About:
Company designs and builds custom wellness spaces for high-end homes, including indoor and outdoor saunas, cold plunges, steam rooms, spa rooms, and complete home wellness areas. We also take on custom fabrication projects such as steel-and-wood staircases. Each project involves design, sourcing specialty materials, fabrication, installation, and a white-glove client handover. We manage multiple projects at once and are looking for a Project Manager to take full ownership of our installation operations.
The Role
Once a proposal is signed, you take ownership of the project. You plan and schedule the work, manage crews and subcontractors, track materials, keep clients informed, and close out every detail with a completed punch list and professional handover. Your goal is to deliver each project on time and to an exceptional finish standard.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review signed proposals, drawings, and scopes of work; create installation plans and schedules.
- Schedule and coordinate installation crews and subcontractors across multiple active job sites. Perform field measurements and site verification before fabrication; identify issues early.
- Track material orders, including heaters, glass, wood, and hardware, and follow up with suppliers to prevent delays. Supervise installation days on site, maintaining quality, safety, and white-glove cleanliness. Maintain current project schedules and status reports covering dates, crews, materials, and blockers; provide daily updates.
- Communicate professionally with clients, confirm dates, share progress, and manage expectations.
- Own project punch lists, assign outstanding items, and ensure completion before handover.
- Track project hours and costs against proposal budgets and report variances.
- Coordinate deliveries, pickups, and logistics between the shop and job sites.
- Work closely with sales, proposals, and administration to keep communication consistent.
Requirements:
- Formal project management education or certification is required: a degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field, or PMP / CAPM certification.
- At least 3 years of project management experience in construction, residential renovation, millwork, or installations.
- Bilingual English and Spanish strongly preferred to coordinate with crews, partners, office staff, and clients.
- Exceptional organization, follow-through, scheduling, and attention to detail. Ability to read drawings and take accurate field measurements.
- Proficiency with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs) and WhatsApp; CRM or project management software experience is a plus.
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel daily throughout the NJ / NY metro area.
- Hands-on approach and comfort working full days on active construction sites.
- Professional presentation and communication with high-end residential clients; pride in exceptional craftsmanship.
