Residential Construction Project Manager

Built by Coalition | High-End Custom Residential Construction Matthews, North Carolina

This is not a volume-builder PM role.

Built by Coalition is a small, highly specialized residential construction firm delivering thoughtful, design-forward custom homes and renovations. Every project is personal. Every decision matters. We are seeking a Residential Construction Project Manager who thrives in that environment – someone who understands that clarity and client trust are the real product.

This role is central to the firm's success. You will manage complex residential projects from pre‑construction handoff through close‑out, acting as the primary steward of schedule, budget, quality, accountability and client experience.

This Role is primarily a Project Management position; however, it is important for this position to have the ability to Construction Manage as well, due to the nature of a small specialized company.

As Project Manager, you will be entrusted with full responsibility for your projects – not just managing tasks, but leading outcomes. You'll work closely with Homeowners, designers, trades, the Construction Manager, and clients to deliver homes that reflect precision, pride, and professionalism at every stage.

This is a career-defining role for a PM who wants authority, trust, and accountability – not bureaucracy.
