Construction Assistant Project Manager

A bit about us:

Our client is a nationally recognized real estate development and construction company specializing in the development, construction, and operation of high-quality multifamily communities across major U.S. markets.

With more than three decades of experience in the rental housing industry, the company has been involved in the development of hundreds of thousands of rental homes and has built tens of thousands of apartment homes nationwide. Their portfolio includes ground-up multifamily communities, mixed-use developments, historic redevelopment, and build-to-rent communities.

The company's Boston construction team is actively involved in both preconstruction and construction, bringing significant local expertise and a strong network of contractors, vendors, and suppliers to its projects.

You'll be part of a company that handles development and construction under the same organization, giving you exposure to decisions that happen well before a project ever reaches the jobsite.

The company also emphasizes professional development, continuous improvement, collaboration, and a people-first culture, with benefits that include tuition reimbursement, a 401(k), paid parental leave, and comprehensive medical benefits.
