Art Project Managers play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the creative team and project objectives, ensuring a smooth workflow from conception to completion.

Job description

AXIOM

Axiom Custom Products is a 30 year old privately-owned, full-service creative manufacturing team that designs and builds architectural environments, retail activations and experiences, art installations, and more.

With a 75,000 sf shop in NE, Axiom creates projects of which you will want to be a part! We make the impossible possible through our vast, unmatched capabilities: exceptional client services, fearlessly creative design, innovative problem-solving, unparalleled in-house services (building, CNC, metal fabrication, technology, paint and powder coating, custom crating), detailed installation, and tight deadlines. With our client’s expressive custom statements brought to life, the rest is history.

THE PRE-REQ

You have years of fabrication experience; you've built things with your own two hands, lots of things. You've made the leap from building things to managing the builders of things OR you want to, and you have the confidence and drive to succeed as Project Manager.

This particular Project Management role isn't suited for folks with experience only in design, event management, general project management or building as a hobby. This isn’t an IT or finance PM role either.

You have to have worn a tool belt/had a tool box at a job and understand how things are built. You've personally worked with a variety of materials (metal, plastic, wood, glass, laminate), adhesives, and finishes.

**Please note, hands-on metal fabrication/carpentry/woodworking/cabinet making experience is a non-negotiable requirement of the role, we won’t be considering folks who do not have this experience.

THE ROLE

We assure quality custom products with efficiency and dedication. And we deliver. At the helm of delivery is the Project Manager. Our Project Managers navigate and execute temporary and permanent installations working with their the Sales team, Account Managers, other Project Managers, Design Engineers, CNC Programmers, Fabricators, and Management.

Project Managers work through design, estimating, planning, development, production, and installation phases of the project life cycle. They have a direct connection to the profitability of Axiom and the reason they are successful is that they understand how things are built. But, it's not that simple, that's the foundation they bring. Then, they come to Axiom learn the process of project management and production at Axiom, inside and out, and execute it. In tandem with the sales and accounts teams, they develop new relationships and maintain on-going relationships with clients, agencies, designers, general contractors, architects and artists.

YOU

Our Project Managers help keep the team running at full speed. You will be joining a team of like-minded folks managing production of experiences and brand touch-points that are simply put, awesome. You have a passion for unlocking the potential of the greater team by removing roadblocks and creating a clear path to getting things done through an obsession with planning, process, and transforming complex requests into actionable to do's.

You are comfortable and confident in managing what you know how to build and you enjoy being an integral part of a team. You are highly motivated, organized, a collaborator. You are committed to project excellence and have an outstanding attention to detail -- you love the craft.

You have exemplary communication skills. You thrive when working in an active environment against tight deadlines, managing budgets and workflow. Drawings, the computer, email and spreadsheets are familiar tools; software we use includes in-house ERP, Slack, and SmartSheets. You welcome the challenge to manage multiple projects, clients, and resources at a time. You are able to quickly learn about our what you are unfamiliar with in our industry, including retail environments, millwork/casework, tradeshow booths, and custom crating. You will check in with clients, visit the project site, etc.; frequent local travel requires a current local driver's license and a clean driving record.

THE RETURN

Our way of life promotes hard work, but health and family always come first. We ask employees to give us their all, and in turn, we help them live a rewarding life with the balance they need to enjoy their career at Axiom. We offer an opportunity for growth, an excellent salary, paid holidays, 401k and Roth investment options, and medical, dental, vision benefits (with dependent coverage options). Best yet, in year two you accrue 4 weeks of PTO!

Important note: there are dogs in the office.

NEXT STEPS

See our full capabilities at www.axiomcustom.com and check out the breadth of projects we tackle at www.instagram.com/axiomcustom.
The salary range is $70k to $90k.
Side note: the office is dog friendly.

Join Axiom because we’re different from other shops. We don’t back down from a creative or technical challenge. We always figure out a way.

Enable us to bridge the space between design and build. Tell us how your experience aligns with the hands-on building prerequisite; we'd love an intro and resume!

**Please note, hands-on metal fabrication/carpentry/woodworking/cabinet making/manufacturing experience is a non-negotiable requirement of the role, we won’t be considering folks who do not have this experience.
