About The Position

Ideal Siding Durham is hiring a full-time Construction Project Manager to support both the sales and operations side of the business. This is a hands-on role for someone who can build trust with homeowners, help move projects through the early sales process, and then oversee execution in the field from start to finish. You will attend initial meetings with homeowners, support estimates and project planning, and help take some of the client-facing workload off the franchise owner. Once jobs are sold, you will help keep them on track by coordinating crews, ordering materials, monitoring timelines, solving problems, and maintaining a strong customer experience throughout the project. This role is ideal for someone who understands residential construction, is comfortable in front of clients, and can shift between sales conversations, site visits, and day-to-day project management without falling apart by Tuesday.
