  • Manage RFIs, submittals, approvals, revisions, and change orders
  • Coordinate with General Contractors, architects, vendors, internal production teams, and field installers
  • Identify potential scheduling, material, production, or installation issues and resolve them before they impact project delivery
  • Use Innergy ERP to track project data, work orders, materials, and production progress
  • Travel to commercial job sites as needed for field coordination, progress reviews, measurements, and installation support
  • Ensure projects move efficiently from CAD/drafting through manufacturing, purchasing, delivery, and installation

Qualifications

  • Previous experience managing or coordinating commercial architectural millwork projects
  • CAD experience required
  • Strong ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, CAD drawings, millwork shop drawings, elevations, details, and specifications
  • Understanding of the complete millwork project lifecycle from contract award and shop drawings through production and field installation
  • Experience coordinating project schedules, purchasing/materials, production, and installation teams
  • Experience working directly with General Contractors, architects, subcontractors, vendors, and field installers
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Experience with RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project documentation
  • ERP experience required or strongly preferred; Innergy ERP experience is a plus
  • Proficiency with Outlook and standard office software
  • Strong communication, organization, follow-through, and problem-solving skills
  • Willingness to travel to local job sites as needed
  • Must be able to successfully complete a drug screening and criminal background check
