About Us Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction. Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered. We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Build it with us. Summary The Assistant Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing modular construction projects from concept through installation. This includes managing budgets, schedules, subcontractors, internal cross-functional teams, and client relationships. Unlike traditional construction PM roles, this position requires working within an evolving product ecosystem, contributing to process development, and supporting continuous improvement efforts across design, manufacturing and field operations.

RESPONSIBILTIES

Project Planning & Execution Support the project lifecycle from preconstruction and design coordination through factory production, site preparation, installation, and project closeout. Help the PMs develop and manage project budgets, schedules, logistics plans, and resource allocations. Work in conjunction with PMs to oversee procurement, contracts, subcontracts, and change management workflows. Help to coordinate between manufacturing teams, design/engineering, robotics teams, and field installation crews to ensure alignment. Cross-Functional Collaboration in a Tech Environment Work closely with product, engineering, and operations to integrate project requirements into modular building systems. Provide feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM) and installation processes. Participate in iterative process development, helping refine workflows, introduce new tools, and identify efficiency opportunities. Collaborate in a start-up environment where processes evolve quickly, requiring flexibility and a continuous-improvement mindset. Risk Management & Quality Control Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies across design, production, logistics, and installation stages. Support factory and field QA/QC processes, ensuring modular assemblies meet Reframe standards. Ensure all work complies with local codes, safety regulations, and company quality standards. Startup & Innovation Expectations Thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities. Contribute to developing new internal processes, playbooks, documentation, and best practices. Be willing to roll up your sleeves, jumping into detailed coordination, problem-solving on the floor, and supporting hands-on tasks when needed. Qualifications Required 3-5 years of experience as a Project Manager in construction, modular construction, design-build, real estate development, or a related field. Proven experience managing subcontractors, consultants, and cross-disciplinary teams. Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, MEP, and shop drawings. Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills. Comfortable using or wanting to learn project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid, MS Project, BIM tools, or similar). Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and pivot quickly based on evolving conditions. Preferred Experience in modular construction, prefabrication, manufacturing, robotics, or tech-enabled construction environments. Background with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Lean manufacturing principles, or industrialized construction. Familiarity with VDC/BIM coordination workflows. Startup experience or a clear track record of operating in fast-changing environments. Knowledge of permitting and inspection processes for modular or factory-built housing. Solutions-oriented problem-solver who thrives on tackling challenges. Flexible and adaptive, comfortable working through ambiguity and change.
