Senior Construction Project Manager
Residential Construction / Outdoor Living Design-Build
Construction Leadership Opportunity
Sequence has been exclusively retained to recruit a Senior Construction Manager for one of Florida’s premier residential landscape and outdoor living design/build organizations.
This represents an outstanding opportunity for an experienced residential construction leader who enjoys overseeing complex projects, developing high-performing field teams, and delivering exceptional craftsmanship across distinctive residential environments.
Reporting to senior operational leadership, the Construction Manager, slated to be based in the organization’s Orlando, Florida operation supporting projects throughout the surrounding Central Florida region, will oversee the successful execution of multiple residential construction and outdoor living projects while coordinating field personnel, subcontractors, equipment, schedules, materials, and client communication.
