The Role
• Position: Project Manager Stone & Tile
• Location: Sun Valley, CA (shop/office) + jobsites across Los Angeles County
• Type: Full-time, on-site
• Reports to: Owner
The Project Manager is assigned a job and owns it from signed contract until the client signs it off as 100% complete, taking full control of its progress. You will run several jobs at once and make sure all information for each job reaches the right departments: estimating, drafting/engineering, purchasing, the fabrication shop, field superintendents, and accounting. You are the main point of contact for the GC, architect, designer, and homeowner, and you bring to the client's attention any change that affects the contract price.
Key Responsibilities
PLANNING
1. Gather all information from the estimator; review the contract, plans, and specifications, and flag exclusions, gaps, and risk before work starts.
2. Organize the project: set up the project directory, budget, and field forms.
3. Identify our scope of work; review the project take-off and schedule, and confirm quantities, material selections, and budget.
4. Create a workflow and project schedule to completion, aligned with the GC's master schedule.
5. Develop a plan for shop drawings and slab layouts with the drafting/engineering department.
6. Compile a stone and tile material list; get samples for client approval and coordinate slab selection, stone yard visits, and book-match approvals.
7. Select supplies and have our purchasing agent price and order all materials, including setting and miscellaneous materials, so costs can be monitored; track lead times and deliveries.
8. Prepare and track submittals, samples, mock-ups, and RFIs.
EXECUTION
1. Coordinate schedules with the GC/customer.
2. Obtain from the GC/customer all items and information drafting/engineering needs to complete the shop drawings.
3. Approve and sign off all shop drawings and cut tickets before submittal; get client approvals in writing.
4. Make sure all stone production items for the job are fit to be produced; schedule fabrication with the shop and confirm field templates and measurements.
5. Confirm site readiness (substrate, waterproofing, other trades) before crews mobilize.
6. Identify changes in the project, estimate and price them, and submit change orders to the GC/customer. Track each one until approved and signed before the extra work is done, then coordinate it with the superintendent.
7. Make sure installations follow manufacturer requirements and TCNA / ANSI A108 guidelines.
MONITORING AND CONTROL
1. Review crew size and job personnel with the superintendent and agree on the best way to manage the project.
2. Track installation progress through weekly site visits and superintendent reports, checking quality, progress, and safety compliance.
3. Monitor the accuracy of timecards for each project.
4. Review job costs against budget weekly and take whatever action is needed to keep the project within budget.
5. Review the project take-off worksheet continuously to keep the scope accurate and make sure all work performed is within the contract scope.
6. Determine percentage of completion for each schedule of values item per billing unit; prepare monthly progress billings and manage retention and lien releases.
7. Make sure accounting has accurate information throughout the project to support billing and collection.
8. Keep the GC, architect, designer, and homeowner informed, and keep records: daily logs, photos, meeting notes, and correspondence.
CLOSURE
1. Walk the job once it is installed, and do a final walkthrough with the GC/customer to confirm the work meets their expectations.
2. Review the punch list to make sure no additional work has been added; anything new goes through a change order.
3. Set a schedule for final adjustments with the GC/customer.
4. Prepare closeout documentation, including care-and-maintenance instructions and warranties.
