  • Carpentry

  • Flatwork

Compensation & Benefits. We offer excellent compensation and extensive benefits to all our craftsmen. The benefits are set by union contract, of course, but generally they include such benefits as paid time off and health care coverage for employees and family members.

Safety. Job site safety is a major concern throughout McBride. That's why we have a McBride Safety Incentive Program. We're proud to say that, in the spring of 2000, we honored nearly 300 company craftsmen for job site safety.

Training and Apprenticeships. Even for skilled craftsmen, it's always possible to refine your craft, particularly when you work side-by-side with the best in the business. We also offer a limited number of apprenticeships in a variety of crafts to qualified applicants. If you enjoy working in a craft, have an intense desire to learn, and are willing to take direction from experienced craftsmen, let us hear from you. top


Project Managers

Our rapid growth in residential operations in St. Louis, Illinois, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Kansas City, as well as expansion into other cities in the near future, enables McBride & Son Homes to always look for seasoned managers as well as enthusiastic management trainees.

Services & Skills. Regardless of the scope, every McBride home is managed by a Project Manager with extensive training and experience in the McBride way of building. Project Manager’s are in charge of their subdivision; be it one or several. The Project Manager will supervise the actions of their superintendents and sales managers on a daily basis, and at the same time, focus their attention on the estimating, advertising, finance, production, and customer service details.

Let us hear from you if you have experience managing projects involving the construction of single family, multi-family homes, or have been involved with the development of subdivisions or master planned communities.

Training. If you become a Project Manager in the McBride organization, you'll have the opportunity to learn the McBride way of building. The amount of time required to learn the system will depend upon your skills and experience coming in and the nature of the projects to be placed under your responsibility.

Our training program for Project Managers includes: land acquisition and development; products, pricing, and estimating; construction; sales and marketing; accounting; job site computer technology; safety; and, the most important thing, customer satisfaction.

Compensation & Benefits. We offer excellent compensation and extensive benefits to all our project managers. Benefits include vacations, health care coverage for employees and family members with a share of premium paid by the company, a cafeteria plan, and 401(k) savings. top


Superintendent

The fact that we have more building sites in the Metropolitan St. Louis area than any other builder, and our residential operations are growing in Illinois, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Atlanta, means we are always looking for residential superintendents.

Services & Skills. Superintendents report directly to the Project Manager and are responsible for the daily activities of each home under construction. Each residential jobsite superintendent is in charge of coordinating the subcontractors, scheduling and supervising the work, and conducting the final walk-through with the homeowner.

Let us hear from you if you have experience supervising residential construction projects. Check out our career positions or contact Randy Mathews at 314-336-0241, or e-mail rmathews@mcbridehomes.com for more information.

Training. The amount of training will depend upon your skills and experience. The Project Manager can best assess ones skills to determine the best training available for a superintendent. Regardless of the experience level, one will learn the McBride way of building a quality home.

Compensation & Benefits. We offer excellent compensation and benefits to all residential superintendents. Benefits include vacations and health care coverage for employees and family members with a share of the premium paid by the company. top


Sales Managers

Our rapid growth in the development of single-family and multi-family residential communities means we are always looking for sales managers who are able to present our properties to potential buyers.

Services & Skills. The ability to close the deal is the skill most required. In addition, successful sales managers are those with excellent communication skills coupled with the ability to pay attention to the details. Sales Managers are expected to write all contracts, have in-depth knowledge of their development, and ultimately, be the liaison in the construction process with the homeowner and the Project Manager.
