Construction Project Manager, Factory

About the role

The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We believe that America’s affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers. As Construction Project Manager, you will own the delivery of our new factory buildout in Austin, TX.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery of the factory buildout from preconstruction through commissioning and turnover.
• Serve as AHC’s primary point of accountability with the general contractor, design team, consultants, vendors, and other project partners.
• Coordinate construction and installation of base-building and process systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, compressed air, dust collection, life safety, and process utilities.
• Coordinate permitting, inspections, and approvals with the design team and authorities having jurisdiction, keeping regulatory requirements off the critical path.
• Execute the facility layout in partnership with manufacturing engineering to support material flow, production efficiency, and future expansion.
• Own the integrated project schedule, track the critical path, manage milestones, and hold the GC and vendors accountable to the plan.
• Own project cost control, including budget tracking, forecasting, GC buyout review, pay applications, allowances, contingencies, and change orders.
• Review scope, constructability, sequencing, and proposed changes to identify risks and savings without compromising safety, quality, or schedule.
• Hold the GC accountable for site safety, code compliance, quality, documentation, and execution in accordance with the contract documents.
• Establish and track project KPIs, including schedule adherence, budget variance, change-order exposure, quality, and closeout performance.
• Lead commissioning, punch-list completion, documentation, training, and turnover of building and process systems to operations.
• Provide leadership with a clear and accurate view of project status, risks, decisions, and forecasted cost and completion dates.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in construction management, project management, or owner-side capital project delivery, ideally in a manufacturing, industrial, or heavy-production environment.
• Direct experience delivering a factory, industrial facility, or complex commercial buildout from preconstruction or design through commissioning and turnover.
• Proven ability to manage a general contractor, consultants, and vendors, including contract administration, change-order management, pay-application review, and schedule control.
• Strong working knowledge of building and process systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural, life safety, and process utilities.
• Strong financial acumen and demonstrated experience managing multimillion-dollar capital budgets, forecasts, contingencies, and cost-to-complete.
• Familiarity with building codes, OSHA requirements, NFPA standards, permitting, inspections, and authorities having jurisdiction.
• Strong constructability, sequencing, risk-management, and problem-solving judgment.
• Proficiency with construction management and scheduling tools; experience with CAD or facility-planning tools is a plus.
• Ability to lead across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
• Highly organized, decisive, and capable of holding contractors and partners accountable while maintaining productive relationships.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or a related technical discipline preferred, not required.
• PE, PMP, CCM, or LEED certification is a plus.
