Project Manager – Custom Lighting Design & Production

Help turn high-end lighting concepts into finished, beautifully engineered products.

We’re looking for a Project Manager who understands both design and manufacturing, someone who can read technical drawings, manage timelines, communicate with clients, and keep multiple custom projects moving from concept to completion without missing a detail.

This is not a generic PM role. You’ll be the bridge between design, CAD, production, vendors, and clients, making sure every fixture is correctly spec’d, approved, built, and delivered exactly as promised.

Requirements

What You’ll Own

1. Technical & Design Coordination

Review client submissions and confirm that specs are accurate and manufacturable
Approve CAD drawings, spec sheets, and documentation before production begins
Ensure every detail, materials, dimensions, finishes, is correct before anything is built

2. Project Flow & Client Communication

Manage timelines, follow up proactively, and close open loops quickly
Keep clients updated and aligned at every stage
Serve as the main point of contact between design, production, and vendors

3. Vendor & Production Oversight

Coordinate with vendors on materials, feasibility, and lead times
Track remote production progress, verify drawing accuracy, and greenlight next steps
Protect design integrity and quality at every stage of manufacturing

4. Documentation & Accuracy

Maintain clean, organized records and project documentation
Mark up drawings and provide precise notes when corrections are needed
Ensure leadership always has visibility into status and risks

What You Need to Succeed

Proven project management experience in design, lighting, fabrication, or manufacturing
Strong technical literacy, able to read and mark up drawings with confidence
CAD and Adobe Illustrator proficiency (required)
Excellent English communication skills (written + spoken, neutral accent)
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and keep projects on schedule
Sharp attention to detail, high accountability, and proactive follow-through
Experience working with remote production teams is a major plus

Who Thrives in This Role

A technical problem-solver who speaks both “design” and “production”
Someone who loves clarity, clean drawings, and organized systems
A professional communicator who represents the brand well with clients and vendors
A zero-drama operator who owns outcomes, not tasks
A detail-obsessed project finisher who closes loops, not just opens them
