Assistant Project Manager

Hanto + Clarke is a commercial construction general contractor based in Pensacola, Florida, founded on a simple promise: BUILT ON TRUST. PROVEN BY PERFORMANCE. We deliver quality projects through disciplined people, strong systems, and a culture that is Humble, Hungry, People-Wise, and Fun. We invest in our people and promote from within — and this role is built so you can grow. Why this role exists: The Assistant Project Manager keeps our projects organized, documented, and moving. Reporting to the Area Manager and working alongside the Superintendent, the APM owns the administrative and coordination backbone of the project — submittals, procurement, RFIs, document control, and cost tracking — so the project team can focus on building. This is a development role: the APM is learning the craft of project leadership and growing toward running projects independently. Key Accountabilities: Safety Support - Keep project safety documentation, communication, and compliance organized and current so nothing falls through the cracks. Maintain site safety records, track training and certifications, and help the team stay audit-ready. Submittals, Procurement, and Schedule Support - Manage submittals and procurement from log to approval, and flag anything that could impact the schedule before it becomes a problem. Track long-lead items and keep procurement moving ahead of the work. Project Administration - Support contracts, RFIs, meeting minutes, document control, and project correspondence. Keep records accurate and accessible so the Superintendent can focus on building. Budget Support - Assist with buyout, change tracking, commitment tracking, and cost visibility. Help maintain a clear, current picture of project costs so decisions are made on good numbers. Stakeholder Coordination - Support owner and design-team communication and keep subcontractors informed and supported. Make sure the right people have the right information at the right time. Development and Leadership - Grow in judgment, ownership, and project leadership while supporting the Area Manager and Superintendent. Take on more responsibility as skills develop, with the goal of leading projects independently over time.
