Assistant Project Manager – Commercial Construction

Assistant Project Manager – Commercial Construction

A nimble, tech- forward general contractor is scaling its nationwide footprint of ground- up and retrofit projects – ranging from quick service‐center refreshes to multimillion- dollar distribution hubs. To keep pace, the team needs a hands- on Project Execution Associate who can steer budgets, schedules, and stakeholder communication from pre- con through closeout. If you thrive in fast- moving, less- structured environments where your ideas reach executive ears the same day, this role is for you.

This Role Offers:

Company- paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus generous PTO.

Direct access to the founder and a ten- person leadership team – your impact is visible, not buried in red tape.

Exposure to a diverse project mix (retail, logistics, healthcare, industrial) and a modern Microsoft- based tech stack.

Culture of accountability, autonomy, and continuous improvement – perfect for people who “own” their work.

Focus:

Scope & Budget Launch – Partner with senior PMs to set preliminary budgets, schedules, and procurement paths for projects ranging from rapid renovations to $8 M ground- ups.

Daily Coordination – Liaise with superintendents, subcontractors, and client contacts to keep materials, permits, and information flowing ahead of the critical path.

Cost & Document Control – Maintain cloud- based trackers for commitments, RFIs, change orders, and site photos- ensuring executives and clients always have accurate, real- time data.

Bid Leveling & Awards – Compile and compare subcontractor proposals, highlight scope gaps, and draft clear award recommendations.

Meeting Cadence – Drive kickoff, progress, and closeout sessions, capture action items, and close loops quickly.

Process Innovation – Jump into special projects like building SOPs, cost databases, or template libraries that help the whole company work smarter.

Skill Set:

3+ years in commercial construction with a GC or design- build firm, including estimating, coordination, or APM duties.

Proven comfort working from limited drawings/permits- resourceful, not reliant on perfection.

Strong communicator who treats vendors like customers and follows through without prompting.

Proficient with Excel and modern construction- management / estimating platforms.

Grit, professionalism, and solid tenure- candidates seeking long- term growth in an in- office role will excel
