A bit about us:We're a large, well-established regional General Contractor with a dominant presence across the Southeast. Our core focus is student housing and mid- to high-rise multifamily developments, typically ranging from $40M-$150M+ in value.
This is a high-volume, repeat-client environment where speed, precision, and execution matter. Projects are complex, schedules are aggressive, and teams are expected to perform at a high level. If you're looking to step into a role where you're truly running pieces of the job-not just supporting-you'll fit well here.
Why join us?- Strong pipeline of ground-up student housing & urban mid/high-rise projects

- Lead RFI, submittal, and document control processes with minimal oversight

- Support buyout and procurement efforts for key trades
- Drive QA/QC processes and ensure work aligns with plans/specs
- Maintain strong communication between field operations and office teams
