Flatiron Build Co is a fast-growing, systems-driven residential remodeling company expanding from Denver into Orange County, California.

We specialize in high-end residential remodeling, including kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, light structural work, and small additions. Our model combines strong construction fundamentals with a modern operating system: structured sales, clear estimating, project management software, 3D design tools, AI-supported workflows, and a premium customer experience.

We are not looking to simply hire a project manager.

We are looking for a growth-minded residential remodeling operator who can help launch, build, and lead our Orange County market alongside the founder.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants the upside and autonomy of helping build a new market, without having to start completely from scratch. You will be stepping into a proven operating model, active founder support, existing systems, and a market with strong demand for high-quality remodeling.

This role is ideal for someone who has strong residential remodeling experience and wants more than a standard PM seat.

You may be a senior project manager, operations manager, licensed general contractor, construction leader, or remodeling professional who wants to help build a market, lead teams, and grow into a true GM/operator role.

In the early stage, you will work directly with the founder to:

• Build the Orange County subcontractor and vendor network
• Support sales consultations, estimating, and proposal development
• Help launch the first projects in the market
• Manage client relationships and project execution
• Establish local processes, standards, and expectations
• Help grow the location from the ground up

As the market scales, this role will evolve into the local market leader responsible for overseeing the team, client experience, project execution, and operational performance.

• Help launch and grow the Orange County location for a high-end residential remodeling brand
• Partner directly with the founder during the early sales, estimating, and production phases
• Build, vet, and manage a reliable network of subcontractors, vendors, and trade partners
• Support in-home consultations, client discovery, estimating, scope development, and proposal creation
• Oversee residential remodeling projects from pre-construction through completion
• Manage schedules, budgets, scopes, subcontractors, quality control, and client communication
• Use Job Tread or similar project management tools to keep jobs organized and transparent
• Deliver a premium client experience for homeowners living through remodeling projects
• Solve problems quickly, calmly, and professionally when issues arise in the field
• Help establish scalable systems for sales, estimating, production, communication, and customer experience
• Initially wear multiple hats, then help build and lead the local team as the market grows
• Support future hiring of project managers, field support, and additional production roles as revenue scales

We are looking for someone who understands residential remodeling, but who is also adaptable, systems-minded, and excited by growth.

The right person is not just a builder. They are a communicator, operator, problem solver, and leader.

• Residential remodeling, residential construction, or design-build experience
• Strong understanding of occupied-home remodeling projects
• Ability to manage subcontractors, schedules, budgets, scopes, and client expectations
• Comfortable participating in sales consultations, estimating, and proposal development
• Strong customer-facing communication skills
• Ability to build trust with high-end homeowners
• Experience managing multiple moving pieces across sales, pre-construction, and production
• Comfortable using project management, CRM, estimating, or field management software
• Willingness to follow and improve structured systems
• Ability to work throughout the Orange County market
• Willingness to participate in initial training with the Denver team, if needed

• Active California Class B General Contractor license
• Existing Orange County subcontractor, vendor, or permitting knowledge
• Experience in high-end residential remodeling
• Experience with kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, light structural work, and additions
• Experience using Job Tread, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Hub Spot, Monday, or similar systems
• Experience helping launch, scale, or lead a branch, market, division, or business unit
• Background in a systems-driven remodeling, design-build, home services, or…
