Project Manager, Residential Construction

Space Cowboy • Contract • Austin, Texas, United States • $85,000 - $140,000 / year • 2w ago

Space Cowboy is a Central Texas general contractor. We build backyard pickleball and

multi-use courts, pools, outdoor kitchens, decks, pergolas, and whole-home renovations

across Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country. We are based in Wimberley, rated 5.0

on Google, and we are growing faster than we can staff.

We need a Project Manager to run jobs.

**THE HONEST VERSION**

Finding work is not our problem. Getting it built is. We have more signed work than we

have people to run it, and that is the whole reason this posting exists. The ceiling on

this role is set by how much you can carry, not by a pay band somebody wrote down.

If you are the kind of PM who has been capped by a company that could not feed you

enough work, this is the opposite problem.

**WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY DO**

Run your jobs start to finish. Walk your sites. Line up subs, hold them to the scope,

and hold them to the schedule. Keep the client informed before they have to ask you for

an update. Document the work in CompanyCam as it happens. Catch the problem at framing

instead of at the walkthrough.

The client relationship is the job. Our reviews say we answer the phone and we

over-deliver. That reputation lives or dies with whoever is running the job, and that

would be you.

**WHAT WE BRING**

Dominic Watler, our founder, is your direct line. He is not a manager checking your

hours. He is a builder with the field knowledge to help you solve the thing at seven in

the morning and the standing to clear a roadblock the same day. His job is making you

successful. That is not a line on a job post, it is how this company runs.

A fuel card. Windshield time is on us.

Systems built for the field, not for an office. We run CompanyCam and JobTread, and we

are constantly rebuilding both so the paperwork gets out of your way instead of piling

on top of your day. You will mostly live in CompanyCam.

No set schedule. No micromanaging. Nobody bird-dogging you. Do the work, keep your jobs

and your clients in good shape, and how you run your week is yours.

**THE PAY**

This is a 1099 independent contractor position, paid on commission at 10% of hard cost

on the jobs you run. Fees are earned as your job draws, so you get paid alongside the

work instead of waiting on a closeout months out.

Realistic range for a PM carrying a normal load of concurrent jobs is $85,000 to

$140,000 a year. Take on more work and that number moves. No base salary, no hourly,

and no benefits. This is contractor work, and it is the right fit for somebody who

would rather be paid on output than on hours.

**WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR**

Real construction knowledge. You have been on jobsites long enough to know when a sub

is telling you what you want to hear. Residential remodel, outdoor living, concrete, or

general contracting backgrounds all fit.

Experience managing subcontractors. Scheduling them, holding them to scope, catching

bad work before the client does, and keeping a trade partner relationship healthy while

you do it.

Strong with clients. Clear communication, quick responses, and the judgment to know

what a homeowner needs to hear and when.

Comfortable with technology. Phone-based apps, photo documentation, digital scopes and

schedules. You do not need to be technical. You do need to be willing.

Grit. This is a job for somebody who wants to build something, not somebody looking for

a seat. There is real room here to grow as the company grows.

Valid driver license, reliable truck or vehicle, and the ability to be on jobsites

across Central Texas.

**HOW TO APPLY**

Email [email protected] with:

1. Your resume or a short rundown of your construction background

2. Two or three projects you ran, what the scope was, and what went sideways on one of them

3. Your general availability

No phone calls, please. We read every one that comes in and we will reach out to set up

a conversation.

Watler & Co LLC dba Space Cowboy is an equal opportunity company. We evaluate every

applicant on their work and their character.
