Job Description

THE MISSION At Pathfinder Holding, we don’t just renovate houses; we revitalize neighborhoods. As a local franchisee of HomeVestors of America (acclaimed for "We Buy Ugly Houses"), we buy distressed properties and transform them into quality homes and premier vacation rentals. We are a "Whatever It Takes" team that moves fast, solves messy problems, and takes extreme ownership of our results. THE ROLE We are seeking a battle-tested Construction Project Manager to serve as the Commander-in-Chief for our residential renovation projects. You will be responsible for simultaneously managing a pipeline of 5–10 active rehabs across West Michigan. This is not a role for a clipboard carrier who waits for instructions. We need a resourceful leader who can build their own army of subcontractors, enforce strict quality standards, and drive projects from "Scope to Sold" without excuses. You are a strategic, data-driven leader who designs systems to anticipate delays, rigorously holds contractors accountable, and treats every dollar in the budget as if it were your own. Responsibilities: WHAT YOU WILL DO • Pipeline Command: Orchestrate 5–10 active renovation projects at once, ensuring materials, labor, and inspections align to hit completion dates. • Contractor Sourcing & Performance Management: Systematically identify, screen, and onboard external subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, drywallers, etc.) and General Contractors. You don't just manage the crew; you build it. You will manage them using a clear, documented performance matrix which you will help develop. • Boots-on-the-Ground QC: Conduct frequent onsite inspections to ensure work is performed to Pathfinder standards and complies with Michigan Residential Code. You are the first line of defense against shoddy workmanship. • Systematic Budget & Schedule Discipline: Implement and manage processes to ensure rigorous management of project timelines and budgets. You are responsible for ensuring projects finish on time and on budget . Your success is measured by data-driven KPIs. • Compliance & Safety: Ensure all necessary permits are pulled, inspections are passed, and worksites are maintained safely. Qualifications: WHO YOU ARE • The Enforcer: You are comfortable having tough conversations. If a sub is late or cuts corners, you hold them accountable immediately. • The Networker: You have (or can quickly build) a deep rolodex of reliable West Michigan tradespeople. You know who to call when a framer flakes. • The Multi-Tasker: You can mentally toggle between a rough-in inspection at Property A and a finish-carpentry issue at Property B without dropping the ball. • The Owner: You treat our capital like your own money. You hate waste and inefficiency. QUALIFICATIONS • Experience: 3+ years of Construction Project Management experience, specifically in residential rehabs, flipping, or scattered-site development. • Licensure: Michigan Residential Builder’s License is preferred. If you do not have one, you must be willing to obtain it (we will support this growth). • Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with construction management software (e.g., Buildertrend, CoConstruct) is preferred, but general tech proficiency (Excel, Smartphones, Tablets) is required. • Mobility: Must have a valid Driver’s License and reliable vehicle/truck for daily travel to job sites throughout West Michigan.

As long as the projects are on time and on budget, how you get there is up to you.Impact: Drive through Grand Rapids and see the physical evidence of your hard work—blight turned into beauty.Growth: We are aggressive growers. As our portfolio expands, your opportunities for leadership and income expand with it.Benefits: Competitive pay, PTO, paid holidays, and insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision, & Life).READY TO OWN THE OUTCOME? If you are hungry to learn, love taking ownership, and want your work to matter, apply today. Please submit your resume and a brief note on why our culture of "Whatever It Takes" resonates with you.
