Position Description:
About UsFor more than 68 years, The Airoom Companies has been a leader in luxury residential design-build, creating exceptional custom homes, major renovations, and estate properties. By integrating architecture, interior design, estimating, procurement, and construction management under one roof, we provide clients with a seamless experience from concept through completion.
We\'re hiring for two markets at once: established Illinois work and a growing Aspen, Colorado portfolio. Each market presents its own unique challenges; including permitting requirements, seasonal construction schedules, trade availability, logistics, freight, and site access. Success in this role requires adapting processes and execution strategies to meet the demands of each location.
Position SummaryThe Senior Project Manager is responsible for the successful delivery of luxury custom residential projects from design development through final closeout. Unlike traditional project management roles that coordinate activities between separate organizations, this position leads an integrated team of architects, designers, estimators, procurement specialists, superintendents, and trade partners. Driving the project from initial concept through the client\'s first night in their completed home.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reviewing complex construction documents, managing multimillion-dollar project budgets, coordinating consultants and trade partners, resolving field challenges, and building trusted relationships with clients while delivering an exceptional luxury home experience.
We're looking for a project leader who builds the workflow rather than waiting for one. Someone who sees both the full project vision and the smallest detail that could impact success. You identify challenges early, communicate directly, remain composed under pressure, and can successfully manage multiple complex projects without losing sight of the details.
If you prefer to simply execute someone else's plan, this role is not for you. This opportunity is for someone who takes ownership, creates solutions, and leads projects from concept through completion.
