About the team and culture

Our client is an architect-led design, build, and development firm focused on transforming underutilized urban spaces into high-performing commercial environments. With deep experience in adaptive reuse, urban infill, and complex commercial projects, they operate throughout Florida and the Carolinas. Their Charlotte office runs with a development-first mindset — structuring high-potential deals, executing them through an in-house design-build platform, and earning equity through performance. Leadership is intentional about building strong relationships across teams and offices, creating alignment through collaboration and trust. That mindset shows up on the jobsite as better communication, stronger teamwork, and a higher standard of execution. At Framework, we keep it simple: We connect great people with great builders. We're not just filling seats — we're helping construction professionals find real opportunities with companies that value what they bring to the table. Our candidates trust us because we're honest, we follow through, and we never push roles that aren't the right fit. We take the time to understand where you're coming from and where you want to go. On the flip side, our clients count on us to bring high-quality people who are the real deal — both in skill and character. They'll tell you we just get it. We're proud to be the kind of recruiters who do what's right, not what's easy, and we make sure it's a win for everyone involved.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
