About The Position

Because the Assistant Project Manager (APM) role involves travel to project sites, relocation is not required. APMs may live anywhere within the continental United States, provided they are within a reasonable distance of a major airport. Positions are posted in cities near current or anticipated project locations; however, placement is based on project needs and is not limited to the advertised location. Assistant Project Managers are responsible for working directly with our subcontractors and clients to successfully execute the complete building process. Once the PM team becomes familiar with the design, they plan and sequence the work and buy-out materials and subcontractor services. They ensure the work is completed in sync with all other activities and make certain the work meets Tippmann Construction quality and safety standards. Throughout the construction process, the PM team uses Tippmann developed processes and tools to maintain clear and constant communication with subcontractors, internal team members, and client personnel. APMs contribute largely and are accountable for the overall delivery of a high-quality experience for our customers.
