- 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 Manager , you will own the buildout of our new factory — the physical foundation of everything we make. You will manage our general contractor, coordinate our in-house architecture and engineering team, and drive the project from preconstruction and permitting through construction, commissioning, and handover — delivering a safe, on-budget, on-schedule facility built to scale into full-rate production.
- 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
- Hold the GC accountable for site safety and code compliance — OSHA, NFPA, EPA, fire marshal, and local inspections
- Establish and track KPIs for schedule adherence, budget variance, and construction quality
- Drive commissioning, punch list closeout, and turnover of all building and process systems to operations
- Candidates must be based in or ready to relocate to Austin, TX full-time.
- As AHC scales, this role has the opportunity to expand into broader construction management roles across the company
- AHC provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs.
