Job description

At Forms+Surfaces, we design and manufacture architectural products used in some of the most demanding and design-forward environments in the world. Our work lives at the intersection of design, engineering, and advanced manufacturing.

We are looking for a Project Manager who thrives in that intersection, working directly with architects, designers, contractors, and our internal sales, engineering, and manufacturing teams to bring complex, custom projects to life.

If you enjoy solving problems, connecting dots, and seeing ideas move from drawings into reality, this role places you at the forefront of design, material innovation, and how things actually get built.

What You’ll Do

• Lead projects from kickoff through production, delivery, and closeout
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors, and internal teams
• Review drawings, specifications, and scope to identify risks and opportunities early
• Coordinate across engineering, estimating, and manufacturing to ensure alignment
• Drive schedules, manage changes, and keep projects moving forward
• Troubleshoot challenges in real time and deliver solutions with clarity and confidence

What Makes This Role Different

• You will work in a highly collaborative environment across design, engineering, and manufacturing
• You will see how products are made, not just how they are specified
• You will influence outcomes across the full lifecycle of a project
• You will be part of a team that values clarity, accountability, and problem-solving

What We’re Looking For

• BS/BA in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years managing complex projects in construction, manufacturing, or related industries
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and specifications
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• A proactive mindset and comfort operating in a fast-paced environment

We care more about how you think, communicate, and solve problems than a specific background.

Why Forms+Surfaces

• Work on design-driven, technically complex projects
• Collaborate across disciplines in a highly integrated environment
• Gain exposure to both product development and manufacturing
• Be part of a team that is continually improving how things are designed and built
