one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A junior project manager quoting under supervision and a head of projects running several sites don't take the same search. The fee follows that difficulty.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the real scope of the jobs doesn't match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a joinery project manager is judged on the doors that still close, years after installation
a good project manager is already quoting the next job
They track the workshop build and the installation sites in progress. They aren't looking for a job. A joinery headhunter knows when and how to approach them.
wood, aluminium, PVC: three materials, three ways to quote
A joinery project manager moves from a wood frame to an aluminium facade or a shop fit-out. The headhunter checks which materials the profile has actually quoted, not just the ones they mention.
a hiring mistake shows up in a badly hung door
A wrong take-off, an incomplete execution drawing, a workshop build restarted. The headhunter checks the joinery projects actually quoted and delivered before introducing anyone.
the roles
the joinery project manager profiles our headhunters go after for you
From a first workshop take-off to leading several installation sites, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired that profile.
junior joinery project manager
They quote simple installations under supervision and start tracking the workshop build.
joinery project manager
They measure, quote and run their interior and exterior joinery jobs through to handover. The most requested role.
aluminium joinery project manager
They quote facades and exterior joinery in aluminium, with thermal and acoustic standards to meet.
fit-out project manager
They run shop, office or hotel fit-outs and professional kitchens, from execution drawing to furniture installation.
head of joinery projects
They lead several project managers, set margin targets and become the go-to person for architects and clients.
the method
a joinery headhunter, not an agency that does everything
A joinery project manager quotes in the workshop before running the installation. The method starts from what the job has to deliver.
we define the materials and the jobs to run
Wood, aluminium, PVC, shop or professional kitchen fit-outs: the brief describes the materials and the average job value for the role.
a headhunter who places joinery project managers
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who place the most people in joinery and fit-out.
quoted drawings and checked installations
The headhunter asks the profile to walk through a real job: the take-off, the workshop adjustments, the final margin on the installed job. Then they cross-check with references.

hiring a joinery project manager: what you need to know
A joinery project manager runs a job end to end: they measure on site, quote the build, track the workshop and then the installation through to handover. Good profiles are in post, busy with current jobs, and don't answer job ads.
A joinery headhunter knows how to approach them and asks the right questions: which materials, what average job value, how much fit-out work. You meet profiles who have actually quoted and delivered joinery jobs.
joinery project manager or joiner-installer: who does what?
A joiner-installer builds and fits the joinery on site, by hand. A joinery project manager quotes the job before it starts, negotiates with the client and runs the build and installation, without necessarily picking up tools.
Specify in the brief whether the role only runs the job or also keeps a hands-on workshop share: the two profiles aren't hired the same way.
The CV lists jobs completed, but you need to check what actually happened: the initial take-off, the workshop adjustments made for a wrong measurement, the final margin against the planned margin.
A short case study works well: a joinery drawing, a production hiccup, and the question of how the project manager would react. The headhunter does this first screen before introducing anyone.
Running a shop, office or professional kitchen fit-out means holding a tight opening deadline and coordinating other trades alongside joinery, such as electrical work or painting. The project manager has to arbitrate between them on site.
According to Urssaf, wood and PVC joinery companies employed 96,448 people at the end of 2025, up 4% over six years: a hiring sector where this multi-trade profile is getting harder to find.
your questions about hiring a joinery project manager
Yes. According to Urssaf, wood and PVC joinery companies employ 4% more people than six years ago, a sign of sustained activity. According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, employers announced 9,250 planned hires for skilled joinery and construction fit-out workers.
Yes. According to France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, 71.2% of planned hires for skilled joinery and construction fit-out workers are rated hard to fill by employers. The shortage of skilled labour also weighs on the team the project manager has to lead.
In most companies, one person runs both: joinery and fit-outs for shops, offices or professional kitchens. If the role is mostly fit-out, say so in the brief: the headhunter will look for fit-out references rather than window installation ones.
