Uprite Construction is conducting a retained search on behalf of a respected client for an experienced Project Manager with a strong background in multi-family construction. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team focused on delivering quality residential developments in the San Diego area. The current focus is on smaller-scale multi-family builds ranging from 10 to 30 units. While experience with 100+ unit projects is valued, this role is ideal for someone who thrives in more hands-on, agile project environments.

We’re seeking a candidate who can take full ownership of the project lifecycle—from preconstruction and permitting through final close-out. This role requires deep knowledge of construction processes, subcontractor management, scheduling, and client communication.

• Oversee all phases of assigned multi-family projects (10–30 units)
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and subcontractors to ensure timely, on-budget delivery
• Lead project planning, scheduling, and daily operations
• Monitor progress, resolve issues, and ensure safety compliance
• Provide regular updates to ownership and stakeholders
• Support preconstruction efforts when needed

• Proven experience as a Project Manager in residential or multi-family construction
• Strong preference for candidates with prior experience managing 10–30 unit builds
• Solid understanding of construction scheduling, budgeting, and team leadership
• Excellent communication and coordination skills
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Starting base:
  Approx. $120K/year, based on experience
• Performance-based bonuses
• 1099 contract role with the potential to transition to W2 employment as workload grows
