Job Description

Project Manager - Architectural Metalworking

SF Metalworks
Location: Colusa, CA | Onsite

Join Our Team

We're a home-grown California architectural metalworking shop known for craftsmanship, precision, and collaboration. We're looking for a Project Manager to lead our jobs from start to finish-owning project schedules, managing the 2-Week Look Ahead (and all other look-aheads), and ensuring projects stay on track, on budget, and on time.

This is not a traditional shop foreman role. While you'll work closely with our production and fabrication teams, your focus is on project planning, scheduling, communication, and accountability-being the connective tissue between clients, designers, leadership, and the shop.

What You'll Do

Project & Schedule Management

• Own and update the 2-Week Look Ahead and all forward-looking schedules.
• Track milestones, procurement needs, and dependencies across projects.
• Anticipate and resolve bottlenecks before they impact production.
• Deliver clear "on track / off track" updates to leadership and clients.

Cross-Team Coordination

• Act as liaison between shop, design/estimating, and office staff.
• Support estimators with scope clarifications and real-time production data.
• Ensure proactive communication with clients, designers, and subcontractors.

Operational Oversight

• Utilize project data and reporting through Fulcrum ERP and other systems.
• Approve and verify time and cost reporting (QuickBooks Time).
• Monitor inventory standards, labor hours, and change orders to keep budgets accurate.
• Identify schedule risks and capacity issues, recommending adjustments.

Continuous Improvement

• Propose at least one efficiency or scheduling improvement per month.
• Support leadership with resource allocation and workload planning.
• Ensure OSHA practices and shop safety compliance are consistently upheld.

Who We're Looking For

This role is a fit for someone who:

• Thrives in scheduling and project coordination, not hands-on fabrication.
• Enjoys creating order, managing moving parts, and keeping teams aligned.
• Is proactive, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure.
• Has a strong sense of accountability and ownership over deadlines.

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ Years Experience in Previous Residential Building, or Architectural Metalworking management and administrative experience
• 5+ Proven experience managing projects, schedules, and look-ahead planning in construction, manufacturing, or fabrication.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Familiarity with ERP platforms (Fulcrum experience a plus), scheduling tools, and timekeeping systems.
• Ability to manage multiple jobs simultaneously.

Preferred, but not required

• Background in architectural metalworking, fabrication, or custom manufacturing.
• Knowledge of OSHA standards and compliance.
