Assistant Project Manager
About The Position
James & Whitney Co. is seeking a driven and detail-oriented Assistant Project Manager (APM) to join our fast-growing team. This is a field-based, on-site position—not an office job. As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll spend your days traveling between active job sites, working alongside Project Managers, subcontractors, and customers to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards. If you're looking for a desk job or a role primarily based in an office, this position is not the right fit. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn directly from experienced Project Managers while making a measurable impact on every project. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy problem-solving, and like being out in the field rather than behind a computer, we'd love to meet you.
Requirements
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
- Comfortable driving throughout the workday between multiple job sites.
- Ability to lift up to 90 pounds and perform physical work in outdoor environments.
- Comfortable working in varying weather conditions, including heat, cold, and light rain when appropriate.
- Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced construction environment.
- A positive attitude and a "whatever it takes" mindset.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the on-site point of contact for crews, customers, and deliveries.
- Travel between active job sites throughout the day to support project operations.
- Ensure materials are on-site and projects remain on schedule.
- Monitor installation quality and maintain clean, organized, and safe job sites.
- Oversee subcontracted crews to ensure work is completed safely, professionally, and according to project specifications.
- Keep the Project Manager informed with real-time updates on project progress, material needs, customer concerns, and change orders.
- Capture project documentation through photos, videos, and detailed notes.
- Verify each project is weather-tight, secure, and cleaned up at the end of each workday and upon completion.
- Assist with material deliveries, waste disposal, equipment coordination, and returns to keep projects running efficiently.
- Represent James & Whitney Co. professionally with customers, subcontractors, and suppliers.
Benefits
- Company vehicle provided
