## Job description

The American Housing Corporation is solving America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We are a vertically integrated homebuilder that buys land, manufactures homes, installs them, and sells them directly to customers. The American Dream is built, not inherited. We’re hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America.

As Construction Manager, you will own day-to-day field execution across AHC’s Austin infill projects, delivering homes safely, on schedule, within budget, and to our quality standards. Reporting to the Director of Construction, you will manage multiple active sites, lead trade partners, and work closely with our installation team to align site readiness, building installation, and finish-out.

As our first Construction Manager in Austin, you will help establish how AHC runs its jobsites as we grow. This role requires a hands-on builder who combines the discipline of volume homebuilding with a practical understanding of infill construction, takes pride in clean and well-run sites, and builds strong working relationships with teammates, trades, and neighbors.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Manage field construction across multiple infill sites, from demolition, site preparation, utilities, and foundations through finish-out and final delivery.
- Own field schedules, secure trade commitments, anticipate labor and material needs, and execute recovery plans to meet cycle-time and completion targets.
- Plan site readiness and installation sequencing jointly with the installation team, including foundation readiness, deliveries, access, staging, and trade coordination. Complete joint readiness checks before mobilization and documented handoffs into finish-out, with clear ownership of outstanding work.
- Direct trade partners and coordinate suppliers, holding them accountable for scope, schedule, workmanship, and site standards while maintaining productive working relationships.
- Control field costs against approved budgets, verify completed work for payment, and track changes and projected overruns.
- Enforce site safety and quality standards. Inspect work against approved plans and specifications, coordinate required inspections, and resolve deficiencies before they create rework or delay subsequent trades.
- Maintain a consistently high standard of jobsite cleanliness, organization, security, and presentation throughout construction. Enforce daily cleanup, orderly material storage, debris removal, and upkeep of fencing and signage; coordinate safe, presentable conditions for scheduled buyer and partner visits.
- Serve as AHC’s day-to-day field contact in the community. Communicate disruptive work in advance, address concerns promptly, and manage noise, dust, parking, deliveries, and access to minimize disruption and protect adjacent properties.
- Drive punch-list completion, final inspections, certificates of occupancy, and coordinated handover to sales and homeowners, delivering complete, clean, move-in-ready homes.
- Maintain accurate daily logs, progress photos, schedule updates, and cost documentation. Escalate risks early and share field feedback with design, production, installation, and purchasing to improve quality, cost, and cycle times.

## QUALIFICATIONS

- 4+ years of residential construction experience, including responsibility for field delivery as a Construction Manager, Superintendent, or equivalent.
- Proven experience with a production or high-volume homebuilder, managing multiple homes simultaneously and consistently meeting schedule, budget, and quality targets.
- Strong practical understanding of urban infill construction, including constrained sites, utility coordination, limited staging, and work within established residential neighborhoods.
- Ability to interpret construction drawings and trade scopes, sequence work, coordinate inspections, and resolve field issues across all phases of residential construction.
- Strong field leadership and communication skills, with the ability to hold trades accountable, collaborate with internal teams, and represent AHC professionally with neighbors, inspectors, and buyers.
- Willingness to learn AHC’s building system, adopt shared processes, and help improve how work moves between installation and field completion.
- Proficiency with construction scheduling and project management software; experience with Procore and Smartsheet preferred.
- Direct experience with City of Austin permitting and inspections, established local trade relationships, and townhome or attached residential construction experience preferred.

## ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- Candidates must be based in Austin, TX full-time.
- This role requires working outdoors in varying weather conditions and manually lifting and moving construction materials as needed.
- AHC provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs.

