Assistant Project Manager - Commercial Construction

Assistant Project Manager - Commercial Construction

A leading Texas commercial general contractor is seeking a motivated Assistant Project Manager to join its growing Dallas area team. This role is ideal for an ambitious construction professional ready to take the next step in their career - working alongside experienced project leaders and gaining hands-on experience managing ground-up and renovation projects from start to finish.

Position Overview

The Assistant Project Manager (APM) will support the Project Manager in all aspects of project delivery, including planning, scheduling, budgeting, and subcontractor coordination. This position offers exposure to every stage of construction and provides a clear path toward full Project Management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

* Assist in project setup, budgeting, scheduling, and document control
* Coordinate with architects, engineers, clients, and subcontractors throughout the project lifecycle
* Review drawings, specifications, and submittals for accuracy and completeness
* Support procurement, contract administration, and change management
* Track RFIs, submittals, and project correspondence through Procore or similar platforms
* Attend site meetings, monitor progress, and assist in problem-solving with field teams
* Help ensure safety, quality, and schedule goals are consistently met

Qualifications

* 2-5+ years of experience in commercial construction; prior APM or Project Engineer experience preferred
* Experience supporting ground-up or large-scale renovation projects with a general contractor
* Strong understanding of construction documents, processes, and terminology
* Excellent communication, organization, and multitasking skills
* Proficiency with construction management software (Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, or similar)
* Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

* Join a respected builder with a steady backlog and a track record of successful projects
* Work directly with experienced Project Managers and Superintendents who value mentorship and professional growth
* Competitive salary, bonus opportunities, vehicle allowance, and comprehensive benefits
* A supportive company culture built around integrity, teamwork, and long-term success

If you're detail-oriented, eager to learn, and ready to take ownership of your career, this is an excellent opportunity to grow within a reputable commercial contractor and make a lasting impact on every project you touch.
