They happen because someone is constantly looking ahead, asking the right questions, following through on commitments, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager who wants to become a Project Manager—not someone looking for a clerical or administrative position. This position works directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, Field Leads, and Leadership to support active commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. You will help manage and drive schedules, coordinate subcontractors and vendors, track procurement, review documentation, identify risks, support field operations, and keep projects moving forward.

and deadline Ask direct and specific questions when information is incomplete or inconsistent Track open items through completion without repeated remindersEscalate risks at the appropriate time after gathering the relevant facts WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT This is not a clerical or general administrative position This is not simply entering information into Smartsheet This is not taking meeting notes without owning the follow-up This is not forwarding every question to the Project Manager or Leadership This is not accepting reports or photographs without reviewing what they actually prove This is not a passive support role where someone else identifies and solves every problem WHAT YOU BRING Three or more years of commercial construction experience Experience supporting Project Managers, Superintendents, Field Leads, or construction operations teams Ability to read construction plans, specifications, and project documentation Understanding of commercial construction sequencing and project workflow Experience with schedules, look-aheads, procurement, RFIs, submittals, or project controls Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through Ability to manage priorities

look-aheads are current, realistic, and actively used to plan the work Subcontractor and vendor commitments are confirmed before they affect production Open items have clear owners, deadlines, impacts, and follow-up plans Potential delays are identified before they affect field crews, inspections, clients, or later trades Project documentation is accurate, current, and consistent Project Managers and Leadership receive concise, decision-ready updates Field and office teams are working from the same current information Problems are identified early and followed through to resolution Project Managers and Superintendents can rely on you Projects move forward because you are helping drive them HARD REQUIREMENT If your experience is limited to entering updates provided by others or completing administrative tasks without understanding the construction behind them, this is not the right role. We are looking for someone who can gather information, verify facts, understand sequencing, identify risks, ask strong questions, coordinate multiple parties, and take ownership of follow-through.
