The posting

A growing luxury custom home builder and artisan millwork company serving Southwest Michigan's Lake Michigan corridor, is seeking a Field Project Manager to join their team. This is an onsite, field-driven role for an experienced residential construction professional who can combine Superintendent-level jobsite leadership with the organization, communication, and documentation discipline of a strong Project Manager.

You'll take ownership of high-end custom homes and renovations, spending approximately 90% of your time in the field while serving as the critical link between clients, subcontractors, vendors, and the company's internal team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands that custom construction requires more than keeping a schedule moving - every detail matters.

What You'll Do as the Field Project Manager:

  • Own day-to-day execution of luxury custom homes and high-end residential renovations from the field
  • Spend approximately 90% of your time on active jobsites, proactively inspecting work and identifying issues before they impact subsequent trades
  • Manage project schedules, subcontractors, vendors, materials, site logistics, and overall field coordination
  • Typically oversee one major custom home alongside one or two smaller or less complex renovation projects
  • Review plans and scopes thoroughly so subcontractors understand critical details, expectations, and potential problem areas before work begins
  • Inspect completed work for quality, accuracy, and adherence to plans rather than relying on surface-level jobsite checks
  • Maintain consistent communication with clients through calls, texts, emails, meetings, and timely follow-up
  • Serve as a polished, knowledgeable representative of the company when working with discerning custom-home clients
  • Complete accurate same-day daily reports and maintain organized project documentation without exception
  • Communicate project information, field conditions, and potential changes back to the internal estimating team
  • Coordinate closely with the in-office Estimator, who manages estimating, change orders, and the primary financial administration of projects
  • Anticipate scheduling, material, subcontractor, and constructability issues before they become project delays
  • Hold subcontractors accountable for workmanship, schedules, cleanliness, and project standards
  • Use mobile technology and construction software effectively while remaining actively engaged on the jobsite
  • Help create an exceptional construction experience for clients through responsiveness, attention to detail, and follow-through

Must-Haves as the Field Project Manager:

  • 10+ years of residential construction experience
  • 5+ years of direct Project Manager, Superintendent, or comparable field leadership experience
  • Meaningful custom home construction experience - candidates coming exclusively from production residential or commercial construction will not be the right fit
  • Proven ability to manage subcontractors, crews, schedules, materials, and multiple phases of residential construction
  • Strong understanding of residential construction scopes, sequencing, plans, and quality standards
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify problems before the next trade arrives
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with consistent follow-through
  • Professional presence and ability to communicate confidently with high-end homeowners
  • Strong computer and technology proficiency, including the ability to maintain accurate project documentation from the field
  • Demonstrated discipline around daily reporting, scheduling, documentation, and project organization
  • Self-directed mindset with the ability to make sound decisions without constant oversight
  • Ability to work onsite throughout Southwest Michigan and the Harbor Country/Lake Michigan corridor

Nice-to-Haves as the Field Project Manager:

  • Luxury residential construction experience
  • Experience managing $1M+ custom homes or sophisticated high-end renovations
  • Experience working with architects, designers, custom millwork, and specialty trades
  • Previous experience balancing both Superintendent and Project Manager responsibilities
  • Familiarity with the Southwest Michigan, Northwest Indiana, or greater Michiana construction market
  • Experience working for a smaller custom builder where collaboration and individual accountability are critical

The Company Offers:

  • Base salary of $80,000-$100,000
  • Year-end bonus opportunity
  • 10 days of PTO to start, with flexibility based on candidate experience
  • 7 paid holidays
  • Field-driven position with technology and equipment provided to help you remain productive while onsite
  • Dedicated in-office estimating support handling estimating, change orders, and much of the project's financial administration
  • Manage a focused project load rather than being spread across a large number of production homes
  • Opportunity to work on distinctive luxury custom homes and high-end renovations throughout Southwest Michigan
  • Join a growing 12-person company with significant upcoming project activity
  • Collaborative, family-oriented environment built around good people, craftsmanship, communication, and teamwork
  • High level of trust and ownership for an experienced construction professional who can become a true extension of company leadership in the field
