Job description

Workplace Interiors is looking for a Project Manager to join our Buffalo team and help bring great spaces to life across Western New York.

You’ll work with companies, colleges, K-12 schools, and government organizations throughout the greater Buffalo area, supporting our sales, design, and installation teams from initial planning through project completion. Each client and space brings something different, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, building relationships, and seeing the results of their work firsthand.

About the Role

One day you may be walking a corporate office with a client and reviewing installation plans. The next, you could be coordinating a classroom furniture delivery or meeting with a college’s facilities team to prepare for an upcoming project.

You’ll help keep schedules, budgets, and people aligned, making sure our team has the information it needs and our clients know what to expect. When plans change, you’ll work with the team to find a solution and keep the project moving.

This position includes daily travel throughout the greater Buffalo area for client meetings, site visits, and installation coordination.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with sales and design to establish project scope, budgets, schedules, and installation requirements.
• Review furniture plans and project documents with the team to identify questions and resolve details before delivery.
• Work with project coordination and manufacturers to stay ahead of lead times, shipping updates, and outstanding items.
• Coordinate deliveries and installations with clients, contractors, facilities teams, and our warehouse and installation crews.
• Confirm site readiness, building access, and delivery requirements so installations are well planned.
• Keep clients and the internal team informed about progress, decisions, and schedule changes.
• Monitor project costs and document scope changes, helping secure approval for additional work before it begins.
• Visit project sites, review installation progress, and follow through on punch lists and final walkthroughs.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who is organized, communicates clearly, and enjoys taking ownership of a project. You should be comfortable managing several priorities, working with different personalities, and making thoughtful decisions when circumstances change.

A strong business sense is important. Understanding how labor, freight, scheduling, and scope changes affect costs will help you deliver successful projects for both our clients and Workplace.

Relevant experience and skills include:

• A background in commercial furniture, construction, interiors, operations, or a related project management role.
• Experience managing schedules, budgets, and multiple projects.
• The ability to read floor plans and work through project documents.
• Confidence communicating with clients, contractors, manufacturers, and internal teams.
• Comfort using spreadsheets and project tracking tools.
• The ability to travel daily throughout the greater Buffalo area.

Commercial furniture experience and familiarity with Haworth or other contract furniture manufacturers are a plus. We also welcome candidates with transferable experience and an interest in learning the industry.

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package that supports you at work and outside of it, including:

• Competitive base salary based on experience, plus bonus opportunities.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match.
• Paid vacation, paid holidays, and additional PTO.
• Vehicle and cell phone allowance for travel and communication throughout the greater Buffalo area.

As our Buffalo team grows, you’ll also have opportunities to build your skills and take on new responsibilities.

Why Workplace Interiors?

Workplace Interiors is a full-service commercial furniture dealership and Haworth partner with teams in Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. We support our clients through design, furniture selection, budgeting, warehousing, installation, and ongoing service.

You’ll join a team that takes pride in its work, supports one another, and enjoys the process along the way. There’s room to contribute ideas, take responsibility, and build relationships with organizations throughout our community. Whether you’re helping prepare a new office or getting classrooms ready for students, you’ll see the difference your work makes.
