$70K-$110K+ first year. One seat available. We're a high-growth painting company scaling fast and this hire is a key piece of what comes next. If you're a top-performing Production/Project Manager looking for something rare, keep reading
I'm Jonathan, President & CEO of Apex Painting Group. We're hiring one Production Manager to lead our painting crews and we're going to be very selective.
Don't apply if you're looking for "just a job." Apply if you're looking for something rare.
THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF...
You're ambitious, financially and personally. You hold yourself to high standards and you have a proven track record of results that everyone around you knows about. You want autonomy, not micromanagement. You're hungry to learn, grow, and get better every single day. You want to be part of a high-growth company where your performance actually matters and gets rewarded.
If that describes you, and you’re reading this job post… I’m guessing you haven’t found a company that lives up to your own ambitions and expectations.
You want more and you’re looking for somewhere that can deliver what you’re looking for (which is rare and hard to find).
DON'T APPLY IF...
You need constant direction to stay productive. You blame external factors when you miss targets. You're between gigs and just looking for a paycheck. We're building something special here, and it's not for everyone, and that's okay.

With me so far?..
Now let’s get into more of the specifics about our company, what we believe, and what we do…
What We Believe:
The home service industry and the trades are broken. Homeowners all have horror stories about working with their contractors, and they shouldn’t. Most contractors run their business by the seat of their pants, these are not professionally built organizations the way they should be done. The bar is set too low for our industry, even mediocre companies succeed, the opportunity to dominate in this market is huge.
Employees who work for these companies are overworked, underpaid, and stressed out.
We could go on and on...
We believe the best and most successful business is the business where everyone wins...
Where employees LOVE their work, are well compensated, enjoy a work-life balance, have opportunities to grow in their careers. Where customers have an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Where a company gives back to the community in a big way.
And when everyone a business touches is winning... The business experiences enormous success. And so does the business owner. And so does Apex Painting Group.
This is the kind of business we are creating... In order to impact the painting industry, and then the entire home improvement and construction industry.
WHAT OUR TEAM SAYS ABOUT THIS COMPANY
"Apex is one of the best companies I have worked for. The team here feels more like a family. It doesn't feel like a job, it feels like a group of friends all working towards a common goal: BE THE BEST PAINTING COMPANY THERE IS." — Project Consultant , Apex Painting Group
"I oversee the scheduling, staffing, and execution of our paint projects. I get to interact with customers and ensure they have a great experience painting with us.
