Overview

Build excellence. Lead with precision. Wolfe Design Build LLC is a boutique residential design-build firm specializing in high-end renovations and additions. We’re looking for a senior-level Project Manager to lead multiple projects, mentor our team, and refine our production systems as we continue to scale. If you thrive in a well-organized environment, love the blend of leadership and hands-on project management, and value craftsmanship as much as client care, we’d love to hear from you. As our Project Manager, you’ll oversee the day-to-day production of several high-end residential remodeling projects ranging from $250,000 to $850,000, ensuring each is delivered on time, on budget, and to Wolfe’s signature quality standards. You’ll collaborate daily with our in-house architect, designer, and project managers, serving as the key link between design and construction.

Develop and maintain reliable three-week look-aheads; confirm subcontractor commitments one week and two days prior; coordinate trades, inspections, and logistics to keep projects running smoothly. Design & Production Alignment:

Collaborate daily with our in-house architect, designer, and owner to align on drawings, selections, allowances, procurement, and site execution. Quality & Safety:

Drive quality control, safety, and workflow standards across all active projects to maintain Wolfe’s reputation for exceptional work. Client Communication:

Maintain proactive, transparent communication with homeowners — providing weekly updates, tracking decisions, and ensuring a positive experience from start to finish. Financial Tracking:

Accurately manage job cost-to-complete reports, change orders, and support invoicing accuracy to maintain financial clarity. Documentation & Closeout:

Maintain well-organized job binders, daily site documentation, and closeout materials; create and fulfill punch lists to ensure every project is delivered complete and correct. Meetings & Problem Solving:

Lead production meetings, monitor schedules, and proactively resolve issues before they impact progress or client satisfaction. Systems & Process Improvement:

Contribute to refining production systems, checklists, and dashboards that enhance consistency, efficiency, and scalability as the company grows.
