About our client

Our client is an established custom home builder specializing in high-end, thoughtfully designed homes and renovations throughout the Sea-to-Sky and North Shore.

The company is built around quality, strong design, thoughtful planning, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience. As the business grows, there is an opportunity for a Project Manager to play a key role in building the operational systems and processes that will support that growth.

Position Summary

We are looking for a Project Manager who can take ownership of high-end custom home projects from the early design and estimating phase through construction and final customer care.

This is a hands-on leadership role focused on planning, estimating, budgets, quality, client communication, and project execution . You will work closely with the owner, design teams, site supervision, trades, and clients to ensure projects are well planned, financially sound, and executed to a high standard.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and confident in making decisions. You understand that successful custom home construction starts long before a shovel hits the ground - and that accurate estimating, clear scopes, and robust planning are the foundation of a profitable project.

- Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, Gantt charts, and rolling three-month look-aheads.
- Manage project budgets, ensuring invoices and receipts are accurately coded and costs are tracked against budget on a monthly basis.
- Identify and communicate budget variances, risks, and potential cost overruns early.




- Lead detailed estimating and scope development, ensuring projects have accurate pricing, allowances, and clearly defined work breakdowns.
- Provide ongoing pricing guidance throughout the design process, including value engineering and cost implications of design decisions.
- Review architectural, interior design, and engineering drawings to identify scope requirements, quality expectations, and potential gaps before construction.
- Establish clear quality standards and project expectations for site supervision and trades.
- Manage change orders and ensure they are accurately priced, documented, and communicated.
- Coordinate with clients, designers, consultants, site supervisors, trades, and suppliers to keep projects moving.
- Continuously improve project management systems, processes, and tools as the company scales.
- Work closely with the owner on major milestones while taking increasing ownership of day-to-day project operations.

Qualifications

- Proven experience managing high-end custom residential construction projects.

- Excellent understanding of construction budgets, margins, markups, labour costs, and project profitability.
- Ability to interpret architectural, interior design, and engineering drawings.
- Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and long project timelines.
- Highly detail-oriented with a strong ability to identify scope, pricing, scheduling, and coordination gaps.
- Experience using construction management software and spreadsheets
- Strong communication and client relationship skills, particularly with high-end residential clients and design professionals.
- Calm and solutions-oriented when dealing with challenges, changes, and competing priorities.
- Self-directed and proactive - you see what needs to happen next and take ownership without waiting to be asked.
- Genuine interest in design, construction quality, and the details that differentiate exceptional custom homes.
