Project Manager – Commercial Glazing

Location: Tallahassee, FL

Department: Operations

Employment Type: Full-Time, Salary

Reports To: Operations Manager

Hiring Timeline: Immediate

About the Role

Are you a detail-oriented leader with the technical knowledge to manage complex commercial glazing projects? We’re looking for a Project Manager to oversee projects from pre-construction through closeout, with direct responsibility for planning, budgeting, material procurement, submittals, fabrication coordination, installation sequencing, and stakeholder communication. You’ll ensure complete and accurate material packages are released on time, projects are delivered safely and within budget, and the finished work meets Miller Glass’s quality standards.

What You’ll Do

• Project Planning and Execution — lead assigned projects from turnover through closeout by developing and maintaining project schedules, procurement logs, submittal schedules, fabrication milestones, installation plans, manpower needs, and closeout requirements; identify critical-path activities and address potential delays before they affect the work.
• Budget Management and Forecasting — manage project budgets, material buyout, labor forecasts, subcontractor costs, change orders, and cost-to-complete projections; review actual costs against estimates and take timely corrective action to protect approved gross-margin targets.
• Documentation and Submittals — prepare, review, submit, and track product data, shop drawings, samples, RFIs, substitution requests, change documentation, warranties, and closeout records; confirm that approved submittals align with contract documents, field conditions, fabrication requirements, and material releases.
• Material Procurement, Vendor Coordination, and Logistics — prepare accurate takeoffs and purchase orders; verify quantities, finishes, glass types, aluminum systems, door hardware, accessories, and approved substitutions; coordinate releases with approved submittals and verified field dimensions; review order acknowledgments, monitor lead times and deliveries, and resolve shortages, damage, or incorrect materials before they disrupt fabrication or installation.
• Client and Stakeholder Communication — serve as the primary project contact for general contractors, owners, architects, vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams; lead coordination meetings, document commitments, communicate schedule and scope changes, and resolve issues professionally and promptly.
• Field Coordination and Quality Control — coordinate with field leadership to verify openings, dimensions, substrates, embeds, blocking, waterproofing interfaces, access, and site readiness before releasing materials or mobilizing crews; support installation sequencing, inspect work for compliance with approved documents and Miller Glass standards, and drive timely resolution of punch-list items.
• Billing and Pay Applications — prepare accurate, timely schedule-of-values updates, monthly pay applications, stored-material documentation, change-order billing, and supporting records; monitor approvals, retainage, collections, and payment status while coordinating with accounting to resolve discrepancies.
