The posting

We are seeking an experienced Assistant Project Manager with hands-on commercial general contracting experience to support construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of key project activities, coordinate field and office operations, and develop the skills needed to advance into a full Project Manager position.

The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of commercial construction processes, project documentation, subcontractor coordination, scheduling, and cost controls.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support commercial construction projects, including renovations and tenant improvements, from initial planning and procurement through completion.
  • Coordinate daily project activities with subcontractors, vendors, architects, engineers, superintendents, and clients.
  • Prepare, distribute, and track RFIs, submittals, change orders, purchase orders, meeting minutes, and project correspondence.
  • Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and contracts to identify discrepancies, missing information, and coordination issues.
  • Assist in developing and maintaining project schedules, tracking milestones, and addressing potential delays.
  • Monitor budgets, committed costs, invoices, purchasing activities, and change orders to support effective financial control.
  • Coordinate material orders, delivery schedules, subcontractor sequencing, and jobsite logistics.
  • Attend project meetings, document decisions, assign follow-up actions, and track outstanding issues through resolution.
  • Conduct jobsite visits to monitor progress, document field conditions, and coordinate solutions with superintendents and project teams.
  • Support inspections, punch-list completion, warranty items, client turnover, and final project closeout.
  • Identify potential schedule delays, cost overruns, procurement challenges, and scope changes before they affect project delivery.
  • Assist with subcontractor coordination, project reporting, and communication between field and office teams.
  • Gradually assume greater responsibility for scheduling, cost management, subcontractor coordination, and overall project execution.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in commercial construction, project engineering, project coordination, or project management.
  • Required: Previous employment with a commercial general contractor.
  • Experience with commercial building projects, renovations, or tenant improvements.
  • Working knowledge of construction documents, specifications, RFIs, submittals, contracts, schedules, and change orders.
  • Understanding of construction sequencing, procurement, subcontractor management, and project controls.
  • Ability to coordinate effectively with field teams, design professionals, trade partners, vendors, and clients.
  • Experience monitoring project costs, purchasing commitments, schedules, and change-order activity.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction or project management software.
  • Strong communication, organizational, time-management, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven construction environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred; relevant practical experience may substitute.

Important Qualification: Commercial construction experience is essential. Candidates whose experience is limited to residential construction will not qualify.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
  • Health insurance.
  • Retirement plan options.
  • Paid time off.
  • Company-sponsored benefits and programs.
  • Professional development and ongoing training.
  • Opportunities to take ownership of increasingly complex project responsibilities.
  • Clear career progression toward a Project Manager position.
  • Long-term professional growth within an established commercial construction environment.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
