The Role at a Glance

Designer II: Residential Design & Drafting
North Wilkesboro, NC | Full-Time | On-Site

ExCo’s design department is growing, and we’re looking for a second set of hands on production drafting who can grow into more. You’ll work directly under our VP of Design, turning approved concepts into buildable construction documents. This is a designer role with real room to grow, not a drafting seat with a ceiling on it.

What you’ll do

  • Produce construction documents, plan sets, elevations, and details in Chief Architect from the lead designer’s redlines
  • Own accuracy and buildability on your drawings, since a plan set error becomes a field problem
  • Keep projects moving by maintaining design briefs, updating the WIP board, and flagging anything at risk of stalling
  • Coordinate with estimating and project management so drawings reflect real budgets and site conditions
  • Support client-facing gate meetings as you grow into the role

What we’re looking for

  • 2+ years producing residential construction documents in Chief Architect, AutoCAD, Revit, or similar
  • Working knowledge of residential construction methods
  • Comfortable turning redlines into clean, buildable drawings under deadline
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects
  • Chief Architect experience, custom or high-end residential work, and a portfolio are all a plus

Compensation and benefits

  • Competitive base salary based on experience, plus health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • Eligibility for ExCo’s annual performance bonus after 90 days
  • Direct mentorship from our VP of Design and a defined path toward senior design work

Project Manager III: Custom Residential Construction
North Wilkesboro, NC | Full-Time | On-Site

ExCo is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of 2 to 3 custom home builds at a time, from pre-construction turnover through warranty. This is a high-trust role. You’ll run your projects independently, protect schedule and margin, and give every client a clear, steady experience from start to finish.

What you’ll do

  • Build and maintain project schedules in Buildertrend, adjusting sequencing as risks come up
  • Protect margin by verifying subcontractor invoices and documenting change orders before work begins
  • Keep daily logs, schedule updates, and site photos current, since documentation is non-negotiable
  • Coordinate trade partners and confirm work meets ExCo standards before approving payment
  • Communicate with clients proactively and handle hard conversations with professionalism

What we’re looking for

  • 4+ years of construction project management or superintendent experience
  • Experience managing multiple active projects at once
  • Strong schedule and sequencing knowledge
  • Comfort with Buildertrend or similar construction software
  • Confident, client-facing communication skills
  • Commercial experience is welcome, with a willingness to adapt to custom residential standards

Compensation and benefits

  • Competitive base salary based on experience, plus health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Performance bonus of 8 to 12%
  • Company vehicle
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • A path to grow with a scaling custom home company