## About The American Housing Corporation

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: The American Housing Corporation is a vertically integrated real estate developer and housing manufacturer that industrializes homebuilding to deliver beautiful, attainable starter homes in America’s most dynamic cities.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed stage, backed by venture capital)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Riley Meik (CEO), Bobby Fijan, Harris Rothaermel, and William Davis

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Housing manufacturing, real estate development, construction technology
- **Target Customers**: Homebuyers and renters seeking high-quality, moderately priced starter homes in growing U.S. cities; also partners with developers and landowners through joint ventures
- **Mission/Purpose**: “Saving the American Dream” by solving the “Missing Middle” housing crisis — bringing an abundance of beautiful starter homes to the nation’s most dynamic cities and neighborhoods

## Products & Services
- **Rowhomes (Proprietary Kit-of-Parts)**: A prefabricated building system designed for mass production, low-cost shipping (each component fits in intermodal shipping containers), and rapid on-site assembly (homes assembled in days). These are conventional, code-compliant homes available for purchase or rent.
- **Alamo (Internal Software Platform)**: An end-to-end orchestration platform that manages the entire development stack — from underwriting and site planning to factory production and on-site assembly.
- **Factory Manufacturing**: Custom machines and tools engineered in-house to automate production and ensure consistent quality for every major building component.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (Pre-Seed stage)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — Pre-Seed round completed with 1 investor (amount undisclosed); individual real estate projects financed through private real estate capital
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by “leading venture capital firms” (parent company); specific investors not disclosed. Notable alumni from: Meta, Aro Homes, Saronic Technologies, Hustle Fund, Starlight Labs
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Headcount growth: +16.7% monthly growth, from ~10 employees to 14 (LinkedIn data)
  - First factory opened in Austin in 2025; pipeline includes Texas, New Mexico, California, Washington, and Montana
  - 6 active job postings as of mid-2025 (despite -14.3% quarterly decline)
  - Strong hiring signal for engineering, design, and manufacturing roles

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical Integration**: Owns every step — land acquisition, factory production, logistics, software, and on-site assembly — giving unprecedented control over quality, cost, speed, and aesthetics
- **Proprietary Building System**: Kit-of-parts designed for mass production, shipping in standard intermodal containers, and assembly in days
- **Custom Software (Alamo)**: Orchestrates the entire development stack, creating a proprietary data and workflow moat
- **Factory Automation**: Custom machines and tools built in-house to automate production and ensure consistent quality
- **Focus on the “Missing Middle”**: Targeting a critical market gap — high-quality starter homes in dynamic urban areas — that traditional homebuilders and manufactured housing have not solved

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale Factory Production**: Expanding factory capacity to produce components at volume
- **Geographic Expansion**: Active pipeline in Texas, New Mexico, California, Washington, and Montana
- **Partnerships with Developers**: Joint ventures with landowners and developers to accelerate land acquisition and project development
- **Product Iteration**: First collection of rowhomes is in development (no custom homebuilding); aiming for purchase and rental availability upon completion
- **Hiring for Core Engineering**: Actively recruiting Senior Software Engineers (Alamo), Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, and Architects to build the technology and factory systems

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Mission**: “Housing is the cornerstone of the American Dream” — a mission-driven team of engineers, builders, and architects tackling one of the world’s most neglected engineering frontiers
- **Work Environment**: Headquarters in Austin, TX; roles span Design, Manufacturing, Engineering, Software, and Real Estate. The company emphasizes “building beautiful things that shape the lives of millions”
- **Engineering Focus**: Opportunity to work on complex problems at national scale — from custom factory automation and mechanical engineering to building a full-stack software platform (Alamo) that orchestrates real estate development
- **Team Profile**: Small, founder-heavy team (5 founders out of 14 total); lean, high-autonomy environment; talent drawn from Meta, Aro Homes, Saronic Technologies, and Hustle Fund
- **Perks/Policy**: Not explicitly stated, but the Austin HQ and factory presence suggest a hybrid/onsite model for manufacturing and engineering roles; software roles may offer flexibility
- **Notable**: Company has a strong engineering culture — job postings for Senior Software Engineer, Director of Mechanical Engineering, and Lead Mechanical Engineer, Building Shell
