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…
