Position Title: Vice President of Construction

Location: Union, NJ

Industry: Real Estate Development – Ground-Up Luxury Multifamily & Mixed-Use

Employment Type: Full-Time

Reports To: President / Principal

About the Company

Our client is a privately held real estate development firm based in Union, NJ, specializing in ground-up luxury stick-frame multifamily and mixed-use residential developments. The firm is known for delivering high-quality buildings on aggressive timelines, with a fully integrated model that includes acquisition, development, construction, and property management.

Position Overview

This is not a desk job and not an Owner’s Rep role. Our client is seeking a hands-on, in-the-field Vice President of Construction to directly lead construction activities across multiple ground-up projects.

The ideal candidate has extensive in-field construction management experience coupled with a strong background in purchasing and procurement, and knows how to push schedules, manage subcontractors, and drive performance on-site. You’ll lead internal teams, coordinate trades, and ensure accountability every step of the way—from site prep to final punch list.

This is a leadership role for a true builder who knows how to run construction—not just from behind a desk, but with boots on the ground. You must bring the energy, urgency, and grit required to keep jobs moving, solve field challenges, and drive quality and performance through to final delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day construction activities across multiple active ground-up stick-frame multifamily and mixed-use sites
• Maintain a strong presence in the field—regularly walk jobs, lead site meetings, and resolve issues in real time
• Manage field superintendents, site staff, and project managers to ensure efficient job execution
• Drive project schedules, push critical path items, and hold subcontractors accountable for timely performance
• Oversee procurement of labor, materials, and equipment—ensuring nothing delays production
• Coordinate with design, engineering, and development teams on field implementation
• Review and manage scopes, subcontract agreements, and construction timelines
• Implement and enforce jobsite safety, quality control, and construction standards
• Lead weekly site coordination meetings and owner/GC update sessions
• Track project budgets, change orders, and job costs in collaboration with internal teams
• Ensure all work meets regulatory, code, and inspection requirements
• Serve as the key field decision-maker, reporting progress and challenges to company leadership

Qualifications

• Minimum 15 years of hands-on construction experience, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership role managing ground-up stick-frame multifamily residential projects
• Proven ability to drive production in the field, not just manage from an office
• Strong scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and site management experience
• Deep understanding of residential construction methods, field sequencing, and code compliance
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
• Ability to lead with urgency, motivate teams, and push schedules to meet tight deadlines
• Experience managing construction budgets from $20M to $100M+
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or related field preferred
• Proficient in Procore, MS Project, and construction management tools

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive six-figure base salary (based on experience)
• Annual performance-based bonus
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with employer match
• PTO and paid holidays
• Long-term growth opportunity with a developer-builder committed to quality and execution

To Apply:

Please submit a resume and relevant project portfolio showcasing hands-on leadership of stick-frame multifamily developments.
