Project Manager Apprentice
Build More Than Houses. Build a Career.
757 Building Company is one of Coastal Virginia’s fastest-growing residential builders, specializing in barndominiums, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and residential renovation projects. No two days are the same, and no two projects are alike.
This is not just another job—it’s a paid apprenticeship for someone who wants to build a career in residential construction. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, learn every phase of the building process, and play an important role in delivering exceptional homes to our clients.
If you enjoy working outdoors, solving problems, staying organized, and taking ownership of your work, we’d love to meet you.
Who We Are

Pursuit of Mastery
We take pride in our work. We strive to execute with precision, continuously improve our skills, and produce results that consistently exceed expectations.
High Speed, Low Drag
We move with urgency while protecting quality. We stay focused on the mission, eliminate unnecessary friction, and avoid distractions. We touch things once whenever possible and keep projects moving forward.
Extreme Ownership
We take responsibility—to an extreme degree. We own the outcome, not just the task. We don’t make excuses, pass blame, or wait for someone else to solve problems. We follow through and get results.
5-Star Service
We believe every client interaction matters. Our goal isn’t simply to build homes—it’s to build lifelong relationships that generate enthusiastic referrals from satisfied clients.

Why 757 Building Company?

As our company continues to grow, so do the opportunities within it. Team members who consistently demonstrate initiative, leadership, reliability, and Extreme Ownership may have opportunities to take on increasing responsibility, including Assistant Project Manager or Project Manager roles overseeing custom homes, barndominiums, ADUs, and residential renovation projects. Those opportunities are earned through performance, not tenure.
