Project Manager - Residential ADUs

Project Manager - Residential ADUs
Run your own projects. Build for a winning team. Get paid for performance.
South Shore & South Coast of Massachusetts | Full-time Field-based
This is the rare Project Manager role where you run the whole show, build work that genuinely matters to families, and get paid like the results are yours - because they are.
Total earning potential: $195,000-$245,000+ per year
Competitive base salary plus an uncapped, performance-based bonus.
The Role
BuildX is hiring experienced Project Managers to run residential Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) projects from the first site visit through final completion. An ADU is a complete home in miniature: permitting, site work, septic, utilities, foundation, framing, mechanicals, finishes, and closeout - all compressed into a tight, high-accountability schedule.
This is a demanding role for someone who already knows how to run ground-up residential construction from start to finish. You will own the budget, schedule, subcontractor coordination, quality, and customer relationship. This is not a training role; we need a manager who can walk onto a site and know what should be happening, what comes next, and how to keep the job moving.
Run Your Own Show
At BuildX, the Project Manager owns the project. You carry the job from drawings to certificate of occupancy and make the calls that get it done. Your schedule. Your subcontractors. Your budget. Your client. We hire people we can trust to run their work like it is their own business - and then give them room to do it.
If you have always known you could run it better if it were yours to run, this is that seat.
A Winning Organization
BuildX is a design-build ADU company serving Massachusetts' South Shore and South Coast. We delivered the first ADU completed under Massachusetts' Affordable Homes Act, taking a family from groundbreaking to move-in in roughly ten weeks. We build to a fixed price and a 100-day build guarantee from groundbreaking. Our standards are high, our timelines are real, and we are growing fast.
