Project Manager

About the Company

S.J. Janis is a long-tenured, family-owned residential remodeling firm serving

the Greater Milwaukee market. Founded in 1951, the team delivers high

end, design-build remodeling - from whole-home transformations and

complex renovations to additions - with a reputation built on craftsmanship,

communication, and trust.

The company operates with an in-house, end-to-end model (consultation

through design through build), supported by a modern, client-facing office in

Elm Grove and a mix of employed team members plus trusted trade

partners. S.J. Janis is EOS-aligned and runs with a leadership team that

values clear accountability and strong operating rhythms.

Role Summary

The Project Manager is accountable for coordinating, managing, and hands-on

execution of multiple concurrent high-end remodeling projects averaging $250,000

each. This leader ensures projects are delivered on-time, on-budget, and of

exceptional quality while providing a high-touch client experience that exceeds

expectations through daily communication, proactive problem-solving, and

meticulous attention to detail.

This role is on-site in Elm Grove with regular travel to active job sites, leveraging

BuilderTrend as the primary operating platform. The Project Manager reports to the

Production Manager and is expected to be dependable, organized, and relationship

focused, able to manage client expectations, coordinate trade partners, and execute

hands-on carpentry work when needed to maintain project momentum and quality

standards.

The Mission

S.J. Janis exists to deliver high-end remodeling experiences that clients trust

from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. The mission is

simple: do what we say we will do - build with craftsmanship, communicate

clearly, and protect the homeowner relationship at every step. Every project

is an opportunity to earn a client for life through disciplined planning, strong field

leadership, and pride in the finished product.

Why Janis?

S.J. Janis offers a rare combination of stability, quality, and impact in residential remodeling. Team members join a family-owned company with decades of trust in the Milwaukee market, where the work is consistently high-end and technically interesting, and where craftsmanship and clear communication are non-negotiable. The environment is collaborative across Sales, Design, and Production, supported by strong standards and systems that enable teams to run projects professionally.
