Bel Air Construction (Forest Hill), a nationally recognized Big 50 remodeling company, is now accepting applications from seasoned, take charge, Project Managers to join our team.

Position Overview:

The core mission of the Project Manager (PJM) is to lead, coach, and manage the people (Trade Partners (TPs), employees, suppliers and clients) to produce our remodeling projects on budget and on time and get a 5-Star review from the client.

Once the pre-construction meeting has occurred, you are 100% responsible for the timeliness, quality and profitability of the job. You are 100% responsible for owner relations, TP relations. You are to find solutions to the typical daily challenges every project faces.

Role Purpose:

The Project Manager (PJM) at Bel Air Construction (BAC) is a leadership role responsible for the complete execution of residential remodeling projects once pre-construction is complete. The PJM owns schedule, quality, profitability, client experience, and trade partner performance from project start through closeout.

This role is designed for a seasoned project manager who already demonstrates strong cultural alignment, leadership character, and an ownership mentality. Training will focus on BAC systems, Buildertrend, and BAC-specific execution standards — not on foundational values or work ethic.

“Our mission is to set the standard of excellence and integrity in the remodeling profession, enhancing lives by providing unequaled service.”

Bel Air Construction was founded in 1981 by owner Michael Watts with the vision of building a professional home remodeling company. Michael and his team accomplished this vision by focusing on superior craftsmanship and outstanding client experience. Along the way, Bel Air Construction’s commitment to quality has earned the team numerous industry awards including the most prestigious Remodeling’s Big 50 and Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 among many other awards.

Commitment to Excellence: Every team member at Bel Air Construction is committed to excellence in the remodeling field. Our process begins with the first consultation where we meet with home owners to complete a thorough needs analysis. During this meeting, our goal is to uncover more about each remodeling project and how the client envisions the remodeled space, room addition, or exterior remodel. After the needs analysis, we create a remodeling plan focused on creating a room or addition which meets or exceeds our client’s expectations – a plan that will make their dream a reality.

Superior Craftsmanship: For every home remodeling project from the kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, sunroom, deck addition, roof and more, we use the best building materials available. Additionally, each member of our well-trained staff attends ongoing training for his/her trade to ensure that the best in construction practices are used on each project.

Certified Graduate Remodelers: Michael Watts, owner of Bel Air Construction, was one of the first 10 Certified Graduate Remodelers (CGR) in the state of Maryland. The CGR program requires high standards of business practice and a proven track record of successfully completing projects.
