The Potter's Hands
About Us
The Potter's Hands is a growing residential construction company serving Downeast Maine. We specialize in high-quality remodeling, additions, new construction, and custom projects. We're building a company known for professionalism, craftsmanship, and excellent customer service—and we're looking for the right leader to help us continue growing.
Position Overview
We're looking for an experienced Construction Operations Manager who can bridge the gap between the office, the jobsite, and our customers.
This isn't a desk job, and it isn't purely a field position.
You'll spend time working alongside our crews, meeting with homeowners, solving problems in the field, coordinating schedules, and keeping projects moving. You'll also spend time in the office handling planning, communication, purchasing, documentation, and project management.
If you enjoy leading people, solving problems, and taking ownership of projects from start to finish, we'd love to meet you.
Responsibilities
- Manage multiple residential construction projects
- Lead and support field crews
- Work alongside crews when needed
- Meet with homeowners and maintain excellent customer communication
- Coordinate subcontractors and suppliers
- Schedule projects and keep timelines on track
- Order materials and manage deliveries
- Perform quality control inspections
- Solve field issues before they become larger problems
- Assist with estimating and project planning
- Keep project documentation organized
- Help improve company systems and processes
- Maintain a safe and professional work environment
Within your first 12 months, you'll be expected to:
- Run projects with minimal owner involvement.
- Become the primary point of contact for customers during construction.
- Keep projects on schedule and within budget.
- Coordinate crews and subcontractors confidently.
- Reduce the number of daily operational questions directed to the owner.
- Help improve company systems and processes as we continue to grow.

- Ability to lead by example and earn the respect of both customers and crews
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience estimating projects
- OSHA certifications
- Knowledge of local building codes
- Experience with scheduling software
- Experience managing multiple crews simultaneously
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Takes ownership instead of waiting for direction.
- Communicates clearly with customers and employees.
- Solves problems instead of creating them.
- Can see both the big picture and the small details.
- Leads by example.
- Wants to grow with a company that is expanding.
