About The Position

We are a rapidly growing team in the residential construction space, expanding our operations into the Los Angeles market after 35+ years building in Silicon Valley. We design, navigate, and build premium, high-quality accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also known as backyard homes or granny flats, and we're focused on making a positive impact on California's housing crisis. Every Acton ADU is designed and built to a high standard, offering homeowners a long-term investment that serves their family and community for generations. These ADUs create accessible housing options across California while positively impacting lives, supporting aging parents, adult children, multigenerational living, and long-term family wealth. As we grow into Los Angeles, we're looking for experienced builders who want to help shape how we operate in a new market, with the backing of established processes, proven systems, and three decades of residential architecture, permitting, and construction expertise. Our culture is grounded in these core principles: Make a positive impact. We're driven by a higher purpose; every project changes a family's life and shapes a community. Empower each other. We're a team. We listen, we share information freely, and we set each other up to succeed. Encourage innovation. We embrace change to work smarter, not harder. Measure what's important. We track, document, and improve. Data drives decisions. Make measurable progress. We move with urgency, set deadlines, and follow through. Be candid. We give honest, respectful feedback and own our impact. Be a customer advocate. We represent the customer's voice in every decision. Help people thrive. We support each other's growth and success. The Project Manager / Site Supervisor is responsible for both project execution and on-site construction management for residential projects in the Los Angeles market.
