A leadership opportunity has emerged with an up-and-coming Charleston builder that’s experienced rapid production growth and anticipates expansion into new markets. Over a few short years, this company has garnered attention from national and local business publications, as well as the trade press, for the pace of its success. It’s also received awards for design, technology and its model homes. The new operations manager will have the chance to join this expanding company’s headquarters, reporting directly to its ownership.

This executive will direct all construction activities while leading a team of project managers and supporting staff in purchasing and warranty administration. This team will oversee permitting, trade-partner relationships, quality control, closing and construction customer satisfaction while ensuring close coordination with sales managers. With P&L responsibility for new homes, the operations manager also will create and shape policies to improve the construction process. At the same time, he or she will be responsible for the hiring and development of construction professionals.

The role requires deep experience in residential single-family homebuilding. Candidates’ prior roles also should demonstrate substantial management responsibilities, including oversight of employees. Additionally, this leader will need to communicate exceptionally well with all stakeholders in the homebuilding process, from customers and vendors to the company’s top leadership.

Christopher Frederick Search Consultants, a trusted national executive search firm, has been retained to help find the right leader to join this promising name in South Carolina home building.
