Lead High-End Residential Projects. Not Corporate Builds.
Overlook Projects is a boutique, design-driven residential builder serving the Triangle region. We specialize in custom homes and high-end renovations with a focus on craftsmanship, clear communication, and integrity.
We're hiring a Construction Project Manager to lead our projects from pre-construction through completion. This is a field-first leadership role, not a desk-only PM position. If you want to manage quality builds while staying hands-on, this is your opportunity.

- Develop and maintain schedules and budgets
- Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and material procurement
- Enforce safety and ensure compliance with building codes
- Lead site meetings with homeowners, architects, and trades
- Oversee quality control and solve field issues proactively
- Use construction management software (Materio, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, etc.)
- Maintain clear communication with clients and internal leadership
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years residential construction project management experience
- Strong background in field operations or carpentry
- Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, and multiple active sites
- Experience with construction management platforms
- Excellent communication and leadership skills
- Independent, accountable, and solutions-oriented
- Based within ~30 minutes of Chapel Hill / Durham / Hillsborough
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $80,000-$100,000 per year, based on experience
Plus: Profit-sharing potential
Benefits:
- 4 weeks paid vacation
- 9 paid holidays
- Employer-sponsored health plan + dental & vision options
- 401(k) with employer match
- Mileage reimbursement
- Work-from-field flexibility
Why Overlook Projects
- Boutique, design-forward residential builder
- Small, collaborative team with high standards
- Real growth opportunity as we scale
- Projects you'll be proud to put your name on
