The Role

\n

We are seeking an experienced Assistant Project Manager to support the delivery of planning and scheduling services on complex construction projects. This is a hands-on role focused on overseeing schedule development, updates, and coordination with project teams. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment. The Assistant Project Manager will work closely with senior staff, contributing to schedule integrity, progress reporting, and overall project success.

\n

\n

Our processes are among the most advanced in the industry, and AI is built into how we work every day. For the right person, this is a chance to learn scheduling and construction management while embedding AI workflows into their own work from day one. You'll work faster and smarter, get up to speed much quicker than in a traditional firm, and gain hands-on experience with tools most people in this field never get to use.
