Description:

The Role

As a Commercial Project Manager at Cutting Edge, you’ll run commercial countertop projects from handoff to final install. You’ll deal with GCs who change schedules daily, site conditions that don’t match drawings, materials with real lead times, and installers who need clear direction. This position is located in Northwest Ohio.

We’re not looking for a clipboard manager. We’re looking for someone who owns jobs. If you take pride in solving problems, pushing projects forward, and making sure installs happen on time — keep reading.

About Cutting Edge Countertops

At Cutting Edge Countertops, we build more than countertops — we build the surfaces people live and work on every day.

From high-end multifamily and healthcare facilities to hospitality, corporate spaces, and custom residential projects, our work shows up where precision matters. We fabricate and install quartz, granite, solid surface and more — combining craftsmanship with technology to deliver consistently exceptional results.

But what really sets us apart isn’t just the stone. - It’s the people. We’re a fast-growing, team-driven operation where production, project management, field crews, and leadership work side by side to get the job done right. We move fast. We solve problems. We meet high standards. And we take pride in delivering to our customers when deadlines are tight and expectations are high.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Take over awarded commercial projects and drive them to completion
• Read drawings like they matter (because they do)
• Catch scope gaps before they become field disasters
• Coordinate between sales, CAD, production, purchasing, and install crews
• Run kickoff calls that set expectations early and clearly
• Track schedules aggressively — and adjust when (not if) they move
• Make sure materials are ordered correctly and on time
• Handle submittals, RFIs, approvals, and change orders without drama
• Coordinate field templates and confirm jobsite readiness
• Prevent install-day surprises whenever possible
• Solve install-day problems professionally when surprises happen anyway
• Protect margins by controlling scope creep
• Close out projects cleanly — punch lists, documentation, billing milestones

You’ll likely manage multiple projects at once. Some smooth. Some chaotic. All yours.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years managing commercial construction or building product projects
• Experience dealing directly with general contractors and superintendents
• Thick skin and professional communication skills
• Strong understanding of how jobs actually get built
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings
• Detail-oriented but decisive
• Organized without being rigid
• Comfortable in both an office and a production shop

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience in countertop fabrication (quartz, granite, solid surface)
• Manufacturing background
• Experience coordinating field measurements and install sequencing
• Familiarity with commercial submittal processes
• OSHA certification

What Success Looks Like

• Installs happen when they’re supposed to.
• Production isn’t scrambling because of preventable errors.
• GCs trust you.
• Change orders are documented and approved.
• Problems get solved before they escalate.
• You take ownership instead of passing blame.

The Environment

We are a fast-moving commercial countertop manufacturer. Deadlines matter. Details matter. Communication matters.

You’ll work with sales, CAD, production, and install teams daily. You’ll walk the shop floor. You’ll visit jobsites. You’ll be in the middle of real work — not watching from the sidelines.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience, $80,000+ commensurate with experience
• Medical, Dental and Vision
• PTO and holidays
• 401(k) (with company match)
• Growth opportunity in a company that’s scaling
