Role Overview

The Assistant Project Manager will work alongside Senior PMs and Superintendents on diverse commercial projects-ranging from ground-up builds to complex renovations.

  • Track project schedules, budgets, and change orders
  • Participate in subcontractor coordination, site meetings, and quality control
  • Communicate with clients, vendors, and internal teams to ensure project alignment
  • Provide reliable support to Project Managers and Superintendents on all active jobs
Preferred Project Experience
  • Commercial construction experience
  • Exposure to higher education, hospitality, institutional, or diverse commercial projects
  • Experience with projects ranging from $1M-$20M (experience with larger is a plus)
  • Ground-up construction experience strongly preferred
Qualifications
  • 2-4+ years of experience as a Junior Project Manager, Project Engineer, or APM
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Ability to manage multiple responsibilities and deadlines
  • Familiarity with construction software such as Procore or Bluebeam is a plus
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or related field preferred, but not required if experience is strong
What’s Offered
  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Full benefits including medical insurance, 401(k), and growth-based bonuses
  • Opportunity to grow into a full Project Manager role within a supportive environment
  • Exposure to complex and rewarding commercial work across multiple sectors
