ABOUT US
Southern Cities Construction is a licensed North Carolina General Contractor serving real estate investors across the state. We hire directly — not through an agency — and we are building a long-term remote team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop complete interior finish schedules for US residential remodels and flips — paint, flooring, cabinets, countertops, tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware, trim, doors
- Develop complete exterior finish schedules — siding, roofing, paint, trim, doors, windows, garage doors, hardware, basic landscaping
- Build branded mood boards and design boards (room-by-room) for client approval
- Spec finishes in tiered packages aligned to project budget: Entry / Standard / Premium
- Source materials from US-availability brands (Home Depot, Lowe's, Floor & Decor, MSI, Wayfair, etc.)
- Stay current on US Southeast buyer preferences and design trends
- Coordinate with our estimator to confirm finish selections fit project budgets
- Coordinate with our drafter to ensure plan-level changes match finish decisions
- Maintain a library of branded SCC finish-package templates
- Turn around quick-hit finish boards within 5–7 days
- Turn around full project finish schedules within 10–14 days

REQUIRED
- 3+ years residential interior design experience including FINISH SELECTION (please send sample finish boards)
- Strong portfolio of completed interior finish schedules
- Working knowledge of exterior residential finishes (siding, roofing, paint systems)
- Proficiency with mood-board tools (Canva, Photoshop, InDesign, or similar)
- Proficiency with at least one 3D visualization tool (SketchUp, Lumion, Chief Architect, Rendr)
- Familiarity with US residential material brands and price points
- Budget discipline — flip finishes are NOT luxury custom finishes
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Fast turnaround discipline

NICE TO HAVE
- US residential flip / investor project experience
- Knowledge of US Southeast buyer preferences
- Familiarity with HGTV-style flip aesthetics
- Working knowledge of Sherwin-Williams / Behr / Benjamin Moore color systems

- Photo-based design experience (working from listing photos and remote measurements)
- Realtor or staging background

WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive base salary in USD (paid via Wise or Payoneer, on time, every month)
- 13th-month pay
- Performance bonus for every project that uses your finish packages
- 10 days paid time off after 90-day probation
- All Philippine public holidays paid
- Long-term position with a real US company (not an agency)
- Direct mentorship from the founder
- Clear path to Design Lead within 12 months

EQUIPMENT & SOFTWARE
- We provide: Canva Pro, SketchUp license, Google Workspace account, Slack, access to our brand catalog library
- You provide: Your own computer + reliable internet (minimum 10 Mbps + backup connection)

HOW TO APPLY
Send the following to ----------
1. Brief introduction (3–5 sentences) — who you are and why you're a fit
2. 2–3 sample finish boards or mood boards you've produced
3. 1–2 sample exterior finish concepts (if available)
4. Your monthly rate expectation in USD
5. Earliest start date
