Door Project Manager

This is a door industry role first and a project management role second. You will manage house account projects for a door manufacturer and supplier, from the initial quote through to completion, coordinating internal teams, customers, designers, manufacturers and suppliers along the way. What makes it technical rather than administrative is the review work. Customers and designers send in specifications, and a large part of this job is reading them critically: is the hardware appropriate for the door weight, does the machining make sense, can this configuration actually be built and installed as drawn. Catching a problem at that stage costs a phone call. Missing it costs a manufacturing run. You will also handle high volume quoting, accurate order processing, sourcing from suppliers and manufacturers, and rigorous tracking across several live projects at once. And you will act as the technical advisor in the room: explaining limitations, recommending alternatives, and asking the right questions when a specification is incomplete or contradictory, to technical and non technical people alike.
