R. R. CASSIDY, INC.

Assistant Project Manager II

The Assistant Project Manager (APM) supports the successful execution of assigned federal construction projects within QGS's Acquire–Comply–Execute lifecycle. Working under the direction of a Project Manager and Program Manager, the APM assists with day-to-day coordination of safety, quality, cost, schedule, and compliance activities. This role partners closely with enterprise functional teams—Safety/Quality, Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Cyber/IT, and Compliance—to ensure project controls, documentation, and reporting are accurate, timely, and audit-ready while developing toward future Project Manager responsibilities.

  • Support stage-gate reviews by compiling required artifacts and maintaining auditable project records.
  • Assist with coordination and communication between internal teams, subcontractors, vendors, and partners.
  • Support preparation of client-facing materials and meeting agendas under Project Manager guidance.
  • Track subcontractor deliverables, RFIs, and submittals to ensure timely responses and approvals.
  • Support monthly forecasting, cost tracking, trend logs, and variance analysis.
  • Help ensure cost documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant with DCAA audit requirements.
  • Identify potential schedule risks or variances and escalate to the Project Manager for mitigation planning.
  • Support compliance with FAR/DFARS, DCAA, CUI protection, and ISO 9001 quality requirements.
  • Assist with maintaining site-specific plans including APP/JHAs, Environmental Plans, and QCPs.
  • Help maintain project risk and opportunity logs, track action items, and support closeout activities.
  • Assist in preparing weekly progress reports, three-week look-ahead schedules, risk logs, and cost/schedule metrics (CPI, SPI).
  • Ensure all project documentation, correspondence, and reports are uploaded and maintained in the QGS OPS Platform (GCC High) with proper version control.
  • Actively develop project management competencies with the goal of progressing into a Project Manager role.
  • Participate in training, certifications, and mentoring opportunities supported by QGS.

  • 3–5 years of experience supporting federal, DOE, DOD, Industrial or large-scale commercial construction projects.
