Sr. Construction Manager

Bolt Farm Treehouse is looking for a results-oriented, extremely driven, leadership-focused Sr. Construction Manager to oversee and facilitate the company’s expansion at its flagship location on Whitwell Mountain, then expanding into several new locations around the USA. The mission of this role is to build the world’s best glamping development machine by maximizing all efficiencies throughout each build. Your goal will be to ensure all construction projects are completed on time and to Bolt Farm’s luxury hospitality standards of excellence. Unlike hotels built in metro areas where supplies and labor are plentiful, building in gorgeous remote areas present a new array of challenges. If you are a resourceful problem solver and you do whatever it takes to keep the job on the critical path, this position was designed for you.

Careful with details, construction ideology, and local codes, yet aggressive about rapid implementation and operational efficiency, the ultimate candidate will loath routine work and thrive in a more intense, sprint-paced environment. Speed to completion is your M.O. Simply put, you love your work, you are competitive, and you are best-in-class at planning, executing, and managing the trades required to get the job done.

Not for everyone, but perfect for the right person; this job requires living on or near the property during construction, estimated to last 4-6 months. We drive hard and at full speed during construction, then we exhale, rest and celebrate the victory once it’s complete. Days off and the occasional long weekend are permissible during the building phase. You will be able to take PTO after construction is complete.

It’s a big job with a lot of responsibility and big rewards for successful outcomes. Keep reading if you have what it takes to get the job done…
