Job Description
DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL PROJECTS
Miami, Florida | Full-Time | On-Site
Build Something That Matters.
THE BIG PICTURE
Some people see old buildings. You see potential. You see the renovation that transforms a tired property into a thriving community. You see the capital project that turns a good investment into a great one.
We're looking for a Director of Capital Projects who gets excited about turning vision into reality—someone who can develop a capex budget for an acquisition on Monday, troubleshoot a construction issue on Tuesday, and present to the investment committee on Wednesday. If you love the blend of strategy and execution, and you want to see the direct impact of your work across a growing portfolio, let's talk.
WHO WE ARE
Fifteen Group Capital is a real estate investment firm that's been finding opportunities where others see obstacles since 1992. We specialize in value-add acquisitions—properties with untapped potential that reward smart capital investment. Based in Miami with properties across California, Texas, and Florida, we're entrepreneurial, move fast, and give our people real ownership over their work.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Capital Projects & Construction
- Lead planning, budgeting, and execution of all capital improvements and construction projects for existing buildings
- Oversee major maintenance initiatives—the big stuff that keeps properties running right
- Manage in-house and third-party project managers across California, Texas, and Florida
- Build and maintain relationships with contractors, architects, and vendors who deliver quality work
Acquisitions & Strategy
- Partner with our deal team to develop capex budgets that make-or-break investment decisions
- Conduct due diligence inspections and tell us what it'll really take to execute the business plan
- Present your findings to ownership and the investment committee, your expertise shapes our strategy
- Develop post-acquisition capital plans that set new properties up for success
WHAT YOU BRING
- 7-10 years in capital improvements, construction management, or facilities management
- 3-5+ years managing projects with budgets over $1 million
- Deep multifamily real estate experience—you know this industry inside and out
- Track record with value-add repositioning and large-scale renovations
- Comfort navigating building codes and permits across multiple states (CA, FL, TX)
- Financial chops—you can build a budget, defend it, and deliver on it
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field
- PMP, CCM, or similar certification (preferred, not required)
Bonus points: You've managed teams across multiple geographies and time zones. You stay calm when projects get complicated. You'd rather solve a problem than talk about it.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Pay Range: $150,000 - $185,000 annually
The salary range reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for this position. Actual compensation will be determined by experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
Benefits include:
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match
- Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave
- Professional development and continuing education support
- The chance to directly shape the growth of a dynamic real estate portfolio
THE DETAILS
- Based at our Miami headquarters
- Travel to properties in California, Texas, and throughout Florida (20-30%)
- Mix office work and construction site visits
- Flexibility for project deadlines—construction doesn't always happen 9-to-5
