Job description

Eco Home Builders is a premier design-build construction company in Southern California specializing in high-end residential remodels, ADUs, and new construction. We're not your typical contractor — we're building a legacy brand with systems, discipline, and an obsession for quality.

THE ROLE

We're hiring a  Director of Construction Operations  to own execution, quality, and profitability on our most complex projects — including challenging hillside builds, custom homes, and intricate design-build remodels.

You'll be the right hand to our CEO, managing high-stakes projects while building the systems and training the team to scale. This isn't just project management — you're part superintendent, part QC inspector, part operations strategist, and part teacher.

WHAT YOU'LL DOOwn Complex Projects End-to-End

  • Manage high-end residential projects (remodels, ADUs, new construction, design-build)
  • Coordinate subcontractors, schedules, budgets, permits, and inspections
  • Handle challenging builds : hillside grading, coastal permits, structural engineering, retaining walls
  • Run daily operations in  Buildertrend  — schedules, budgets, RFIs, change orders, client communication

Quality Control & Field Oversight

  • Weekly job site walks with QC checklists (framing, rough MEP, finishes, punch lists)
  • Catch issues before they're expensive — scope creep, installation errors, code violations
  • Step in as superintendent when needed on critical phases or at-risk projects
  • Enforce company standards for cleanliness, safety, and client experience
  • Pre-Construction & Subcontractor Management

  • Review and vet subcontractor bids for completeness, scope gaps, and pricing
  • Select and onboard trades — check licenses, insurance, references, past work
  • Build a deep bench of reliable subcontractors across all trades
  • Value-engineer projects to hit budget without sacrificing quality
  • Build Systems That Scale

  • Create SOPs, checklists, and templates for project phases (pre-con, handoffs, inspections, closeout)
  • Train project coordinators and PMs so they can handle standard projects independently
  • Optimize Buildertrend workflows — automations, dashboards, client portals
  • Lead weekly coordination meetings with the team
  • Support Office Operations

  • Review proposals, change orders, and contracts for accuracy and margin protection
  • Track project metrics : profitability, schedule adherence, change order ratio
  • Communicate with clients on high-stakes issues (delays, budget, design conflicts)
  • Report weekly to CEO on project status, risks, and opportunities
  • WHAT YOU BRINGNon-Negotiables (Must-Haves)

  • ✅  10+ years in high-end residential construction  (custom homes, major remodels, design-build)
  • ✅  Buildertrend expert  — you live in it daily and know how to use it as a weapon
  • ✅  Experience managing complex projects  from bid to closeout
  • ✅  Hillside / slope construction experience  (grading, retaining walls, soils, drainage)
  • ✅  PM + Superintendent hybrid skills  — you can run the office AND walk the job site
  • ✅  San Diego or Orange County based  — you'll be on job sites 2-4 days / week
  • ✅  QC obsessive  — you catch problems before they become change orders
  • Ideal (Nice-to-Haves)

  • Experience with coastal commission permits and Del Mar / Encinitas / La Jolla builds
  • Existing subcontractor relationships in San Diego / OC
  • Procore, PlanGrid, or similar software experience (in addition to Buildertrend)
  • Design-build fluency — you can read plans, understand engineering, and collaborate with architects
  • Track record of hitting project margins and schedule deadlines consistently
  • Create a job alert for this search
