Construction Jobs in Austin, TX

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. This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.

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

As Construction Project Manager, you will own the delivery of our new factory buildout in Austin, TX. Serving as AHC’s day-to-day owner representative, you will manage our contracted general contractor, coordinate our in-house architecture, engineering, and manufacturing teams, and drive the project from preconstruction and permitting through construction, commissioning, and handover.

• Lead commissioning, punch-list completion, documentation, training, and turnover of building and process systems to operations.

• Provide leadership with a clear and accurate view of project status, risks, decisions, and forecasted cost and completion dates.
