Millwork Project Manager Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

The Finish Superintendent owns the building from dry-in through certificate of occupancy - insulation and drywall, interior trim and millwork, flooring, paint, MEP trim-out, appliances, amenity spaces, and final cleaning. This role runs the unit train: the repeating, rhythm-driven sequence that determines whether a multifamily project delivers on its CO and first-move-in dates.

This is the most schedule-sensitive and most visible phase of the project. The Finish Superintendent is accountable for finish quality that meets owner and property management expectations, for a punch list that closes rather than lingers, and for a turnover package that lets DF Property Management begin leasing on day one without a trailing defect list.

• Build, publish, and drive the unit train - establishing crew rhythm, unit-per-day production rates, and the sequence each trade follows through the building.
• Protect the train from disruption: verify predecessor work is complete and inspected before releasing the next trade, and prevent out-of-sequence work that creates rework.
• Track production daily against target rates and take corrective action when a trade falls behind rather than absorbing the loss into float.
• Coordinate insulation, drywall hang, finish, and paint sequencing with temporary conditioning, humidity control, and building dry-out requirements.

• Direct interior trades - doors and hardware, trim and millwork, cabinets and countertops, flooring, tile, painting, and specialties.
• Manage MEP trim-out and device installation, including fixtures, appliances, HVAC equipment start-up, fire alarm devices, and low-voltage systems.
• Conduct pre-installation meetings and establish approved mock-up units that set the quality standard for the remainder of the building.
• Verify finish selections, colors, and product substitutions against approved submittals and the owner's finish schedule before installation begins.
• Enforce protection of completed finishes - floor protection, corner guards, unit lock-off procedures, and damage accountability.

• Sequence clubhouse, leasing office, fitness, and common area finishes so amenity spaces are ready for the leasing and marketing schedule, not left to the end.
• Coordinate final site work, hardscape, landscaping, signage, and lighting with the site team to support CO and first move-in.
• Manage elevator installation, inspection, and state certification timelines as a critical-path item.

• Own the CO path - identify every inspection, sign-off, and third-party certification required by the AHJ and drive them to completion on a tracked schedule.
• Coordinate life-safety inspections including fire alarm and sprinkler testing, egress, and fire marshal walk-throughs.
• Conduct internal pre-punch walks before the owner or consultant sees the unit, so the formal punch list is short by design.
• Manage the punch list process to closure with documented sign-off; escort subcontractors who fail to respond.
• Support commissioning, testing and balancing, and building system verification.

• Assemble and deliver the turnover package - as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, attic stock, keys and access control, and system training for DF Property Management.
• Conduct building system orientation and training walks with the property management maintenance team.
• Support the warranty period by documenting known conditions at turnover and coordinating early warranty response.
• Supervise, mentor, and develop Assistant Superintendents and field staff assigned to finish operations.
• Champion Forge's safety program during finish operations, with focus on ladders and lifts, silica, respiratory protection, hot work, and housekeeping.

• 5+ years of commercial or multifamily construction superintendent or assistant superintendent experience with demonstrated ownership of interior finish scopes.
• Proven experience running a multifamily unit train and delivering buildings to CO on schedule.
• Strong finish quality standards and the ability to define and enforce them through mock-ups and pre-punch discipline.
• Working knowledge of building codes, life-safety systems, and AHJ inspection and CO processes in Kentucky and Indiana jurisdictions.
• Demonstrated ability to hold subcontractors accountable to production rates, quality, and punch response.
• Proficiency with Procore or comparable project management software, Bluebeam, and punch list tools.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation; ability to be assigned regionally.

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
• Multifamily, senior living, or hospitality finish experience where finish quality drives lease-up or resident experience.
• Experience coordinating turnover directly with an in-house or third-party property management group.
• Familiarity with LIHTC, HUD, or other affordable housing inspection, accessibility, and closeout requirements.
• Working knowledge of Fair Housing and ADA/ANSI A117.1 accessibility requirements as they apply to finish installation.
• Working proficiency in Spanish.
