Original job description
Smithwood Builders Inc.
Senior Construction Project Manager
Location: Based in North Vancouver, BC, with regular travel to project sites throughout Greater Vancouver.
Lead Exceptional Projects From Vision to Completion
Smithwood Builders specializes in sophisticated custom homes and major residential renovations built with craftsmanship, careful planning, and respect for the homeowner's experience. We undertake challenging, highly customized projects rather than repetitive or speculative construction. As our portfolio grows, we are preparing to add an accomplished Project Manager who shares our values of Transparency, Hard Work, Quality, Learning, and Integrity.
The Senior Construction Project Manager will lead complex custom-home and renovation projects from preconstruction through final completion. You will coordinate clients, architects, designers, carpenters, trade partners, budgets, schedules, selections, and documentation while protecting Smithwood's high standards.
Because our projects are personal and highly customized, this role requires more than technical construction knowledge. The successful candidate must communicate openly, anticipate problems, make well-reasoned decisions, and deliver an exceptional experience for homeowners throughout the building process.
Key Responsibilities
Smithwood Builders is growing thoughtfully, with an emphasis on completing exceptional projects rather than pursuing volume for its own sake. You will have the opportunity to lead distinctive homes, work closely with accomplished architects and trades, and help clients navigate one of the most important investments of their lives. The company values sound judgment, transparent communication, continuous improvement, and personal accountability. This is a long-term opportunity for a seasoned residential professional who wants their leadership to have a visible impact.
Smithwood Builders encourages applications from qualified candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.
