Coding Director Jobs in Miami, FL (NOW HIRING)

Pre-Construction Director – Vertical Build, Renovation, Additions & Rehab

EDC Construction | South Florida | Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Performance Incentives - (compensation range will be based on the right candidate)

About Us

EDC is a general contracting firm based in South Florida. We are building something rare — a company with the certifications, the talent, and the operational discipline to compete for and win public and private contracts at the highest level. We are expanding and need a Construction Director who doesn’t just manage projects — they build departments, develop systems, and win work.

The Role

We are seeking a seasoned Construction Director to lead our Vertical Build, Renovation, Additions, and Rehab division. This is not a title role. This is a builder’s role. You will own the full lifecycle of construction operations — from how we find and price work, to how we win it, to how we deliver it profitably and on time.

You will report directly to the VP/Owner and serve as the operational backbone of this department.
