Remote Construction Jobs in Santa Rosa, CA (NOW HIRING)

Los Angeles, CA | Full-Time | Southern California

Vine Homes Construction is a luxury design-build firm specializing in large-scale custom residential projects. We started as spec builders in Saint Helena and Yountville, earned the trust of leading architects and real estate professionals through our craftsmanship, and have grown into a full-service firm that takes projects from concept through completion.

With an established presence in Napa Valley, San Francisco, and the Peninsula, Vine Homes is expanding into Southern California, with a focus on projects throughout Los Angeles, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, the South Bay, Santa Barbara, and surrounding areas.

Our team is curated — not just hired. Our people are the foundation of our success, and we invest in keeping it that way. We're growing and building a team that can grow with us. If you take pride in your work, operate with integrity, and hold yourself to a high standard, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager / Estimator to join Vine Homes as we expand our Southern California operations. This position requires a strong background in high-end custom residential construction along with demonstrated estimating and preconstruction experience.

Initially, the role will focus primarily on estimating and preconstruction, working closely with our Northern California team on current and prospective projects. You'll develop detailed budgets, coordinate subcontractor and vendor pricing, evaluate bids, identify scope gaps, and help move projects successfully from preconstruction into construction.

As Southern California projects move into construction, the role will expand to include project management responsibilities while continuing to support estimating and preconstruction. You'll oversee projects from preconstruction through closeout, managing budgets, schedules, subcontractors, documentation, and coordination with clients and design teams.

This is an opportunity to join an established company at an important stage of growth and play a meaningful role in developing our Southern California presence.
