You’ve built an excellent reputation and a proven track record within the construction industry.
You’ve been recognized for and are respected for your accomplishments.
Still, you find yourself looking for new challenges and opportunities—a sense of purpose, even.
Vecino Construction is in the process of hiring a Project Manager. Yes, the job will bring financial opportunities. But we know money alone isn’t the decider for a future Vecino Construction team member. What we offer in terms of purpose, culture and direction however, very often is.
You can check out our website and get a sense of us. But what you’d find in talking to any member of our company is that there is a universal “why“ driving what we do. We’re a group who decided that our business is to make the world a better place, one community, one real estate development at a time. To ensure that doesn’t become just a catch phrase, we also hold ourselves to what we call the gut check. That means: if a Vecino Construction project doesn’t address a broader issue, impact a community, set an example, give back, and inspire everyone working on it with a greater sense of purpose, we won’t do the deal.
As one might imagine, this has helped us attract a certain kind of person—genuine, good human beings who could help us maintain a negativity-free workplace. If kindness does not come naturally to you, Vecino is not your landing spot.
We have brick and mortar offices in Springfield MO, Troy NY, Atlanta GA and Salt Lake City UT. This position will be located in Atlanta, GA. Starting specifically on a project site in Hawkinsville GA.
We believe in an Integrated Project Delivery approach and partner with our own in-house Developers, Architects, Engineers, Creative and Interior Design teams to form the Vecino Group on all our projects. This model better allows us to produce the types of projects in-line with our mission and is helpful with scaling and profitability.
We are an equal opportunity company and pride ourselves on attracting the best team members of all walks of life. We believe that our teams should represent the communities we do business in and this policy helps lead us in our success.
The Vecino Group takes a collaborative approach to development. This means construction is involved at the very beginning of a project; the team can lean into their strengths and focus on what they are best at. As a company, we specialize in Affordable housing, Student Housing, and Public Private Partnerships and are now 70+ employees in multiple states. As a key part of a fully integrated development company with three nationwide lines of business could take your experience to the next level.
We have a unique culture and approach to Construction and Development that we would love to discuss with a qualified candidate. We are growing at an accelerated rate, which creates unique opportunities within the Vecino Group.
So.
