Residential Operations Manager

Timberline Construction Group LLC•Asheville, NC

11d•$90,000 - $110,000•Onsite

About The Position

Timberline Construction Group is seeking an experienced Residential Reconstruction Operations Manager to lead high-volume residential reconstruction operations throughout the Asheville and Western North Carolina area. This is not a traditional single-site construction management role. The right candidate must have a strong background specifically in residential reconstruction, including demolition, site preparation, rebuilds, inspections, closeout, and warranty. We are seeking someone who has successfully overseen a portfolio of 20+ active residential reconstruction sites at one time and understands how to keep multiple projects moving simultaneously while maintaining control of schedule, cost, quality, documentation, and field execution. This individual must also be highly tech-savvy and comfortable using construction management systems, digital reporting tools, Microsoft 365, electronic documentation, project tracking platforms, photos, schedules, and other technology used to manage a large multi-site reconstruction portfolio. You will take ownership of residential reconstruction projects from demolition and site preparation through vertical reconstruction, final punch, closeout, and warranty. This is more than managing homes. You will lead a complex, fast-moving reconstruction operation where strong field leadership, technology, organization, accountability, and decision-making directly impact the communities we serve.
