Assistant Project Manager

RK Industries

RK Industries is a second-generation, family-owned business led by brothers Rick and Jon Kinning. Seven specialized business units - construction, manufacturing, custom fabrication, and building services - work in close coordination to deliver hands-on work from concept through closeout. About the Role Build the career. Build the mission-critical projects powering the Southwest. RK is staffing up in Phoenix for a multi-year project, and we're hiring two Assistant Project Managers (APMs) to run alongside our senior PMs and field leadership from mobilization through closeout. This is a 2-year field-based assignment in Phoenix (El Mirage to be exact) - you'll be on the jobsite, in the trailer, and in the work every day. If you want mission-critical mechanical construction experience on your resume, a clear runway from APM to PM inside a second-generation, family-owned business that self-performs the work, this is that seat. Responsibilities Project Execution & Operations Support day-to-day operations alongside the PM and field leadership on the data center build. Manage the submittal process for the mechanical scope, including review, approval, and log maintenance. Coordinate procurement and buyout with purchasing to meet or beat aggressive schedule and budget targets. Establish, monitor, and update project schedules against mission-critical milestones. Lead pre-construction turnover meetings for assigned scopes of work. Financials & Controls Support budget development, cost control, and financial forecasting. Price, negotiate, and process change conditions and change orders. Maintain the schedule of values, optimize cash flow, and drive retention release. Collect progress billings and receivables on or before due dates. Review and approve subcontractor and supplier invoices to submit monthly contract valuations on time. Contracts & Compliance Assist with contract review, processing, and execution to protect RK and client interests. Support subcontract negotiation, preparation, and execution. Ensure all necessary permits and licenses are secured and posted. Field & Resource Coordination Track labor resource loading, productivity, and field staffing. Serve as the bridge between the trailer and the field to align foremen, superintendents, and subcontractors. Manage tool and rental equipment utilization, ensuring unused items are promptly returned. Qualifications Experience: 1-4 years of mechanical or MEP construction experience as a Project Engineer, APM, or in an equivalent field-to-office role. Location: Willingness to be on-site full-time in Phoenix (El Mirage specifically) for the 2-year assignment. This is not a hybrid or remote role. Technical Skills: Proficiency in managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, buyout, and pay applications for personally owned scopes. Software: Proficiency with Procore, Bluebeam, and MS Project, or the ability to learn them quickly. Communication: Strong construction vernacular to communicate credibly with field staff, subcontractors, and owners. Detail-Oriented: Sharp attention to detail, robust follow-through, and the judgment to advance multiple priorities simultaneously. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Preferred: Experience with data centers, mission-critical projects, or large-scale industrial mechanical systems is a strong plus. Why this project, why RK Mission-critical resume line - data center work is where the mechanical industry is going; get in early Self-perform mechanical work - you'll see the trade up close, not from behind a laptop Safety first, always - Health, Safety, & Environmental Recognized industry leader - Accreditations & Recognition RK University and Apprenticeship - real career development, not a slide deck - RK University | Apprenticeship Community investment - RK Foundation Equal Opportunity Statement RK Industries, LLC is an equal opportunity employer.
