Position Summary

Starlight Development is hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of high-end, luxury single-family residential projects on Vancouver Island. This is a fully onsite role requiring hands-on leadership across all phases of construction.

This role is suited for an experienced builder-operator who has successfully delivered custom luxury homes in remote or logistically complex environments.
