About National Development Group
NDG is a boutique general contracting firm specializing in high-end residential remodels and commercial tenant improvements across Ventura County and greater Los Angeles. We operate a sub-heavy model focused on quality, client relationships, and margin discipline — not volume. Our projects range from $50K to $1M+, and we are entering an active growth phase with several significant projects in our pipeline including a $1M+ residential remodel currently in precon.
We are a small, lean team. The person we hire will be employee #1 in a field leadership role — a genuine ground-floor opportunity to grow with the company and shape how the field operation runs.
The Role
This is a hands-on field leadership role. You will own everything that happens in the field — from mobilization through punch list. You will be the primary point of contact for subcontractors on active jobs, responsible for keeping schedules tight, materials flowing, and quality on point. The owner handles sales, bids, and client relationships. You handle the field.
This is not a desk job. You will be on sites, walking jobs, talking to subs, and solving problems in real time. At the same time, you need to be organized enough to run material procurement, track schedules, and communicate clearly back to the office.
Core Responsibilities
Field Supervision
Own the day-to-day field operations on all active jobs
Supervise and coordinate subcontractors — scheduling, sequencing, accountability
Conduct daily site walks and document progress, issues, and RFIs
Enforce quality standards consistent with high-end residential and commercial work
Coordinate inspections and ensure permit compliance
Scheduling & Procurement
Build and maintain project schedules from mobilization through closeout
Identify and order materials ahead of need — no waiting on the job for materials
Manage material deliveries, storage, and staging on site
Track submittals, lead times, and long-lead items proactively
Subcontractor Management
Source, vet, and onboard new subcontractors as needed
Issue scopes of work and coordinate sub bids with the office
Hold subs accountable to schedule, quality, and safety standards
Build and maintain strong sub relationships that benefit the company long-term
Communication & Reporting
Provide weekly schedule and progress updates to the owner
Flag problems early — no surprises
Coordinate with office on change orders, RFIs, and client-facing items
Maintain job site documentation including photos, daily logs, and delivery receipts
What We're Looking For
Required
8+ years of construction experience with meaningful field leadership responsibility
Strong high-end residential remodel experience — you understand the craft, the clients, and the details that matter
Proven ability to manage multiple subcontractors across trades simultaneously
Solid material procurement skills — you know how to spec, source, and order
Clean, reliable, professional — this person represents NDG on job sites in front of high-end clients
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Strong communication skills — written and verbal
Highly Preferred
Commercial tenant improvement experience in addition to residential
Existing sub relationships in the Ventura County / LA market
CA contractor's license (B or relevant C license) — or willingness to pursue
