Your new company Our client is a well‑established commercial real estate developer and owner‑builder with a strong footprint across Frederick County, Loudoun, Ashburn, Leesburg, and the Dulles corridor. Their Frederick office houses design, property management, base‑build construction, and interiors teams are all under one roof.

- Base salary $90,000–$120,000 commensurate with experience
- Profit sharing
- Benefits include medical/dental/vision insurance, life and disability coverage
- 28 days PTO 401(k)
