About the role

  • The American Dream is built, not inherited.
  • We're hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America.

Responsibilities

  • Own delivery of our new factory buildout - manage the general contractor and coordinate our in-house architecture and engineering team, from preconstruction through commissioning
  • Own construction coordination and installation of all base building and process systems, built to the in-house design: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, compressed air, dust collection, life safety, and process utilities
  • Coordinate permitting and inspections with the in-house design team and authorities having jurisdiction - keeping approvals off the critical path
  • Execute the facility layout in partnership with manufacturing engineering to support material flow, line balance, and future expansion
  • Own the construction schedule - track critical path, manage milestones, and hold the GC and vendors accountable to the plan
  • Own the project budget - track costs, review the GC's buyout and change orders, and identify savings without compromising schedule or safety
  • Drive commissioning, punch list closeout, and turnover of all building and process systems to operations
  • Strong working knowledge of building and process systems: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural, life safety, and process utilities - with sharp constructability judgment
  • This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.
  • As Construction Manager, you will own the buildout of our new factory - the physical foundation of everything we make.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in construction management or project management - ideally in a manufacturing, industrial, or heavy production environment
  • Proven track record managing a general contractor and vendors - including contract administration, change-order management, and schedule control
  • Proven track record managing multi-million dollar capital construction budgets
  • Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Candidates must be based in or ready to relocate to Austin, TX full-time.
  • Direct experience leading a factory or industrial buildout from greenfield or fit-out through commissioning and ramp

Nice to have

  • Proficient with construction management software and scheduling tools
  • CAD or facility-planning tools a plus
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a related technical discipline preferred, not required
  • PE, PMP, CCM, or LEED certification a plus

Benefits

  • AHC provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs.

Company info

  • As AHC scales, this role has the opportunity to expand into broader construction management roles across the company
  • The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve America's housing crisis through all-out production.
  • We believe that America's affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers.
