This opportunity is ideal for an experienced commercial architectural millwork project manager who can manage projects from award through final completion while coordinating customers, drawings, materials, production, and installation.

• ERP software familiarity and computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office and project management software.
• Ability to work fully onsite in River Falls, Wisconsin, Monday–Friday, 40+ hours per week, with periodic business travel.
• Candidates with commercial casework, cabinetry, or woodworking backgrounds must have experience involving relevant commercial architectural millwork scope.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage commercial architectural millwork projects from award through final completion.

• Coordinate submittals, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), material procurement, production schedules, and installation timelines.
• Work with Engineering, Purchasing, Production, and Field Installation to resolve issues and keep projects moving.
• Identify project risks, handle light troubleshooting, and elevate issues requiring specialized support.
• Track budgets, forecasts, project financial performance, and change-order documentation.
• Manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate project records, and communicate schedule or scope changes clearly.
• Build and maintain positive customer relationships.
• Support project delivery according to established quality standards and timelines.
