Our SelectLeaders client, a privately owned high-end General Contracting and Construction Management firm, is seeking a Project Executive of Luxury Residential Construction, internally called a Senior Construction Project Manager to lead and grow its Los Angeles luxury residential platform.
Our client specializes exclusively in ultra-high-end residential construction, delivering custom single-family homes, penthouses, and select residential-focused mixed-use projects.
