Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with project scope, execution quality, relationship management, business development impact, and achievement of organizational objectives

The Opportunity

Our client, a privately owned high-end General Contracting and Construction Management firm, is seeking a Senior Construction Project Manager to lead and grow its Miami luxury residential platform.

Our client specializes exclusively in ultra-high-end residential construction, delivering custom single-family homes, penthouses, and select residential-focused mixed-use projects.

The Senior Construction Project Manager will operate with meaningful autonomy while receiving strong support from ownership, estimating, and field leadership. A critical component of this role is serving as the strategic steward of quality—setting the vision, standards, and processes for QA/QC across all projects and ensuring flawless execution from preconstruction through turnover.
