Company Overview
Legacy Home Builders is a fast-growing construction and real estate company focused on developing high-quality Build-to-Rent communities across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Through disciplined execution, operational excellence, and a commitment to long-term growth, we are building thriving rental communities designed to meet the evolving needs of today's residents.

Job Overview
This is a senior leadership role designed for a proven residential construction executive with extensive experience managing large-scale residential developments. The Director of Construction / Senior Project Manager will oversee multiple Build-to-Rent communities simultaneously, managing superintendents, schedules, budgets, trade partners, quality standards, and overall project delivery.

This is not a traditional single-project management position. We are seeking a construction operator capable of leading multiple communities, developing scalable systems, and driving operational excellence across all construction activities.

Responsibilities

Construction Operations

Lead construction activities across multiple active Build-to-Rent communities.
Manage and mentor a team of 5+ Superintendents and field personnel.
Oversee 120–300+ homes under active construction simultaneously.
Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to company quality standards.
Develop and implement construction operating procedures, field standards, and best practices.
Conduct regular site visits and project reviews.

Schedule Management

Develop and maintain master schedules across all active communities.
Monitor critical path activities and implement recovery plans when necessary.
Coordinate trade sequencing and production schedules.
Track cycle times, productivity metrics, and overall project performance.

Leadership & Team Development

Recruit, train, mentor, and develop Superintendents and field staff.
Conduct performance evaluations and establish accountability metrics.
Foster a culture of ownership, safety, professionalism, and operational excellence.
Build organizational capacity to support company growth.

Trade Partner & Vendor Management

Develop and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers.
Evaluate trade partner performance, capacity, and quality.
Assist with subcontractor procurement and contract negotiations.
Ensure trade partners consistently meet schedule and quality expectations.

Quality Control

Establish and enforce quality assurance standards across all communities.
Reduce rework and warranty exposure through proactive inspections.
Implement field quality control checklists and documentation procedures.
Maintain consistency in construction quality across all projects.

Preconstruction & Development Support

Collaborate with development, engineering, and executive leadership teams.
Assist with project planning, budgeting, forecasting, and feasibility analysis.
Support permitting, utility coordination, and municipal approvals.
Participate in design review and value engineering initiatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with leasing, operations, and property management teams.
Coordinate phased turnovers and occupancy schedules.
Support executive reporting and performance tracking.
Help optimize projects for long-term asset performance and operational efficiency.

Qualifications

10+ years of residential construction management experience.
5+ years managing multifamily, Build-to-Rent, production homebuilding, or large-scale residential communities.
Experience supervising at least 5 direct-report Superintendents.
Experience managing 120+ residential units concurrently.
Demonstrated success managing multiple active communities simultaneously.
Strong knowledge of scheduling, forecasting, budgeting, and cost controls.
Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel regularly between project sites.
Strong knowledge of the Charlotte and Western North Carolina construction market.

Preferred Qualifications

Build-to-Rent, horizontal multifamily, townhome rental, or single-family rental community experience.
Existing subcontractor, supplier, and vendor relationships within the Charlotte region.
Experience scaling construction operations for a growing developer or homebuilder.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and Buildertrend.
Experience working with ERP systems and construction management software.
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred.

Why Join Legacy Home Builders?
At Legacy Home Builders, you'll play a critical role in shaping the future of our growing Build-to-Rent platform. This is an opportunity to lead multiple high-impact developments, build and mentor teams, and directly influence the company's long-term growth strategy.

We offer a dynamic environment where leadership, accountability, and innovation are valued, and where your expertise will have a visible impact on every community we build.

Apply today to help lead the next phase of growth at Legacy Home Builders.

Pay: $105,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year
