Build Your Future While Building Trust

At 1st Choice Builders, we deliver more than beautiful homes — we deliver peace of mind, quality, and trust. We’re scaling quickly and preparing for major growth, and we need a General Manager / Operations Manager who’s ready to step up, lead, and shape the next stage of our journey.

This role isn’t just about running operations — it’s about building a leadership career. You’ll be backed by a leadership mentor / HR consultant to help you grow as a manager, while you mentor and coach our project managers, designers, and carpenters.

Whether you’re an experienced leader in construction or an up-and-coming high-potential ready to step into your first big leadership role, this opportunity is about growing together.

What You’ll Do

  • Oversee daily project operations : scheduling, quality, client satisfaction.
  • Coach and mentor PMs, site leads, and designers toward SMART goal success.
  • Build and roll out systems for estimating, scheduling, onboarding, and closeout.
  • Take ownership of 2-week lookahead scheduling across all projects.
  • Partner with ownership to free them from day-to-day coordination.
  • Work directly with a leadership mentor to develop your own management skills.

What We’re Looking For

  • Path 1 : Experienced Leader – 7+ years in construction / remodeling leadership, proven ability to scale systems and lead teams.
  • Path 2 : High-Potential Up-and-Comer – 4–6 years in construction project management or site leadership, hungry for growth, ready to step into bigger shoes.
  • Strong communicator, problem-solver, proactive decision-maker.
  • Values-driven : Customers First, Quality with Speed, Take Control of the Outcome.

    • Why Join Us?

  • Become the 'right-hand' leader in a growing company.
  • Formal leadership mentoring provided (with HR consultant / coach).
  • Competitive pay + performance incentives.
  • Opportunity to shape culture and systems from the ground up.
  • Work in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley community.

    • How to Apply

    Send your resume and a short note telling us : Are you the proven leader who’s done this before, or the high-potential ready to take the leap?

    Benefits

    We’re a tight-knit, growing company that values both skill and personality—we want the right people on our team who care about their craft and enjoy working with others. At 1st Choice Builders , our reputation is built on quality workmanship, trust, and long-term relationships with both employees and customers.
