Overlook Projects | Chapel Hill / Durham / Hillsborough, NC | $80,000-$100,000/year + Profit Sharing | Full-Time

 Lead High-End Residential Projects. Not Corporate Builds.

Overlook Projects is a boutique, design-driven residential builder serving the Triangle region. We specialize in custom homes and high-end renovations with a focus on craftsmanship, clear communication, and integrity.

We're hiring a Construction Project Manager to lead our projects from pre-construction through completion. This is a field-first leadership role, not a desk-only PM position. If you want to manage quality builds while staying hands-on, this is your opportunity.

• Develop and maintain schedules and budgets
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and material procurement
• Enforce safety and ensure compliance with building codes
• Lead site meetings with homeowners, architects, and trades
• Oversee quality control and solve field issues proactively
• Use construction management software (Materio, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, etc.)
• Maintain clear communication with clients and internal leadership

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years residential construction project management experience
• Strong background in field operations or carpentry
• Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, and multiple active sites
• Experience with construction management platforms
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Independent, accountable, and solutions-oriented
• Based within ~30 minutes of Chapel Hill / Durham / Hillsborough

 Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $80,000-$100,000 per year, based on experience

Plus: Profit-sharing potential

Benefits:

• 4 weeks paid vacation
• 9 paid holidays
• Employer-sponsored health plan + dental & vision options
• 401(k) with employer match
• Mileage reimbursement
• Work-from-field flexibility

 Why Overlook Projects

• Boutique, design-forward residential builder
• Small, collaborative team with high standards
• Real growth opportunity as we scale
• Projects you'll be proud to put your name on
