Junior Project Manager

Position Overview

Ceiling Pro Indy is looking for a detail-oriented Junior Project Manager to help keep our commercial ceiling projects organized, on schedule, and moving smoothly from bid to completion. This role is a strong fit for someone who is highly organized, tech-comfortable, communicates clearly with clients and crews, and can quickly learn the technical side of our industry — including ceiling systems, grid layouts, materials, and installation methods.

Employment Type:

Full-time

Location:

Hybrid — Sheridan, Indiana. In-office as needed for site visits, meetings, or hands-on system work; remote otherwise.

• Coordinate day-to-day project logistics — schedules, submittals, purchase orders, and deliveries — across multiple active jobs.
• Serve as a point of contact between clients, subcontractors, field crews, and vendors, keeping everyone aligned and informed.
• Track project timelines and budgets, flagging risks or delays before they become problems.
• Maintain organized project documentation: contracts, drawings, change orders, RFIs, and closeout files.
• Learn and work within our project management and scheduling software, and help the team get more out of the tools we already use.
• Get up to speed on the technical side of commercial ceiling systems — suspended grids, acoustic tile, specialty and architectural ceilings — well enough to read drawings, spot discrepancies, and speak knowledgeably with clients and installers.
• Support estimating and bidding by organizing take-offs, specs, and pricing information.
• Attend site visits and progress meetings as needed.

• Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Comfortable with technology — quick to learn new software, comfortable with spreadsheets, and generally at ease troubleshooting systems.
• A clear, professional communicator, in writing and in person, with clients, crews, and leadership alike.
• Able to pick up new systems and technical concepts quickly, including the more technical aspects of the ceiling industry (prior construction experience is a plus but not required).
• Able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines without dropping details.
• Comfortable with a hybrid schedule — self-directed on remote days, present and engaged when in-office or on-site.
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in construction management, business, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.

• Prior exposure to commercial construction, specialty contracting, or interior finishes.
• Experience with project management or scheduling software (e.g., , asana, etc.).
• Basic blueprint or drawing-reading skills.
