Project Manager, Construction Manager​/ Foreman, Procurement ​/ Purchasing

A growing luxury custom home builder and artisan millwork company serving Southwest Michigan's Lake Michigan corridor, is seeking a Field Project Manager to join their team. This is an onsite, field-driven role for an experienced residential construction professional who can combine Superintendent-level jobsite leadership with the organization, communication, and documentation discipline of a strong Project Manager.

You'll take ownership of high-end custom homes and renovations, spending approximately 90% of your time in the field while serving as the critical link between clients, subcontractors, vendors, and the company's internal team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands that custom construction requires more than keeping a schedule moving - every detail matters.

What You'll Do as the Field Project Manager:

• Own day-to-day execution of luxury custom homes and high-end residential renovations from the field
• Spend approximately 90% of your time on active jobsites, proactively inspecting work and identifying issues before they impact subsequent trades
• Manage project schedules, subcontractors, vendors, materials, site logistics, and overall field coordination
• Typically oversee one major custom home alongside one or two smaller or less complex renovation projects
• Review plans and scopes thoroughly so subcontractors understand critical details, expectations, and potential problem areas before work begins
• Inspect completed work for quality, accuracy, and adherence to plans rather than relying on surface-level jobsite checks
• Maintain consistent communication with clients through calls, texts, emails, meetings, and timely follow-up
• Serve as a polished, knowledgeable representative of the company when working with discerning custom-home clients
• Complete accurate same-day daily reports and maintain organized project documentation without exception
• Communicate project information, field conditions, and potential changes back to the internal estimating team
• Coordinate closely with the in-office Estimator, who manages estimating, change orders, and the primary financial administration of projects
• Anticipate scheduling, material, subcontractor, and constructability issues before they become project delays
• Hold subcontractors accountable for workmanship, schedules, cleanliness, and project standards
• Use mobile technology and construction software effectively while remaining actively engaged on the jobsite
• Help create an exceptional construction experience for clients through responsiveness, attention to detail, and follow-through

Must-Haves as the Field Project Manager:

• 10+ years of residential construction experience
• 5+ years of direct Project Manager, Superintendent, or comparable field leadership experience
• Meaningful custom home construction experience - candidates coming exclusively from production residential or commercial construction will not be the right fit
• Proven ability to manage subcontractors, crews, schedules, materials, and multiple phases of residential construction
• Strong understanding of residential construction scopes, sequencing, plans, and quality standards
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify problems before the next trade arrives
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with consistent follow-through
• Professional presence and ability to communicate confidently with high-end homeowners
• Strong computer and technology proficiency, including the ability to maintain accurate project documentation from the field
• Demonstrated discipline around daily reporting, scheduling, documentation, and project organization
• Self-directed mindset with the ability to make sound decisions without constant oversight
• Ability to work onsite throughout Southwest Michigan and…
