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.

About Us

We're the premier kitchen and bathroom remodeling company serving Essex, Morris, and Passaic counties, and we're growing fast. We've built our reputation on craftsmanship — but just as much on how our team treats people.

• Manage inbound/outbound inventory — receiving, staging, and verifying

• Be present in the office 9–5 to receive and catalog packages for jobs
• Coordinate countertop templates, fabrication, and installs
• Ensure correct materials are onsite before work begins
• Pay vendors and track outlays against each specific job
• Maintain supplier relationships and job costing accuracy

Site Visits & Customer Support

• Conduct initial job measuring at project sites
• Be onsite for the first day of the job to introduce homeowners to the team and hand off to the foreman
• Make in-home visits to walk through and resolve any homeowner concerns
• Prepare job folders, binders, and measurement sheets
• Track milestones, change orders, and punch lists through to completion
