About The Position

A leading commercial construction firm is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join their Atlanta -area team. This role manages a defined portion of project scope across commercial and institutional construction projects throughout the Southeastern U.S. The APM runs their section of the job autonomously. This includes full ownership of the submittal process from intake through procurement, direct subcontractor administration (payments, insurance, bond, safety, haz -com compliance), document management and project controls, coordination meeting leadership (MEP, skin, site utility and phasing), cost projection accuracy for assigned scope, punch list execution, and complete project closeout for their area of responsibility. This role supports the Project Manager but operates with independent judgment in daily problem resolution, materials expediting, and field coordination. It is not a shadow role. The right candidate owns their piece. The client is a regional commercial general contractor with multiple offices across the Southeast. The Georgia operation runs roughly 250 active job sites at any given time. The self -perform model means the company owns its craft workforce and its progression paths. The VP of Field Operations who oversees this hire started as a carpenter on a wall crew in 2008 and has been with the company for 19 years. That is the trajectory available to people who want it. The full company profile, benefits package, and culture are reviewed with you during the screening conversation. You will know exactly who you are interviewing with before any interview is scheduled.
