Project Manager

At Groh, every project is someone's dream room and the Project Manager is the person who makes sure that dream actually gets built.

You'll own the day-to-day execution of client projects from the moment design is approved to the day

the room is complete and closed out. That means coordinating contractors, tracking orders with

procurement, keeping clients informed, and making sure every moving piece lands where it's supposed to; on time and on budget. This is not a role for someone who needs all the answers before they start. It's a role for someone who thrives in motion, manages complexity without getting rattled, and knows the difference between a decision they should make and one that needs to go up the chain.
