A well-established, high-volume restaurant group is hiring a Director of Construction to lead the execution of ground-up builds and major remodels across its growing portfolio.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in the details. If your recent experience is centered on managing large teams, overseeing portfolios, or delegating execution, this will not be the right fit. This role is built for a construction leader who still reads plans, understands MEP systems, and takes personal ownership of the work.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own restaurant construction projects from post–site selection through opening
- Personally review architectural and MEP plans and catch issues before they become field problems
- Lead ground-up restaurant builds and major remodels in the $10M+ range
- Coordinate closely with architects, engineers, kitchen designers, contractors, and internal teams
- Navigate permitting and inspections with local jurisdictions
- Be present in the field, solve problems, and ensure execution quality in a lean team environment
Who This Role Is For
- A construction professional with direct full-service restaurant build experience
- Someone who enjoys being hands-on and accountable, not removed from execution
- A Senior Project Manager or Construction Manager ready to step into a Director-level role
- A leader looking for a long-term home (10–15 years) rather than a short stop
Who This Role Is Not For
- Candidates focused on real estate development or site selection
- Retail-only or hotel-only construction backgrounds
- Portfolio-level leaders who have been delegating execution for years
- Candidates seeking remote or hybrid work
Compensation
- Base salary: $160,000–$180,000, depending on experience
- Strong benefits package and long-term growth opportunity
