This is a growing San Francisco general contractor focused on high-end residential work: custom homes, complex renovations, multi-unit residential projects, and select development work. Their clients are homeowners, architects, designers, and developers who expect discretion, organization, and a construction experience that feels as considered as the finished home.
Role SummaryThe Senior Project Manager owns project delivery from preconstruction through closeout. This is a senior client-facing role: one day you are leading a client meeting, the next you are walking the site with the Superintendent, reviewing a budget, or working through a detail with the architect. The firm is hiring this role to pursue larger, higher-value work, and the person in it will help shape how that next chapter gets delivered.
Key OutcomesClients never have to ask where things stand
• Budget, schedule, decisions, and risks reach the client before the client wonders about them
• Homeowners, architects, engineers, and owner representatives trust the person running their project
• Finished projects turn into referrals and repeat work because the experience matched the craftsmanship
Projects are financially controlled
• Budget versus actual is tracked throughout the project, not reconstructed at the end
• Change orders, allowances, and owner selections are priced, documented, and approved before the work proceeds
• Subcontractor scopes, invoices, and payment applications are reviewed with care, so margins hold without surprises
Preconstruction removes risk before the project starts
• Conceptual budgets, scopes, and feasibility work reflect what the build will really cost
• Design intent becomes a realistic budget and schedule the team can stand behind
• Construction insight shows up early enough to matter, during estimating rather than after contract
The field runs with clear support
• The Superintendent gets clear priorities, timely decisions, and obstacles removed
• RFIs, submittals, meeting notes, and closeout documentation stay organized and current
• Risks are surfaced and resolved while they are still small
Required
• 8 to 12+ years of construction project management experience
• Strong background in high-end residential, custom residential, or comparable complex construction
• Proven ability to work directly with sophisticated clients, architects, engineers, and consultants
• Fluency in estimating, job costing, change orders, contracts, sequencing, and scheduling
• Strong written and verbal communication
Preferred
• Experience managing projects in the $5M to $15M+ range
• Bay Area construction experience
• Working proficiency with Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, or similar platforms
• Established architect and developer relationships that help the firm win work
Base salary: $155,000 to $190,000 depending on experience. Annual performance bonus targets 10 to 18 percent of base with upside to roughly 25 percent for exceptional performance, tied to project profitability, schedule performance, client satisfaction, and change order discipline. A project-specific origination incentive applies to work the Senior Project Manager helps bring in. Target total compensation is approximately $180,000 to $225,000+, and candidates with proven $10M+ luxury residential experience and strong architect or developer relationships may be considered above the posted range.
