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.
- You will be measured above all on delivering projects on time, on budget, and at high quality, with no surprises.
Responsibilities
- Engage from diligence. Partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, so we only take on projects we can deliver
- Own each project end to end as the single point of accountability, from diligence through design, production, install, and field construction, to a home accepted by Sales as ready for sale
- Own the schedule. Build and maintain the critical path across design, factory, install, and field, and drive momentum through every handoff
- Own the budget. Manage each project to its approved cost, track cost-to-complete, protect margin, and release spend only when scope is complete and quality standards are met
- Own risk. Spot problems early, size them, and drive mitigation before they compound, holding the line on the standard product rather than absorbing scope creep
- Help build the process and the system of record for performance. Stand up the stage gates, handoff standards, and reporting that track schedule, cost, quality, and risk, and be the single source of truth for project performance
- Align factory output and site readiness so the whole chain moves as one, and own both handoffs: a clean brief in from the land team, a documented, ready-for-sale home out to Sales
- Drive quality and drive down punch and rework, holding every stage to scope and standard through checklists, gates, and field verification
- Partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, so we only take on projects we can deliver
- This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.
Requirements
- A track record of owning projects end to end and delivering them on time, on budget, and to standard, not just executing one phase
- Proficiency with schedule and project management tools (e.g., Procore, ACC, MS Project, etc.) and comfort with Google Workspace
- This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting directly to the CEO, with a clear path to grow as you prove you can carry projects at volume.
- 8+ years delivering complex residential or construction projects, with direct budget-and-schedule ownership across multiple functions (production homebuilding, manufactured or modular housing, or vertically integrated development strongly preferred)
- Experience building process and structure where little existed, standing up the gates, playbooks, and reporting that let a team deliver consistently at volume
- Comfortable with metrics and reporting. You help build the system of record, track performance rigorously, and use data to drive decisions rather than react to them
Nice to have
- Bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, business, or a related discipline preferred, not required
Benefits
- AHC provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs
Company info
- 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.
