About DFH Commercial

DFH Commercial is a specialized Division 8 distributor serving commercial construction projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Founded in 2015 by four experienced industry professionals, the company has grown to more than 30 employees while building its business around long-term relationships, repeat customers, and strong project execution.

Headquartered in Lorton, Virginia, DFH provides commercial doors, frames, and hardware for projects across the country. Our team works with a broad range of manufacturers, general contractors, owners, and industry partners to deliver complete Division 8 solutions.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our Northern Virginia headquarters and manage commercial door, frame, and hardware projects from contract award through completion.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands commercial construction, takes ownership of their projects, and knows how to build strong relationships with customers and vendors. You’ll have the support of an established team, access to a broad product offering, and significant earning potential tied directly to your performance.

Why DFH

Strong earning potential: This position offers a competitive base salary plus uncapped commission. Your earning potential grows with your performance, with top performers earning more than $200,000 annually.

Established relationships and reputation: You’ll be joining a company with an established customer base, strong vendor relationships, and a proven reputation in the commercial construction industry.

A specialized industry with long-term value. Division 8 is a specialized segment of commercial construction where experience and product knowledge matter. If you have the right construction background, we’re willing to train you on the industry.

Minimal travel: Majority of the role is performed from our Lorton office. Site visits and field measurements are occasionally required, but travel is not a major part of the position.

Experienced leadership. All four DFH founders started as project managers themselves. Our leadership team understands the demands of the position and the support required to manage projects successfully.

What You’ll Do

As a Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of projects from contract award through delivery and completion. Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing and interpreting contract documents, architectural drawings, and specifications for commercial door, frame, and hardware scopes
• Performing material takeoffs and preparing accurate, complete submittal packages for architect review
• Negotiating contract values and scopes of work with general contractors and owners
• Writing and tracking material orders through production and shipping
• Coordinating deliveries with field and installation teams
• Managing relationships with existing customers, vendors, and subcontractors
• Troubleshooting issues on active projects and developing solutions that keep work moving
• Managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, communication, and schedule

DFH works with all major manufacturers, giving our project managers broad product access and the flexibility to develop the right solution for each project.

What This Role Is — and Isn’t

This is not a cold-sales position . Our estimating team bids and secures the work; our Project Managers take ownership once the project is awarded.

Your focus will be on executing projects well, maintaining strong customer relationships, and identifying opportunities to grow existing business. Previous business development experience is a plus, but cold prospecting is not a core responsibility of this position.

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who is organized, accountable, comfortable managing multiple priorities, and able to communicate effectively with customers, vendors, and internal teams.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• 3+ years of experience in commercial door, frame, and hardware estimating or project management; strongly preferred
• Alternatively, 3+ years of commercial construction estimating or project management experience
• Experience reading architectural drawings, specifications, and contract documents
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple active projects at once
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Experience with Comsense ERP is a plus, but not required
• Reliable transportation and the ability to work full-time from our Lorton office
• U.S. citizenship and the ability to pass a background check

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $55,000–$65,000 + uncapped commission

On-Target Earnings: $80,000–$180,000+

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees
• 80% employer-paid coverage for spouses and dependents
• 401(k) with company match
