About Us

We are a family-owned custom millwork and kitchen design company with over 60 years of experience and multiple locations across New York and Miami. We specialize in high-end residential kitchens, custom cabinetry, and millwork installations. We are growing rapidly and looking for a highly organized, proactive team member to help manage operations between the office, field, installers, and project sites.

Position Overview

We are looking for a detail-oriented and dependable Project Coordinator to assist with scheduling, field coordination, inventory management, service follow-up, and project support specifically within the custom kitchen, cabinetry, and millwork industry.

This is a hands-on, coordination-level role — not a design, project management, or superintendent position. You will support production and installation from behind the scenes and on-site, keeping communication organized between clients, installers, contractors, and our internal team.

This is a hybrid role involving office responsibilities and site visits throughout NYC and Long Island (1–2 field days per week).

Qualifications

Required Experience

At least 2+ years of hands-on experience specifically in kitchen cabinetry, custom millwork, or high-end residential kitchen/bath installation — general construction, superintendent, or corporate project-management experience without direct cabinetry/millwork/kitchen exposure will not be considered a match for this role.
Comfortable reading shop drawings, cut lists, and cabinetry specs (not just architectural plans)
Experience working directly with installers, cabinet shops, or kitchen/millwork subcontractors day-to-day — not just overseeing them at a project-management distance

Strongly Preferred

Familiarity with kitchen design software (2020 Design Live, Cyncly 2020, or similar) — you don't need to design, but you should be able to read a layout
Experience coordinating punch lists and service calls after installation
Understanding of MEP drawings as they relate to kitchen/millwork rough-ins

Skills

Extremely organized and detail-oriented
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Comfortable managing multiple projects at once
Ability to work independently and take initiative
Tech-savvy and comfortable with Google Workspace, spreadsheets, and project management tools
Reliable transportation and willingness to travel to job sites

⸻

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is:

⁠ Has spent real time in a cabinet shop, kitchen showroom, or on a millwork installation crew — this is industry-specific experience, not general construction

Is proactive instead of reactive, and good under pressure
Is looking for a coordination-level role long-term — not a stepping stone while job-searching for a Project Manager or Superintendent title, and not a step down from one
Is organized enough to keep projects and service issues from slipping through the cracks
Is looking for long-term growth within a fast-growing company

⸻

Compensation

⁠ ⁠Competitive salary based on experience
⁠ ⁠Opportunity for growth into managment
⁠ ⁠Company phone / mileage reimbursement (if applicable)
⁠ ⁠Full-time position
