Project Delivery Lead

About the role

The Project Delivery Lead owns a project from the day it enters diligence to the day it becomes a finished home that Sales accepts as ready to sell. They engage from diligence, partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, and turn feasibility and drawings into a permitted, priced, scheduled, build-ready plan. They carry the project through production, install, and field construction, ensuring no surprises.

Responsibilities

• Engage from diligence. Partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, so we only take on projects we can deliver.
• Own each project end to end as the single point of accountability, from diligence through design, production, install, and field construction, to a home accepted by Sales as ready for sale.
• Build and maintain the critical path across design, factory, install, and field, and drive momentum through every handoff.
• Manage each project to its approved cost, track cost-to-complete, protect margin, and release spend only when scope is complete and quality standards are met.
• Spot problems early, size them, and drive mitigation before they compound, holding the line on the standard product rather than absorbing scope creep.
• Stand up the stage gates, handoff standards, and reporting that track schedule, cost, quality, and risk, and be the single source of truth for project performance.
• Coordinate across real estate operations, project architects, production, install, field operations, and sales. Align factory output and site readiness so the whole chain moves as one, and own both handoffs: a clean brief in from the land team, a documented, ready-for-sale home out to Sales.
• Drive quality and drive down punch and rework, holding every stage to scope and standard through checklists, gates, and field verification.
• Give leadership a clear, honest read. Run project reviews, keep documentation current, and communicate changes to scope, plan, and spec proactively.

Qualifications

• 8+ years delivering complex residential or construction projects, with direct budget-and-schedule ownership across multiple functions (production homebuilding, manufactured or modular housing, or vertically integrated development strongly preferred).
• A track record of owning projects end to end and delivering them on time, on budget, and to standard, not just executing one phase.
• Experience building process and structure where little existed, standing up the gates, playbooks, and reporting that let a team deliver consistently at volume.
• Comfortable with metrics and reporting. You help build the system of record, track performance rigorously, and use data to drive decisions rather than react to them.
• Proven ability to manage risk: spotting problems early, escalating with judgment, and driving mitigation to resolution.
• High EQ and exceptional stakeholder management, able to manage down to crews and trades and up to executives and investors, and to hold partners accountable while keeping the relationship strong.
• A bias toward standardized, repeatable product over bespoke, one-off projects.
• Highly organized and calm under pressure in a fast-paced, high-volume environment; strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Proficiency with schedule and project management tools (e.g., Procore, ACC, MS Project, etc.) and comfort with Google Workspace.
• Strong working knowledge of residential building systems, site work, and the construction-to-handover process.
• Bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, business, or a related discipline preferred, not required.
• A valid driver's license.
