About the Role

The Senior Project Manager leads high-profile, complex millwork fabrication and installation projects from handoff through closeout - ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to client specifications.

Procurement & Production

• Create work orders and communicate scope through internal systems; track critical production and delivery dates
• Coordinate RFQs, vendor pricing, and procurement activities; partner with purchasing on pricing and lead times

Team Development & Leadership

• Mentor and develop Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and Project Engineers
• Provide direction, accountability, and coaching to build a high-performing project management team
• Contribute to process improvements, tools, and best practices across the PM function
• Support vendor evaluation and development
