About the role
The Senior Vice President (SVP) of Construction leads field oversight of the Condominium Division's active luxury multi-family construction portfolio, currently comprising approximately 10 projects across South Florida. This is a hands-on, on-site role: the SVP is expected to be physically present at job sites on a regular basis, walking active construction to proactively identify issues before they affect schedule or budget. The SVP works closely with developer teams, general contractors, and trade partners to keep projects on schedule and on budget, while partnering with the COO, Condo President, and EVP of Construction to report progress and resolve escalations. The role also supports select projects in preconstruction.

- Oversee all active luxury multifamily/condominium construction projects (approximately 10 sites across South Florida), maintaining a regular, hands-on presence through proactive site walks, progress monitoring, and coordination with developers, general contractors, consultants, and field teams to resolve issues, maintain schedules, and achieve project milestones in support of the organization's triple-bottom-line goals (financial, social, and environmental).
- Oversee the construction budget, including cost estimation, tracking, and cost control measures, ensuring projects remain financially viable and meet profitability targets.
- Implement and enforce quality control measures to guarantee the delivery of luxury living spaces that exceed client and market expectations.
- Identify and mitigate project and operational risks — including compliance with building codes, regulations, and safety requirements, as well as risks to site access, schedule, and asset condition — and resolve conflicts among construction, maintenance, permitted work, and special events before they impact schedules or customers.
- Plan, organize, and prioritize work across multiple concurrent projects, maintaining firm schedules and deadlines.
- Maintain working knowledge of the inspection and title processes as they relate to project close-out and unit delivery.
- Prepare and present reports and executive-level recommendations to the COO, Condo President, and EVP of Construction, summarizing progress, financial performance, and escalations, and partnering with them on strategic decisions.
