What they need
Project Manager, Affordable Multifamily Construction
Hybrid (2 days on site, 3 days at corporate)
$120,000 to $150,000 base, plus bonus, full benefits, and company vehicle
Join a family-run builder with 75+ years of staying power.
Our client is a privately held, family-run real estate and hospitality group with roots dating back to 1949. Over more than seven decades, they have built homes and apartment communities, developed commercial properties, and grown into a diversified organization with roughly 2,300 apartments, along with ventures in wine, golf, and agriculture. They are not chasing trends. They are building for the long haul, and they are looking for a Project Manager to lead a 39-unit affordable apartment community in Fontana from the ground up.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll split your week between the Fontana jobsite and the Newport Beach corporate office, so you stay close to the work and close to leadership. Your decisions will be trusted and your voice will be heard.
What you'll do
- Lead the project from preconstruction through closeout, owning schedule, budget, quality, and safety
- Manage subcontractors, vendors, and consultants, keeping everyone aligned and accountable
- Run bid leveling, buyout, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and pay applications
- Coordinate with architects, engineers, inspectors, and city agencies to keep the project moving
- Report progress and forecasts to executive leadership with clarity and confidence
- Build strong relationships on site and set a tone of professionalism and respect
What you bring
- Proven experience managing affordable multifamily construction (this is essential)
- Working knowledge of affordable housing funding and compliance requirements, such as tax credit or public financing
- A track record of delivering projects on time and on budget
- Strong organizational skills and the discipline to manage many moving parts
- Proficiency with Bluebeam, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Office
- A down-to-earth, low-drama approach and the ability to earn trust quickly
What we offer
- Competitive base salary of $120,000 to $150,000, plus performance bonus
- Company vehicle
- Comprehensive benefits package
- The stability of a multigenerational, family-owned company with a proven track record
- A hybrid schedule that balances field leadership with corporate visibility
- Direct access to senior leadership and the chance to grow within a multi-company organization
- A genuine team culture, where the crew is known to head out on a hunt together and share the meal afterward
If you take pride in building quality affordable housing and want to be part of an organization built to last, we would love to hear from you!
Other offers great for you!
