GENERAL DESCRIPTION
We are an Atlanta design-build firm that is expanding. We like to say, “we do cool projects for cool people”. Our projects are larger in scale and typically take months to a year to produce. We have a tight-knit team that enjoys working together. We value work-life balance as a motivator for doing what we do. We pride ourselves on being the top in-town remodeler and believe in compensating our team well for embracing that title. So, we really need to find the right fit.
The Project Manager (PM) should be a self-starter with the drive to spearhead a construction project from contract signing through project completion.

The PM must be an expert problem solver, scheduler, and emotionally intelligent communicator.
