We're looking for an Assistant Project Manager who wants meaningful involvement in commercial construction projects and a chance to keep building their career.

In this role, you'll:
- Help drive projects from preconstruction through closeout
- Coordinate with clients, design teams, subcontractors, and field staff
- Keep schedules, budgets, RFIs, submittals, and change orders moving
- Join project meetings and help turn decisions into clear next steps
- Visit jobsites, follow progress, and work with the team to resolve issues
- Build the skills and experience to take on increasing project responsibility
- You'll bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Construction, Engineering or Architecture 2-5 years of commercial construction experience

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
