Field Project Manager

Field Project Manager

Reservoir Partners—Los Angeles (On-Site, In-Person)

$120,000–$150,000 base, depending on experience, plus performance bonus tied to project milestones.

We’re a Los Angeles real estate development and construction company focused on heavy value-add multifamily renovation and ADU development across NELA / Eastside LA (Highland Park, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock). We’re an owner-operator: we acquire, design, build, and manage our own assets. Current portfolio: ~120 units across active renovation, ADU, and multifamily development projects. Current workload includes 3–4 active projects and a 30-unit ground-up project in predevelopment.

We’re lean, fast-moving, and systems-oriented. We don’t operate like a large GC with deep bench support. We operate like a startup that builds buildings. Everyone here wears multiple hats, owns outcomes, and helps build the systems the company runs on — not just execute inside them.

The Field Project Manager owns the full lifecycle of our construction projects — from preconstruction coordination through punch list and closeout. This role sits at the intersection of field execution, subcontractor management, schedule control, and owner communication.

This is not a pure superintendent role, and it’s not a desk PM role. It requires both. You need to be as comfortable reading structural drawings on a job site as you are writing a subcontractor scope, updating a schedule, or sending ownership a clean weekly report. You are the primary accountability holder for field execution, schedule, quality, subcontractor management, and project outcomes across approximately 3–4 active projects at any given time.

You’ll have offshore project-engineer support for paperwork-heavy work, so you can stay where you’re most valuable: in the field, across our active projects.

The ideal candidate is an experienced multifamily site superintendent / field PM who is equally strong on the other side of the job: technology, systems, organization, and communication. We’re looking for someone who can run subs in the field at 6am and then write ownership a tight, organized status update by end of day — and build the checklist that makes the next job run smoother.

If you’re a great field operator but documentation and upward communication are an afterthought, this isn’t the seat. If you’re a sharp organizer who’d rather be at a desk than on a jobsite, it isn’t either. We need both.

• Lead preconstruction meetings with architect, structural engineer, and key subs before breaking ground
• Confirm all plans align with existing site conditions — flag conflicts before construction begins
• Maintain a preconstruction checklist covering permits, inspections, certifications, and design-build confirmations
• Confirm all subcontractor contracts are executed with clear scope of work before mobilization
• Create preliminary schedule and budget with ownership approval
• Verify all materials and lead times — confirm nothing has been discontinued or is at risk of delay

• This is a field-first role. Expect to spend the majority of your working hours on active jobsites. Site visits should occur as often as necessary to maintain schedule, quality, and subcontractor accountability, with a minimum of three times weekly per active project.
• Walk the site against approved plans on every visit — verify work is built per drawings and specs
• Stop work immediately when it’s non-compliant — document, notify all parties, and drive resolution
• Maintain consistent photo documentation of active work and key milestones, organized by trade and uploaded to Company Cam or a shared folder
• Verify all structural, MEP, and framing scope is complete before work is concealed
• Confirm current work doesn’t conflict with future work — prevent change orders before they happen
• Manage inspection scheduling, prep, and correction tracking through to close

• Manage all subcontractors — set expectations, enforce scope, hold them accountable to schedule and quality
• Bring legacy and small subs…
