Director Of Construction Management

Who We Are:

We are a growing, best-in-class team of real estate entrepreneurs. At DLC, we strongly believe in Entrepreneurial Citizenship. We are here to succeed, but we know that the most significant rewards demand that every teammate works together to help one another. Each role is critical, but we accomplish far more by helping each other as a team than acting as individuals. We are looking for new teammates who are:

• Unstoppable – You welcome challenges and do not give up when a situation looks bleak or unsolvable. You know there are critical times when the only way to achieve optimal results is by committing to and taking the necessary extra steps.
• Agile – You move quickly, easily, and flexibly in response to changing situations and the needs of your clients and teammates. You are first in line to facilitate the needed changes when a problem can be improved.
• Genuine – You are self-confident, but you don't have an ego. You act with integrity, and you treat everyone around you with respect. You celebrate your team's collective wins over your own, and you recognize the contributions and successes of your teammates.
• Curious – You are innately curious with a strong desire to learn and know. You always take the time to ask thoughtful questions because you constantly want to achieve more.
• Resilient – You overcome and quickly bounce back from setbacks. You help your teammates get back on track when knocked down, and you learn from and welcome similar help from those around you.
