Job Description

PROJECT EXECUTIVE

Vancouver, WA | Reports to: General Manager | $150,000 - $195,000+ (base + performance incentives)

Lead Deacon's expansion into Southwest Washington. Build something meaningful.

We're not looking for someone to fill a seat. We're looking for a construction leader who wants to help shape a new market for a company that genuinely cares about its people. If you've built a career managing complex projects and developing strong teams, and you're ready for real ownership and autonomy, let's talk.

Why This Role Is Different

• True ownership: You'll lead operations in a growing market with the backing of a 40+ year company.
• Growth trajectory: As Vancouver grows, so does your opportunity.
• People-first culture: We promote from within. Many of our leaders started in the field or as PMs. We invest in our people because that's how we all succeed.
• Impact: You'll mentor future leaders, build client relationships, and shape how Deacon is known in this market.

What You'll Actually Do

• Lead multiple projects from preconstruction through closeout—owning quality, safety, schedule, and financial performance
• Build and lead your team: PMs, engineers, superintendents, and field crews
• Develop lasting relationships with owners, architects, and trade partners, be the trusted face of Deacon
• Partner with preconstruction and business development to pursue and win new work
• Coach and develop your people—performance feedback, career growth, and building future leaders
• Representing Deacon in the local community through industry involvement and relationship-building

Who You Are

• 15+ years of progressive construction experience—you've managed large, complex projects (multifamily, commercial, mixed-use)
• You've built and led teams, not just managed tasks—you develop people
• Strong technical chops: project controls, cost management, scheduling, risk assessment
• Clients trust you. Subs respect you. Your reputation precedes you.
• You know the Vancouver/Portland market (or you're ready to make it your home)
• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, or related field

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary: $150,000 - $195,000+, depending on experience
• Performance-based incentives tied to project and company success
• Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, life insurance
• Vehicle allowance
• A company that genuinely promotes from within and invests in your growth
