We are seeking a highly experienced Project Manager/Estimator with 12+ years of experience to oversee and coordinate custom millwork, windows, doors, and architectural woodwork projects from initial bid through final installation. This role combines accurate estimating, project planning, team coordination, and on‑site management to ensure quality workmanship, timely delivery, and client satisfaction.

• Review project plans, architectural drawings, specifications, and client requirements to prepare detailed cost estimates (materials, labor, subcontractors, installation) and bid proposals.
• Perform quantity takeoffs and prepare bills of materials for millwork, windows, doors, custom cabinetry, moldings, and related woodwork.
• Collaborate with design/engineering, shop floor, and production teams to coordinate shop drawings, submittals, mock‑ups, and manufacturing schedules.
• Once a project is awarded, coordinate and manage all aspects of execution: procurement of materials, fabrication scheduling, manufacturing, delivery logistics, and on‑site installation.
• Serve as the main point‑of‑contact for clients, architects, general contractors, subcontractors, and internal teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Create and maintain project schedules and critical‑path timelines; manage multiple projects simultaneously while ensuring deadlines, quality standards, and budget targets are met.
• Monitor project progress and costs vs. estimates; handle change orders, scope adjustments, and ensure accurate documentation.
• Conduct field measurements and site visits as needed to verify conditions, coordinate installation logistics, and address any discrepancies between plans and existing conditions.
• Ensure quality control, compliance with design specifications, and proper coordination with other trades on‑site.
• Provide regular status updates, reports, and communications to management and stakeholders.
• Assist with value‑engineering and cost‑saving proposals where appropriate, balancing quality with budget constraints.

• 12+ years of experience in millwork, custom carpentry, windows/doors fabrication or installation, or architectural woodworking project management.
• Strong ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, blueprints, shop drawings, and specifications.
• Familiarity with millwork manufacturing processes, wood products, windows/doors fabrication and installation, and related materials.
• Proficiency in estimating methods, cost takeoffs, bills of materials, scheduling, and project planning.
• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and client‑relation skills.
• Ability to coordinate across teams: design/engineering, shop floor, production, installation crews, and external contractors/subcontractors.
• Capacity for occasional site visits, measurements, and on‑site supervision as needed.
• Proficiency with relevant software/tools (e.g., CAD or millwork shop‑drawing software, spreadsheet/estimating tools, project management tools).
• Commitment to craftsmanship, quality standards, and delivering projects on time and on budget.

• An analytical mindset with ability to translate drawings and specifications into accurate estimates and executable plans.
• Problem‑solving skills to anticipate and address design, scheduling, or installation challenges.
• Leadership and coordination abilities to guide teams, communicate with clients and subcontractors, and drive projects to completion.
• A strong sense of quality, detail, and commitment to meeting high‑end millwork standards.
