Head of Construction

Who We Are | Bluevale Capital 

Bluevale Capital is a boutique, real estate private equity firm that specializes in value-add, development and special situational multi-residential projects. Over the past two years, the firm has completed over $250M of transactions with the intention of creating a $1B+ real estate fund over the next 2-3 years. By working with government leaders, and by partnering with our sponsors and lenders, the company’s vision is to create 10,000+ residential units with a focus on tackling the affordable housing crisis in North America. We are currently putting together a stellar team that will help achieve this goal. 

About the Role 

We are hiring a hands-on Head of Construction to lead execution across a growing portfolio of hotel-to-multifamily conversion projects in the Northeast. This is not a corporate oversight role—we’re looking for someone who has personally delivered complex projects and can drive results in the field and at the budget level. 

What You’ll Do 

• Lead projects from pre-construction through completion, with direct involvement in execution  
• Own budgets, cost tracking, and value engineering—ensure projects hit pro forma  
• Manage GCs, subs, and field teams, stepping in as needed to solve problems in real time  
• Build scopes, review bids, and negotiate directly with subcontractors  
• Develop and maintain a strong subcontractor network across the Northeast  
• Oversee permitting, inspections, and regulatory processes  
• Hire and lead a team of PMs, estimators, and superintendents  
• Partner with acquisitions to validate construction assumptions during underwriting  

What We’re Looking For 

• 10+ years of hands-on construction experience (not just oversight or corporate roles)  
• Proven track record delivering $20M+ projects  
• Experience with ground-up, heavy renovation, or adaptive reuse projects  
• Background working at a GC or real estate developer in a build-focused role  
• Strong experience with budgeting, cost control, and subcontractor management 
• Comfortable operating in both union and non-union environments  
• Deep familiarity with construction across CT, NY, NJ, and/or MA  

Must-Have 

• Have personally run jobs end-to-end, not just managed from a distance  
• Strong cost discipline and value engineering mindset  
• Ability to build and lead teams while staying close to execution  
• Established subcontractor relationships in the Northeast  

Nice to Have 

• Experience with hotel conversions or asset repositioning  
• Familiarity with HUD financing or affordable housing 

Compensation 

• Competitive base salary 
• Performance-based bonus 
• Long-term incentive participation potential 
• Health benefits and paid time off
