Do you want to run projects, shape processes and help grow a design-led construction studio — not just follow a playbook? At Newton Design Studio we’re busy through mid‑2026 with curated architectural projects (no bulk builds). We’ve built a culture that’s humble, hungry and smart — and we’re offering an out‑of‑the‑box Project Management role with excellent pay and clear paths to share in the upside.

This Opportunity Is For You If:

You’re excited to work in an architectural design + construct studio and add real value to how we design and deliver.

You want to help shape systems and scale a business, not just operate within them.

You want autonomy to run your own projects and develop business leadership skills — we’ll help you learn how to run a business (and you might want “a piece” of ours one day).

You’re motivated by tangible reward: we’re serious about creating a pathway for you to earn ~$180K within 18 months (merit-based).

What You’ll Own

Project schedules: we say what we mean, and we deliver on time.

Project budgets: set, agreed and actively managed.

Stakeholder relationships: manage up and out — build working relationships people want to keep.

Site supervision: ensure work meets design intent, specs, timelines and regulations.

Procurement & deliveries: coordinate materials and trades; bring and grow a quality network of industry contacts.

Senior point of contact: visible leadership, clear communication and accountable reporting.

Support for directors: supply insights and data that help us win more great work.

Core Requirements

Minimum 5+ years in construction project management or construction supervision (or demonstrable equivalent experience).

Strong understanding of construction methodologies, processes and materials.

High emotional intelligence — you manage people and relationships as well as programs.

A reliable, can-do work ethic. No clock-watching.

Nice-to-Haves

Desire and ability to teach and mentor others.

Interest in obtaining a Building Practitioners License.

Entrepreneurial ambition — want to grow into senior leadership / profit-sharing.

What We Don’t Want

An angry, my-way-or-the-highway attitude.

A passive, clock-watching mentality.

A lack of confidence or someone arrogant.

What We Offer

Competitive, negotiable salary based on experience and demonstrated impact.

Clear performance and reward pathway (aspirational $180K within ~18 months).

Paid birthday off.

Direct mentorship and upskilling working alongside the owners.

A supportive team culture that learns quickly, owns mistakes and pushes forward.

Real career progression with senior management and profit-sharing opportunities as we grow.

How to Apply

Email [email protected] with subject: “I’m Your New Project Manager.” Please include:

Bullet-pointed work history and 2–3 achievements you’re proud of.

A short answer to: “Top 3 skills/characteristics, and why should we choose you over anyone else?”

We read every application. If you’re driven, honest and ready to grow with a studio that values design and craft — send it through.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
