- Manage project budgets, schedules, invoicing, change orders, documentation, and progress reporting.
- Identify scope gaps, production challenges, scheduling risks, and site conflicts.
- Coordinate with drafting, engineering, purchasing, production, logistics, and installation teams.
- Conduct site visits, field verification, and progress inspections as required.
- Monitor installation quality, deficiencies, corrective work, and final completion.
- Maintain clear communication with clients and project stakeholders throughout the project.
Required Qualifications
- At least 10 years of combined architectural millwork and related industry experience.

- Unrestricted authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
- Willingness to work under a full-time independent-contractor arrangement.
Candidates who progressed into project management from cabinetmaking, installation, drafting, estimating, production, or technical coordination are encouraged to apply.
Preferred Qualifications
- Full-cycle responsibility from project award through fabrication, installation, deficiencies, and closeout.
- Experience with large commercial, hospitality, retail, institutional, or luxury residential projects.
- Knowledge of AWI standards.
- Experience using AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Procore, Microsoft Project, Crow’s Nest, or similar software.
