*DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CARPENTRY EXPERINCE*
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
