Job description
About Westside Build
Westside Build is a Santa Monica–based home builder that specializes in helping homeowners rebuild high-quality, resilient homes after disasters such as fires, guiding clients from initial concept through to move-in. Our process starts with a deep discovery phase to understand clients' needs and preferences, followed by custom design, permitting, construction, and a final hand-over of the finished home.
Because we're a design-build-development firm rebuilding homes after catastrophic wildfire loss, the stakes are real, the pace is fast, and the payoff is tangible: you'll watch families move from loss to a rebuilt home you helped bring back to life.
Position Overview
The Quality Manager is responsible for establishing, implementing, and maintaining Westside Build's quality control systems across all active projects. This role ensures every home meets our architectural intent, performance standards, and client expectations — from foundation through final walk. You will work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, trade partners, and the Design team to drive first-pass inspections, reduce rework, and uphold best-in-class craftsmanship.
Why Westside Build?
- Impact: We aren't just building houses; we are rebuilding lives.
- Innovation: We are small enough to be nimble but ambitious enough to redefine how homes are built.
- Culture: A high-performance, low-ego team that values speed, precision, and automation.
