Project Manager for Luxury Custom Homes and Remodels

Hardwick General Contracting

Maitland, FL (Travel to Local Project Sites Required)

Hardwick General Contracting is seeking a Project Manager to manage the budgets, purchasing, schedules, documentation, subcontractor and vendor coordination, and client communication and follow-through while ensuring each project is completed on time and to company quality standards. This is a full-time, in-person position reporting directly to the Director of Operations.

This role is approximately 75% office work and 25% field work. It is NOT a Construction Manager or Field Superintendent position. The primary responsibility is detailed project scheduling, administration and financial coordination, working closely with our field construction team and customers. This position requires demonstrated experience managing residential construction budgets, purchasing, schedules, and project administration. The role is primarily office-based rather than focused on daily field supervision

We welcome residential purchasing agents, purchasing managers, project managers, and experienced project administrators or coordinators with strong technical knowledge of how a house is built (from sitework and foundation through final finishes and closeout). Candidates must understand residential plans, construction methods, trade scopes, and sequencing well enough to identify missing scope, recognize scheduling conflicts, and make informed purchasing and budgeting decisions. Experience independently managing residential budgets, purchasing, schedules, and project documentation is essential. Direct luxury custom home or high-end residential remodeling experience is required; commercial-only or administrative experience without this construction knowledge does not meet the requirements.

Hardwick General Contracting is a family-owned residential construction company serving Central Florida since 2004. Our core values are Uncompromised Quality, Communication, Transparency, and Innovation.

• Maintain current to-do lists and issue logs; proactively follow up on overdue tasks, missing information, selections, and approvals.
• Provide clear, timely communication and progress updates to homeowners, trade partners, suppliers, designers, and leadership.
