Vice President of Construction

Vice President of Construction – Single-Family Projects

Our client is a U.S.
vertically integrated, publicly traded Real Estate Development and Construction firm with a strong financial foundation, managing over $2.5 billion in assets and $800 million in equity.

The company focuses on building and managing residential projects across Texas, blending the efficiency of large-scale production with the uncompromising quality of custom home building. The U.S. division is growing rapidly and offers high executive visibility.

We are seeking a VP of Construction to be the top operational leader responsible for defining the strategy, systems, and execution for all single-family projects in the Houston market. The role will be tasked with solving a unique construction challenge: delivering high-volume projects while strictly adhering to luxury, custom-home quality standards.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this role requires a strategic leader who is equally comfortable in the field and the boardroom, driving a high-accountability, “no delays” culture.

• Scale Operations: Design, implement, and continuously refine scalable construction management standards and processes to support aggressive growth in project volume.
• Technology Leadership: Serve as the executive champion for the firm’s construction management platform (i.e., Procore), ensuring disciplined usage for scheduling, quality control, and data‑driven reporting.
• Cost Control: Establish annual budgets, cost‑tracking methodologies, and financial controls in collaboration with executive leadership to maximize project profitability.

• Schedule Enforcement: Own the execution of the master schedule, preemptively mitigating critical path risks to ensure all high-end custom-spec homes are delivered on time.
• Quality Assurance: Institute and enforce rigorous quality control checkpoints, ensuring craftsmanship and materials consistently meet luxury residential standards.
• Vendor Management: Oversee strategic subcontractor and vendor relationships, leading contract negotiations to secure best-in-class performance, pricing, and reliability for large-scale operations.
• Instill a culture of urgency, accountability, and proactive problem-solving across all construction sites.
• Provide timely and transparent executive reporting to the CEO and corporate stakeholders (U.S. and international HQ).

• 10–20 years of progressive experience in construction management, with a minimum of 5 years focusing on high-volume residential or single-family development in Texas.
• Proven record in a senior leadership role (VP or Director-level) managing multi-million-dollar project portfolios.
• Demonstrated ability to implement scalable construction systems that balance efficiency (Production Builder discipline) with superior quality (Custom Builder standards).
• Deep expertise in construction software (e.g., Procore).
• Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred.

You will thrive in this role if you want to make an impact and have ownership of a growing, entrepreneurial company and will bring all the best-in‑class systems from previous experience.

Highly competitive base salary, bonus structure, and executive benefits.
