Executive Vice President

Description

Williams & Watt Builders (WW Builders) is a general contractor dedicated to rebuilding homes for families impacted by the January 2025 Eaton and Palisades fires. WW Builders partners with nonprofit programs, gap lenders, and public agencies to guide families home. WW Builders puts the customer first in how we run every part of the business. That is a deliberate difference from production building, and it is central to who we are.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams & Watt Incorporated (WWI), a commercial real estate investment firm, WW Builders is looking to expand its scope beyond fire rebuilds into fee-build developments and acquisitions across mixed-use and multifamily projects throughout Southern California.

If you are looking for a meaningful career with a tight-knit, purpose-driven team that treats employees like family, we invite you to build the future with us. Take a look at our website to learn more about our mission and our team:

The Executive Vice President leads the day-to-day operations of WW Builders, aligning teams across the company and positioning the organization for its next phase of growth. Reporting to the President, this leader turns company strategy and commitments into consistent execution across Construction, Purchasing, Project Management, and Customer Journey, takes ownership of the company’s relationships with its program partners, and supports ownership in evaluating and preparing projects that will expand WW Builders operations.

The role is built for a builder-developer who has taken projects through the full lifecycle, who leads by earning the trust of experienced people, and who understands that in our business the homeowner comes first.
