Assistant Project Manager (Commercial Installation)
About The Position
We need an early-career Assistant Project Manager who wants to help keep our installation jobs running smoothly, on schedule, and profitable. Whether you’re graduating with a Construction Management degree, currently working as a field lead looking to step out of daily tool-belt labor, or doing junior project coordination, this is a real seat at the table. The role involves managing commercial jobs from start to finish, acting as the operational bridge between the office, field team, and client. This includes pre-project planning (site walks, reviewing drawings, coordinating start dates), project execution (keeping jobs on schedule, solving site issues, documenting change orders), and project completion (clearing punch lists, obtaining client sign-off, and preparing files for accounting). The company emphasizes a fast-paced, growing environment with a lack of corporate bureaucracy, offering a clear career track for motivated individuals. However, the role also involves dealing with the inherent chaos of job sites, managing client expectations during price discussions for changes, and proactively seeking information from busy individuals.
