4d•Onsite

About The Position

Palette Pro Painting & Renovation is a full-service painting, carpentry, renovation, and general contracting company serving high-end residential clients across Westchester and Fairfield County, with a growing footprint in South Florida. Homeowners, interior designers, and architects work with us because we pair real craftsmanship with professional project management — clear communication, clean jobsites, and finished work that holds up. We are looking for a Production Manager / Field Supervisor who can take ownership of projects in the field and make sure they are completed on time, on budget, and to Palette Pro's quality standards. This is not a position for someone who needs to be constantly managed. We need a proactive problem solver who can lead painting crews, coordinate subcontractors and other trades, communicate professionally with clients, and keep multiple projects moving.
