Truecoat Painters

The Painting & Drywall Project Manager runs projects in the field once they're sold — coordinating crews, managing timelines, and making sure both painting and drywall/texture work are completed to TrueCoat's standards. This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who knows the trade, can spot a problem before it becomes a delay, and keeps customers and crews aligned throughout the life of a project.

$75,000 - $105,000 yearly

Project Execution

• Manage residential and commercial projects from kickoff through final walkthrough, including both painting and drywall/texture scopes
• Schedule crews and subcontractors, sequence work correctly (e.g., drywall repair and texture-matching ahead of paint), and keep projects moving on timeline
• Conduct site walkthroughs to assess drywall damage, texture matching needs, and surface prep requirements before and during work
• Order and coordinate materials, ensuring the right products, sheens, textures, and colors are on-site when needed
• Monitor project budgets and labor hours to keep jobs on track against the estimated margin

Quality & Standards

• Perform quality checks throughout each project — drywall patch and texture blending, prep work, and final paint finish
• Catch and resolve issues (surface defects, color mismatches, texture inconsistencies) before they become customer complaints
• Ensure crews follow proper safety practices and TrueCoat's quality standards on every job

Customer & Team Communication

• Serve as the on-site point of contact for customers during active projects, providing clear updates on progress and timeline
• Communicate proactively with the sales and office team on project status, changes in scope, or delays
• Manage crew performance and provide on-the-job coaching and direction
• Support smooth handoff from sales/estimating into execution, and from execution into final customer sign-off

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in construction project management - a significant hands-on trade experience with project oversight responsibility
• Working knowledge of painting prep and application
• Strong scheduling and organizational skills — able to manage multiple crews and projects at different stages simultaneously
• Comfortable leading and coaching crews in the field
• Clear communicator, both with customers and internally with the office team
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to job sites across the Denver/Boulder Front Range
• A quality-first mindset — you catch the details others miss

What Success Looks Like

• Projects completed on time, on budget, and at or above target gross margin
• Excellent customer communication and a positive customer experience
• Consistent quality across both drywall and paint scopes, with minimal callbacks
• Strong customer satisfaction and positive reviews are tied to project execution
• Crews that are well-coordinated, safety-conscious, and hitting daily production targets
