Commercial Specialties Assistant Project Manager - Kennesaw, GA

United Contractor Services • Kennesaw, GA

7d • Onsite

About The Position

This is the supply side of commercial interiors. As an Assistant Project Manager on our Division 10 Specialties team, you'll take projects from the estimate through procurement, delivery, and closeout - pricing the work, placing the orders, tracking lead times, and keeping general contractors and installers informed along the way. The goal is straightforward: the right products, on the job when the schedule calls for them, matching what the specs require. It's a full-time, in-office position, and it's structured as a path into a Project Manager seat.

Requirements

• Ability to read construction drawings, blueprints, and specifications
• A working understanding of construction processes, building systems, and project documentation
• Solid Microsoft Office skills
• Clear communication and a habit of following through
• Real interest in specialty products and the construction management side of the business

Nice To Haves

• Zero to two years in construction, estimating, or project coordination
• Internships count
• Prior work in customer service, sales, or any B2B setting
• ERP or order entry experience

Responsibilities

• Estimating and bidding: Working under a Project Manager, you'll prepare takeoffs, budgets, quotations, and bid proposals. That starts with reviewing plans and specs to pin down what a project actually calls for, then identifying product solutions that hit the spec at a competitive number. Bids and budgets go out on deadline.
• Project execution: Once a job is awarded, it's yours to run through closeout. You'll coordinate procurement, approvals, lead times, deliveries, and schedules against the project's milestones and completion dates, and keep records and customer information accurate as things move.
• Documentation: Quotations, purchase orders, submittments, shop drawings, RFIs, change orders, and freight claims - all of it has to stay current and compliant with the contract documents and customer requirements.
• Communication: You'll be the point of contact for general contractors, architects, subcontractors, vendors, installers, and customers. When a product, order, or schedule issue comes up, you handle it directly and early, with a consultative approach rather than an order-taking one.
