ABOUT US
At Lakeside Surfaces, we do not just fabricate countertops. We help bring visions to life in homes, offices, and large-scale commercial projects across the Midwest. As Michigan’s premier fabricator and installer of granite, marble, and quartz, we are known for unmatched quality, cutting-edge fabrication, and a relentless focus on customer service

THE ROLE

At Lakeside Surfaces , we don’t just fabricate countertops - we help build the spaces where life happens. From family kitchens to large commercial projects, our work becomes part of people’s everyday moments. Behind every successful installation is a team that believes in doing things the right way, supporting each other, and taking pride in the details.

We’re looking for a Project Coordinator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes ownership of getting things done. Someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, communicating across teams, and making sure projects move smoothly from order to installation. If you’re highly organized, proactive, and energized by solving problems before they become problems, you’ll fit right in.

At Lakeside Surfaces, our culture is built on our #GRIT values :

• Going the Extra Mile – We don’t settle for “good enough.” We deliver exceptional results for our customers and our teammates.

• Reliably Serving Others – Whether supporting a builder, designer, or coworker, we show up and follow through.

• Inspiring Trust – We communicate clearly, own our responsibilities, and do what we say we’ll do.

• Team Above Self – Success at Lakeside is a team effort, and we believe great projects are built through collaboration.

As a Project Coordinator , you’ll be at the center of that collaboration - coordinating schedules, communicating with customers and internal teams, and helping ensure every project is executed with precision and care.

If you’re someone who takes pride in organization, thrives on teamwork, and wants to be part of a company that values GRIT, excellence, and craftsmanship , we’d love to meet you.
