Careers
Careers at Eleven Western follow a dual-track map: a shared base from Submittal Coordinator to Project Engineer, then a fork — the project-management track rising to Project Executive, or the field track rising through Superintendent to Director of Field Operations. We recruit experienced leaders for specialized roles and build entry points for talented people with or without a four-year degree.
Two Ways In
Our sector teams are specialized on purpose, and we actively recruit the best experienced people to lead them: Project Executives, Senior PMs, superintendents, estimators, and preconstruction professionals who want their track record to matter. You will not be generalist number forty — you will run work in a sector you know, with a Project Executive structure that gives you real authority and real accountability.
We proudly build entry points for talented people whether or not they have a four-year degree. A construction-management degree is valuable for certain roles; character, intelligence, work ethic, judgment, and curiosity matter for every role. Our COO started as a laborer at fourteen. We believe in developing people, not only hiring finished products — and the map below is the proof.
The Career Map
Everyone starts on the same base. The Project Engineer seat — office-based, with regular field visits — is where you discover which side of the wall you want to run: the plan or the pour. Both tracks end in a leadership seat with a sector's worth of responsibility.
Office-based · owns budgets, clients, and buyout
Field-based · owns the site, the schedule, the crews
“Submittal Coordinator, Project Engineer, Project Manager, then marketing, HR, and finally Chief Risk Officer. The map on this page isn't aspirational — it's my resume.”

What We Look For
Every company lists adjectives. Here is what ours look like on a jobsite, in an estimate review, and on the phone with a client — because these are the behaviors that decide teamwork, problem-solving, accountability, and who gets the next seat.
The superintendent who teaches the apprentice instead of burying them. Kindness on a jobsite is not softness — it is the reason subcontractors give you their best crew twice.
Not credentials — judgment. The PE who reads the spec before asking, the PM who sees the schedule conflict two weeks out, the estimator who asks the question nobody else thought to.
Bad news travels fast here, on purpose. The person who reports the problem the day it appears is more valuable than the one who hides it until it is expensive.
Our CRO started as a Submittal Coordinator. Our COO started as a laborer. Ambition here means wanting the next seat and doing the current one so well the next one is obvious.
Every occupied-store remodel is a puzzle: keep the store trading, keep the schedule, keep the customers happy. The people who thrive here enjoy solving it.
Construction gives you a hundred reasons a week to be cynical. The teams that finish strong are led by people who solve the problem in front of them instead of narrating it.
We self-perform, so we know what it feels like to be the trade contractor. Empathy shows up in how our people run buyout, review pay applications, and talk to a store manager at 2 a.m.
Then the honest preview: our standards are high, our clients expect a lot, and we will expect you to grow. People who want that thrive here.
Join our talent network →Why EWB
Sector teams mean you learn a building type deeply instead of shallowly; the PE hinge means you choose your track with real information, not a guess at graduation.
Project Executives own sectors. The Director of Field Operations owns the field. These are destination jobs with authority, not titles handed out to slow attrition.
No private-equity math deciding your office's fate. The people who own the company work in it, and many of its leaders started at the bottom of it.
Escondido, Rocklin, Meridian, and Dallas — including two of the fastest-growing construction markets in the country.
