ECCO Sunroom & Awning – Hampton Roads, VA
Are you someone who wants to learn the construction business from the ground up and grow into a leadership role?
ECCO Sunroom & Awning is looking for a driven, detail-oriented individual to train directly under the owner of our company and grow into a Project Manager / Operations Leader.
This is not just a job - it’s a career path.
You will work side-by-side with ownership and learn every part of our residential construction operation including project management, field coordination, quality control, product installation, and material logistics.
If you're ambitious, organized, and want to become the person running projects, this opportunity is designed for you.
About Us
ECCO Sunroom & Awning is a family-owned outdoor living contractor serving Hampton Roads and NE North Carolina since 1990.
We specialize in custom outdoor living projects including:
• Sunrooms
• Porch Enclosures
• Screen Rooms
• Pergolas & Patio Covers
• Motorized Awnings
• Louvered Roof Systems
• Outdoor Living Solutions
Our projects require high attention to detail, strong coordination with installation crews, and an exceptional customer experience.
What You'll Do
You will shadow the owner and learn the entire operation, including:

• Coordinating installation crews
• Quality control inspections
• Ordering and staging materials
• Reviewing measurements and project plans
• Scheduling projects and deliveries
• Communicating with homeowners
• Problem-solving job site issues
• Learning project costing and logistics
You will also spend time working alongside installation crews to learn how our products are installed and built.
This hands-on experience is critical so that you can eventually manage projects with a full understanding of how they are executed in the field.
Over time, the goal is for you to take ownership of projects and manage them independently.
What We're Looking For
The right person will be:
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Driven and eager to learn
• Comfortable working both in the field and office
• A strong communicator with crews and homeowners

Requirements
• Must be able to lift 50+ pounds
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Comfortable working on active construction sites and outdoors
• Willingness to learn installation and construction processes
• Bilingual (English / Spanish) is a plus

• Performance growth opportunities
• Direct mentorship from ownership
