Job description

What This Job Actually Is

This is a client-facing Project Manager role for a high-end kitchen and bathroom remodeling company. You'll be in direct, regular contact with homeowners, crews, and vendors from the day a project sells through the final walkthrough, and you'll work hands‑on producing design packages — specs, renderings, and product selections built in design software (SketchUp and/or 20/20) — alongside the scheduling, purchasing, and vendor payables that keep a job moving. On the financial side, you'll place and pay vendor orders and track outlays against each job's costs. To do this well you need to be highly organized, sharp on detail, a clear and confident communicator, comfortable with both project management and design software, and just as comfortable welcoming clients in the showroom as you are coordinating with homeowners and installers on site or keeping vendors and schedules on track from the office. If that combination sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
