What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager position at The Norfolk Companies?
Description
Project Manager, Multifamily
The Norfolk Companies | Norfolk Multifamily Division
Why This Role Exists
Multifamily developers don't hire us for cabinets and countertops; they hire us to show up on schedule, solve problems before they become delays, and make their job easier. That's not a policy statement. That's the Project Manager's job, every day, on every site.
We're growing our Multifamily division and need a Project Manager who owns projects end-to-end — from the first field measurement through final walkthrough — and who contractors and account managers alike trust to get it right the first time.
Why Join Norfolk?
- Full-time, stable position with a growing Multifamily division
- Competitive compensation
- Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with Company Match
- Paid Time Off
- Family-owned company with over 90 years of stability
- Real ownership and autonomy on projects that matter
- Career growth within a growing organization
What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Own the project, start to finish — from pre-construction through closeout, you're the throughline that keeps cabinetry and countertop delivery on schedule across multiple developments at once.
- Be the field expert — take accurate measurements, adjust shop drawings, and catch discrepancies before they turn into delays or rework.
- Keep everyone aligned — serve as the main point of contact between the job site, the customer, contractors, and every internal department involved in getting product delivered.
- Protect the schedule and the budget — manage procurement timelines, requisitions, payments, lien releases, and cash flow, flagging issues before they become problems.
- Solve problems in real time — resolve field issues, punch list items, freight claims, and billing disputes without letting them stall a job.
- Close projects the right way — manage subcontractor closeout, deliver manuals, warranties, and as-builts, and leave the client with everything they need.
- Build relationships that last — with customers, vendors, contractors, and your internal team, so Norfolk becomes the easy call on the next project too.
Requirements
- 5 years of project management experience in multifamily, residential construction, cabinetry, millwork, countertops, remodeling, or a closely related field
- The ability to accurately field measure and translate that into adjusted shop drawings
- Strong organizational and time-management skills — you can run several projects at once without dropping a ball
- Comfort managing schedules, budgets, and vendor relationships with minimal supervision
- Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, Calendar)
- A valid driver's license and a clean driving record — you'll be on the road to job sites regularly
It's a big plus if you have:
- Experience supplying building materials through a distribution channel
- Prior hands-on experience with cabinetry products
- Familiarity with Buildertrend, Procore, Bluebeam, or 20/20 design software
- Bilingual English/Spanish
You'll thrive here if you're:
- A natural point-of-contact — calm under pressure, clear on the phone, and someone contractors actually want to call
- Detail-obsessed when it comes to measurements, orders, and documentation
- Proactive rather than reactive — you flag the problem before it costs anyone a week
- Frequent travel to job sites throughout the assigned territory
- Able to walk, bend, and stand for extended periods during site visits and field measurements
- Able to carry and load product as needed (up to 40 lbs)
- Periodic evening and weekend work required
- Professional appearance expected at all customer and job site interactions
