    Capstone Construction, Inc. will be a newly formed construction company affiliated with an established property management firm overseeing 800+ residential units across the Bay Area and Sacramento. We are hiring an experienced, licensed contractor to join us in building and growing this company, with a path to real ownership.

    This is not a typical job. The work is already in place: maintenance, repairs, unit turnovers, and full remodels across our managed portfolio, with room to grow into outside clients. What we need is the right operator to run the jobs, build the crew, and grow the business as an owner alongside us. We have an experienced business team and the tools to manage and scale the company. What we need is a partner who knows construction and can own that critical piece of the pie.

    What you'll do

    Handle repairs, turnovers, and remodels across our properties

    Run day-to-day field operations: scheduling, estimating, job walks, and quality control

    Manage subcontractors and build an in-house crew over time

    Work with us on pricing, budgeting, and growth strategy

    Help take the company from launch to a self-sustaining business

    Travel regularly across our service area: East Bay, North Bay, San Francisco, occasionally the South Bay, and along the I-80 corridor to Sacramento. Expect to be on the road between job sites most days.

    What we're looking for

    5+ years of hands-on construction experience: handyman, repair, remodel, or general contracting

    California B General Contractor license, or eligible to obtain one (strongly preferred)

    Working knowledge of California building codes, permits, and compliance requirements

    Experience estimating, bidding, and managing construction contracts

    Ability to manage multiple jobs and subcontractors at once

    Strong leadership and communication skills, comfortable dealing directly with clients

    Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and your own tools

    Someone who wants to build something of their own, not just collect a paycheck

    Willing and able to travel across the Bay Area and Sacramento regularly, including some early starts and long drives

    Compensation

    Base salary: $85,000 to $115,000 per year

    Ownership equity in Capstone Construction, Inc., starting at hire and increasing over time as the company hits performance milestones

    Health benefits and paid time off

    Why this is different

    Most contractors spend their first years chasing leads and fighting for work. You would start with a built-in pipeline from day one, plus back-office support for accounting, admin, and systems. You focus on the work, we handle the rest.
