Director of Construction job in Texas

Your new company

I am currently seeking a Director of Construction to lead projects for Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brands for a General Contractor in Texas. This role is ideal for a construction leader or a Senior Project Manager who is ready to step up to a DoC role, who thrives in a fast‑paced, multi‑site environment and understands the unique demands of high‑volume retail and restaurant delivery.

Your new role

  • Oversee all phases of construction for QSR projects across Texas and surrounding regions, from pre‑construction through closeout.
  • Manage project teams, including project managers, superintendents, and subcontractors, ensuring alignment with schedule, budget, and quality expectations.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with national QSR clients, architects, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
  • Develop and refine operational processes, reporting structures, and performance metrics to support scalable growth.
  • Provide executive‑level forecasting, risk management, and strategic planning for a growing project portfolio.
  • Ensure compliance with safety standards, permitting requirements, and brand‑specific construction guidelines.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven leadership experience with a general contractor, ideally in a Director‑level or senior project leadership role.
  • A strong track record delivering QSR or high‑volume retail projects (ground‑up, TI, remodels, or rollouts).
  • Deep understanding of fast‑track schedules, multi‑site coordination, and franchise brand standards.
  • Ability to lead teams, manage client expectations, and drive operational excellence.
  • Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, forecasting, and cost control.
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills.

Paying between $180k - $220k
