Ever After Custom Homes Project Manager - Custom Homes & Major Renovations Location: Burlington, ON | Projects throughout the GTA & Southern Ontario
Take Ownership. Keep Projects Moving. Build Homes That Matter. What if your next project management role gave you the opportunity to do more than simply manage schedules and paperwork?
At Ever After Custom Homes , we don't just build houses -- we create the setting for our clients' tomorrows. We are a growing custom home builder specializing in ground-up custom homes, major additions, whole-home renovations, and residential development projects throughout Southern Ontario.
Our approach is built around quality, transparency, strong relationships, and an exceptional client experience. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced, highly organized, and solutions-focused Project Manager who can take genuine ownership of multiple residential construction projects from pre-construction through final completion.
This is not a desk-only project management position. We need someone who understands construction, anticipates challenges before they become delays, keeps trades and materials moving, communicates confidently with clients, and takes responsibility for delivering successful projects.
