We are currently seeking a Project Manager / Design Manager to join our team in a full-time, in-house role based in our Goshen, NY area operations. This pivotal position acts as the essential bridge between our sales team and clients once a project is secured. You will take full ownership of transforming client requirements into highly optimized, functional warehouse and storage layouts — developing precise designs that include aisle spacing, pallet positions, rack configurations, conveyor placements, and overall space utilization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create detailed and accurate warehouse layouts, including aisle spacing, pallet positions, rack configurations, conveyor systems, mezzanines, and comprehensive space optimization plans.

• Collaborate closely with the sales team, estimating/engineering staff, installation crews, and suppliers to ensure seamless project execution from design through completion.
• Manage project timelines, deliverables, resources, and budgets to keep initiatives on schedule and within scope.
• Prepare, review, and refine technical drawings, layouts, and supporting documentation using industry tools (full training provided).
• Support permitting processes as needed and ensure all designs meet relevant safety, operational, and compliance standards.
• Conduct occasional site visits or virtual reviews to validate designs and assist during installation phases.
• Proactively troubleshoot design or layout challenges and recommend practical, value-driven solutions.
• Track project progress, maintain detailed documentation, and contribute ideas for improving our design and project management workflows.

Qualifications:

• Exceptional organizational skills with the proven ability to manage multiple projects and details simultaneously without losing focus.
• Strong communication and interpersonal abilities — comfortable engaging professionally with clients, internal teams, and field personnel.
• Proficiency or quick aptitude to learn design and layout software/tools for creating warehouse and facility plans (comprehensive training provided).
• Detail-oriented with a practical, solutions-focused approach to spatial planning and problem-solving.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings or blueprints is considered a strong plus.
• Previous experience in project management, design, engineering, construction coordination, or a similar role is beneficial but not required — we place high value on attitude, learning agility, and reliability.

Compensation:

• The base salary for this position ranges from $65,000 to $85,000 annually, depending on experience, skills, and training needs.
