MDC Homes is a fast-growing custom home builder serving the greater Chattanooga area, known for delivering high-quality homes with an exceptional, high-trust client experience. MDC is intentionally raising the bar in residential construction through clear scope, honest pricing, and proactive communication—and is scaling quickly as a result.

The Lead Project Manager is a hands-on leadership role responsible for driving quality, schedule, and budget performance across MDC’s custom home portfolio. This person will lead and support the Project Manager team, strengthen project execution, and ensure jobs are properly set up before construction begins.

Ideal Background

• 10+ years of residential construction PM experience (custom homes strongly preferred)
• Deep understanding of construction sequencing and job costing

• • Strong leadership presence, organization, and client-facing professionalism
