforce strict quality standards, and drive projects from "Scope to Sold" without excuses.

  Orchestrate 5–10 active renovation projects at once, ensuring materials, labor, and inspections align to hit completion dates.
• Contractor Sourcing & Performance Management:
  Systematically identify, screen, and onboard external subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, drywallers, etc.) and General Contractors. Build and manage a performance matrix.
• Boots‑on‑the‑Ground QC:
  Conduct frequent onsite inspections to ensure work is performed to Pathfinder standards and complies with Michigan Residential Code.
• Systematic Budget & Schedule Discipline:
  Implement and manage processes to ensure rigorous management of project timelines and budgets, ensuring projects finish on time and on budget; success measured by data‑driven KPIs.
• Compliance & Safety:
  Ensure all necessary permits are pulled, inspections are passed, and worksites are maintained safely.

• Experience:
  
  3+ years of Construction Project Management experience, specifically in residential rehabs, flipping, or scattered‑site development.
• Licensure:
  Michigan Residential Builder’s License preferred; if not held, willingness to obtain it.
• Tech‑Savvy:
  Proficiency with construction management software such as Buildertrend, CoConstruct, as well as general tech proficiency (Excel, smartphones, tablets).
• Mobility:
  Valid Driver’s License and reliable vehicle/truck for daily travel across West Michigan.
• Additional Attributes:
