I’m James Cockrill, a Charleston-based Construction Operations Leader with more than 20 years of experience managing high-impact residential projects and driving field performance across both public and private sectors.
I specialize in aligning construction operations with organizational systems, bridging the gap between field execution, purchasing processes, and project scheduling. My approach blends hands-on field insight with scalable strategy to increase efficiency, reduce cycle times, and improve quality across markets.
Over the past decade, I’ve led multi-division initiatives focused on builder onboarding, systems integration (including BOSS and JDE), and operational excellence at the Director level. Whether mentoring teams, implementing new technologies, or standardizing workflows, I bring the clarity and leadership needed to elevate outcomes.
I’m currently exploring executive-level roles, including Director of Construction, Field Operations, or Systems Strategy, where I can continue leading high-performing teams and building smarter, faster, and better.
Let’s build something better.
