Residential Construction Project Manager

HoneyDew Improvements • Glendale, WI

14h • Onsite

About The Position

HoneyDew Improvements is a family-owned, design-build remodeling company serving Milwaukee's North Shore. The Residential Construction Project Manager will own residential remodeling projects from preconstruction handoff through final completion, managing schedules, budgets, trade partners, materials, client communication, and jobsite quality while anticipating and resolving challenges. Projects typically range from approximately $50,000 to $200,000 or more.

This hands-on leadership role divides time between the Glendale office and residential job sites throughout Milwaukee's North Shore. The Project Manager will review plans, takeoffs, and budgets before construction, providing construction insight and a second set of eyes rather than acting as the primary estimator. As an early addition to a growing internal team, the role will also help shape project systems, standard operating procedures, and best practices.

This is a full-time, in-person W-2 position. The typical schedule is Monday through Friday, approximately 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with occasional additional hours as project needs require. The base salary is $65,000–$100,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications, with eligibility for quarterly performance bonuses. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k), and paid time off.
