About AHC2
AHC2 is a small, close-knit team of professionals who manage the development of franchised businesses for our clients. We specialize in child-focused concepts such as preschools, swim schools, and family entertainment centers. Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals — a testament to the trust we build through personal attention, transparency, and a deep understanding of what our clients need. If you enjoy wearing multiple hats in a small but dynamic team, read on.

About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced professional to join our team in a long-term role, someone who’s been through every stage of the development process — from site evaluation and feasibility studies to construction completion and grand opening. Land development experience is a plus but not required.


This is a great opportunity for someone who wants:
  • To grow into a leadership position in a supportive environment.
  • A collaborative, respectful, and laid-back work culture
  • The chance to build something meaningful alongside a team that cares
  • Opportunity for professional development and long-term growth
  • A competitive salary (based on experience) and bonus potential
Key Responsibilities
  • Site Evaluation & Feasibility: Assist clients with evaluating potential locations; Oversee due diligence, zoning research, and entitlement requirements
  • Entitlements & Permitting: Lead entitlement processes including zoning approvals, conditional use permits (CUPs), and planning board submissions; Coordinate and submit permit applications, track approvals, and manage jurisdictional reviews
  • Pre-Development & Design Coordination: Manage consultant teams (architects, engineers, surveyors); Review site plans and building layouts for feasibility and compliance 
  • Financing: Understanding of SBA lending; Manage closing checklists
  • Project Management: Develop and maintain project schedules and budgets; Lead weekly meetings and manage communication across teams
  • Construction Oversight: Monitor general contractor performance and adherence to plans; Review pay applications, change orders, and field conditions 
  • Client Support & Soft Opening: Guide clients through equipment deliveries and FF&E coordination; Assist with utility setups, final inspections, and opening preparations
Qualifications
  • 10+ years of experience in construction or real estate development
  • Proven experience managing entitlement and permitting processes across multiple jurisdictions
  • Familiarity with zoning, CUPs, site utilities, and building department approvals
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills — able to work with new business owners and seasoned professionals alike
  • Ability to manage multiple projects independently with minimal oversight
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable solving problems proactively
  • Strong construction management skills, including oversight of general contractors, reviewing pay applications and change orders, coordinating inspections, and resolving jobsite issues
  • Ability to read and interpret construction documents, plans, and specifications
  • Comfortable conducting jobsite walks, participating in OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) meetings, and tracking progress against schedule and budget
  • Bonus points for experience with franchise concepts, especially in childcare, education, or recreation
