About The Position

Sunset Stucco & Exteriors is a commercial subcontractor based in Salem, OR, specializing in waterproofing, sheet metal, EIFS, stucco, and siding systems. They build high-performance building envelopes for commercial, multi-family, and mixed-use projects and are currently in a growth phase.

The role involves leading the PM team, holding field crews and subs accountable, protecting margins, growing the backlog, and reporting directly to ownership. The ultimate goal is to build a business that operates on systems and structure rather than relying on a single individual.
