Full Job Description

Who We Are

Elite Capital Group & Dakota Capital Properties are young, fast-moving real estate firms actively building groundup luxury residential and multifamily projects across Tennessee and the Southeast. We are not a legacy shop.

We are scaling quickly, deploying real capital on real dirt, and we are looking for a Project Manager who wants to grow with us — not coast alongside us.

This is a high-ownership role. Your decisions will directly move projects forward and directly affect the bottom line. The right person sees that as an opportunity; the wrong person sees it as pressure. We want the first kind.

Who We Are Looking For

We want someone hungry. Someone who takes ownership, pushes projects forward every single day, and does not need to be chased down for updates. If you want to build something, wear multiple hats, and be recognized for the work you put in — keep reading.

Specifically, we want someone who:

Moves fast. Pushes decisions, chases down subs, and closes out open items without being asked twice.
Takes ownership. Treats every project like it is your own money on the line — because for us, it is.
Is detail-obsessed. Catches the $5,000 issue in a $5M project before it becomes a $50,000 issue.
Thrives in ambiguity. We do not have a 500-page playbook. You will help us write it.
Communicates proactively. Bad news early beats good news late, every time.

Role Overview

You will own residential and multifamily construction projects in the Knoxville, TN market from pre-construction through final closeout. You are the single point of accountability — planning, budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, quality, safety, and closeout all sit on your desk. You will be the primary point of contact for ownership, architects, engineers, lenders, and the trades on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain detailed project schedules. Hold them accountable, not the other way around.
Own the budget. Track every cost, every change order, every variance — and flag issues before they escalate.
Manage subcontractors end-to-end: bid out scopes, award contracts, enforce performance, approve pay apps, and shut down non-performers.
Conduct weekly site walks. Verify quality workmanship and adherence to plans and specs — in person, not from an email.
Ensure full compliance with Knoxville and East TN building codes, inspections, and safety requirements.
Coordinate with architects, engineers, and city/county inspectors to keep reviews, permits, and approvals moving.
Prepare and submit progress reports, funding draws, and project documentation on time — every time.
Resolve on-site issues immediately. We do not wait until Monday.
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized jobsite that reflects the quality of the finished product.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Minimum 5 years of construction project management experience, with at least 3 years on residential or multifamily.
Demonstrated track record managing projects in the $1M–$10M+ range, multiple at a time.
Strong working knowledge of construction methods, materials, building codes, and safety regulations.
Proficient in BuilderTrend (or equivalent PM software) and Microsoft Office / Google Workspace.
Current driver's license and reliable transportation. Frequent site visits across the Knoxville area are required.
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred — equivalent field experience will be given full weight.

Preferred Qualifications

General Contractor (GC) license, or willingness to obtain one.
Direct experience with residential single-family, multifamily apartment, and mixed-use developments.
Existing relationships with Knoxville-area subs, inspectors, and municipal staff.
Familiarity with Knox County / City of Knoxville permitting and inspection processes.
OSHA 10/30 or other safety certifications.

What We Offer

Competitive base salary, commensurate with experience.
Performance-driven upside. Top performers are rewarded — period.
Direct exposure to ECG ownership and senior leadership. No layers to hide behind.
A real seat at a fast-growing firm. The early team shapes the company.
Professional development and GC licensure support.

How to Apply

Send a resume, a short note on the biggest project you have personally driven across the finish line, and at least two references to the contacts below.

Contact: [email protected] // [email protected] // [email protected]

We move fast on candidates we like. If you are the right fit, you will hear from us quickly.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
