This organization is a high-end builder of architecturally sophisticated spaces, delivering exceptional work across luxury custom homes, multifamily properties, commercial interiors, and other complex projects in the Vail Valley. Known for elevated craftsmanship, operational rigor, and strong client partnership, it brings thoughtful leadership and disciplined execution to every phase of construction.

The position is a director-level, regional leader responsible for ensuring projects are executed with disciplined excellence across budget, schedule, quality, and communication. This role owns the operating cadence that makes delivery predictable and enables scalable growth by setting standards, reviewing the critical work products, coaching project leaders, and stepping in to unblock execution when needed.

  • Work directly with company leadership in a high-trust environment, stewarding luxury details, complex coordination, and clients who expect proactive communication.

Key Outcomes

1. The Delivery “Operating Cadence” Runs Reliably Across Projects
