Job Description

Overview:

Traditions of America, a national leader in 55+ active-adult communities, is seeking a full-time Director of Land Development for the Pittsburgh region. The Pittsburgh region is a core operational market for the company, with multiple ongoing large-scale active-adult communities that require strong, daily leadership. The Director of Land Development will take full ownership of delivering these communities’ site infrastructure — earthwork, utilities, stormwater, and roads — and will be accountable for producing finished, build-ready lots on schedule and within budget. This is a high-impact, construction-driven role that requires a disciplined manager who can lead contractors, navigate inspections, direct engineers, and ensure each community is fully prepared for vertical construction. The position is central to the success and timely delivery of our Pittsburgh communities.

Responsibilities:

• Manage all site development work from NPDES approval through project completion, including earthwork, utilities, paving, stormwater facilities, and erosion control.

• Deliver pads, utilities, roads, and all infrastructure to the homebuilding team on schedule and ready for vertical construction.

• Oversee site contractors daily, maintain strong working relationships, and ensure an orderly, well-organized jobsite at all times.

• Keep all site work on budget according to the executed site contract; enforce contract terms, quantities, and scope in the field.

• Review contractor pay applications and scrutinize all change order requests; enforce the contract and reject change orders that are not justified by scope, quantity, or field conditions.

• Maintain the full land development schedule and resolve field issues quickly to keep work advancing.

• Coordinate all required testing and inspections, including compaction tests, utility testing, paving cores, basin certifications, and all Township, County, DEP, Conservation District, and utility authority inspections.

• Ensure compliance with approved land development plans, NPDES permits, erosion and sediment control requirements, and stormwater regulations.

• Manage utility company coordination for water, sewer, gas, electric, and communications installations.

• Maintain accurate field documentation including daily logs, redline plans, quantity tracking, and photo records.

• Drive the full dedication process: oversee as-built preparation, punch lists, utility authority sign-offs, Township inspections, road acceptance, and all final approvals.

• Provide clear weekly reporting to the corporate office in Berwyn on progress, budget performance, and risks.

• Assist the acquisitions and entitlement team during pre-development by evaluating site constraints, reviewing early engineering concepts, and advising on efficient plan layouts.

Qualifications:

• Degree in civil engineering, construction management, or related field preferred.

• Minimum 5 years of direct land development or site construction experience.

• Strong knowledge of earthwork, utilities, stormwater, and roadway construction.

• Experience managing site contractors and jobsite activity.

• Comfortable dealing with inspectors and regulatory agencies.

• Strong communication skills and ability to report clearly to the corporate office.

• Must be based in the Pittsburgh region and able to be onsite daily.
