Project Executive - Luxury Residential Construction

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 Miami 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. The firm operates with a quality-over-quantity philosophy, intentionally limiting project volume to ensure best-in-class execution, discretion, and client satisfaction.

This is a compelling opportunity for a senior professional currently active in Miami’s luxury residential market who brings an existing book of business, deep subcontractor relationships, and the vision to build and lead a high-performing team over time.

This role will function as the senior leader for the Miami operation, effectively managing a regional branch of the business. The individual will have full responsibility for project delivery, client relationships, financial performance, quality control, and long-term growth of the platform.

The Senior Construction Project Manager will operate with meaningful autonomy while receiving strong support from ownership, estimating, and field leadership. A critical component of this role is serving as the strategic steward of quality—setting the vision, standards, and processes for QA/QC across all projects and ensuring flawless execution from pre-construction through turnover.

• Proactively identify constructibility issues and develop creative, outside-the-box solutions to complex design, material, and site challenges
• Provide senior oversight of permitting and regulatory processes
• Business Development & Client Relationships
• Leverage an existing book of business to source and secure new luxury residential projects
• Maintain and grow trusted relationships with:
• High-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth homeowners
• Owner’s representatives and family offices
• Leading architects and interior designers
• Elite luxury residential subcontractors and specialty suppliers
• Identify and cultivate new opportunities to support sustained regional growth while preserving discretion and confidentiality
• Team & Branch Leadership
• Serve as the senior leader for our client’s Miami luxury residential platform
• Build, mentor, and scale a dedicated project management and field team over time
• Collaborate closely with estimating, field leadership, and ownership on strategy and execution
• Set clear expectations and accountability standards while fostering a collaborative, people-first culture
• Quality, Safety & Culture
• Uphold best-in-class standards for craftsmanship, execution, and attention to detail
• Ensure job site safety and a culture where people, quality, and long-term relationships come first
• Lead with professionalism, integrity, discretion, and a long-term ownership mindset

Role Requirements:
• 15+ years of experience in ultra-high-end luxury residential construction, particularly single-family residences
• Proven delivery of $7M–$50M+ custom homes, penthouses, and complex residential projects
• Deep expertise in luxury materials, finishes, and premium residential brands (kitchen, bath, lighting, millwork, stone, and specialty systems)
• Strong working knowledge of specialty low-voltage and smart home systems, including CCTV, access control, automation, and custom hardware
• Demonstrated ability to lead QA/QC at a visionary level, anticipating issues before they arise and driving continuous improvement
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a creative, solutions-oriented mindset
• Strong understanding of the privacy, anonymity, and discretion required by high-net-worth luxury homeowners
• Active relationships with Miami’s top-tier luxury residential subcontractors and suppliers
• Well-established ties to architects, designers, owner’s representatives, and high-net-worth clients
