About Wood + Water

Wood + Water is a kitchen and bath design studio specializing in cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, appliances, and thoughtful remodeling support. We help clients create functional, beautiful spaces through strong design, quality materials, and a detail-focused process. We are a small, fast-moving team that values accuracy, clear communication, accountability, organization, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.

We are seeking an organized and motivated Junior Cabinet Project Manager / Project Coordinator to support cabinetry design and installation projects from the design and sales handoff through ordering, delivery, installation, punch-list completion, and closeout.

Working under the guidance of the owner, senior designer, or experienced project manager, this person will coordinate project information, schedules, material orders, client updates, jobsite readiness, and project documentation. As training and experience increase, the employee will progressively take ownership of projects and routine project-management decisions.

• Support field measurements and conduct jobsite visits as needed to verify progress, document conditions, and help resolve project concerns.
• Maintain organized project files, notes, schedules, approvals, change-order documentation, delivery records, and client communications.
• Track damaged, missing, or incorrect materials and assist with replacement orders, service requests, and resolution follow-up.
• Maintain punch lists and coordinate completion of outstanding installation or service items.
• Identify potential schedule, material, design, or field issues early and escalate them to the appropriate senior team member.
• Assist with maintaining an organized, professional, and up-to-date showroom and sample library.
• Pick up and transport samples, hardware, cabinet components, and other project materials between the showroom, vendors, storage locations, and jobsites as needed.
• Help improve project-management processes, checklists, templates, and communication practices to strengthen accuracy and client satisfaction.
• Represent Wood + Water professionally and maintain a calm, solutions-focused approach when unexpected challenges arise.
