  • Communicate directly with homeowners, designers, project managers, and office staff
  • Identify and resolve field issues before they become problems
  • Train and develop field personnel
  • Ensure all work meets Gallagher Paint & Paper quality standards
  • Perform final walkthroughs and punch list completion
Requirements:
  • 7+ years of experience in residential painting, wallcoverings, drywall finishing, or related trades
  • Previous experience as a Superintendent, Foreman, Project Manager, or Operations Manager
  • Extensive knowledge of:
  • Interior and exterior painting
  • High-end residential finishes
  • Wallpaper installation
  • Drywall repair and skim coating
  • Surface preparation
  • Cabinet refinishing
  • Insulation and remodeling projects
  • Ability to read plans and specifications
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and crews
  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record
  • Comfortable using technology, smartphones, and project management software
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience working in luxury residential homes
  • Existing relationships with painters, wallpaper installers, or specialty trades
  • Experience managing projects valued from $10,000 to $250,000+
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary
  • Performance-based bonus program
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
  • Company phone and technology package
  • Paid time off
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Year-round work
  • A chance to help build one of the premier painting and wallcovering companies in the Chicago market
If you take pride in craftsmanship, hold people accountable, and know how to deliver a white-glove customer experience, we want to talk to you.
