Director of Construction - Multifamily

Macdonald \& Company is exclusively retained by a growing real estate developer with an integrated in-house general contracting platform to appoint a Director of Construction.

This is an ideal step-up opportunity for a Senior Project Manager who wants to transition into a leadership role within an owner-led, vertically integrated environment, with a clear path to VP of Construction.

The Opportunity

You will be a key leader within the firm’s in-house GC, responsible for executing ground-up multifamily developments across Texas.

Unlike a traditional GC role, this position offers full alignment with ownership, giving you influence from early preconstruction through delivery, with a focus on long-term value creation, not just project turnover.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead execution of ground-up multifamily projects within the in-house GC platform
• Take ownership across preconstruction, estimating, subcontractor procurement, and field execution
• Work directly with development and ownership teams to align budget, design, and construction strategy
• Oversee and mentor Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams
• Drive cost control, scheduling, and quality across multiple active projects
• Build and strengthen subcontractor and vendor relationships across Texas
• Contribute to scaling and refining the in-house GC platform, processes, and team structure

What We’re Looking For

• 8–15\+ years of experience within a general contractor or in-house construction platform
• Strong track record delivering ground-up multifamily (podium, wrap, or high-density)
• Experience across preconstruction and full-cycle project execution
• Currently a Senior Project Manager or Construction Manager ready for a leadership step
• Strong operational mindset with the ability to run projects and develop people
• Entrepreneurial attitude, someone who wants to help build and scale a platform
