Project Manager

ABOUT US

Solidoors is a premier manufacturer of high-quality, custom wood doors that specializes in large-scale residential and hospitality projects. We blend craftsmanship with careful planning and fabrication technology to deliver superior products that meet the most demanding architectural and design standards. Operating in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment, we ensure seamless execution from concept to completion.

We are seeking a Project Manager with an understanding of doors, millwork, architecture, and/or manufacturing to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will have exceptional attention to detail, strong business acumen, and the ability to think through systems, scalability, and cascading effects of project decisions. This role requires someone who can analyze architectural drawings, door schedules, hardware specifications, tear sheets, shop drawings, and data sets to identify discrepancies and ensure accuracy while also managing project costs, timelines, and supplier/client relationships.

Note: this is a new business that requires individuals who are comfortable working in an entrepreneurial setting with an “all hands on deck” mentality. If you are searching for a standard 9-5 job, this may not be the position for you. We are looking to hire for this position immediately.
