MULTIFAMILY ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER

UrbanCore Construction•Richmond, VA

1d•$70,000 - $95,000

About The Position

Every construction project runs on hundreds of small commitments... a material verified, a submittal approved, a question answered before it becomes a delay. Most companies leave those to chance and call the resulting scramble "just how construction works." We built a system instead. Through these systems, the Assistant PM holds the field and the office together. When done well, the Superintendent has what they need before they ask, the Project Manager is never blindsided, and trade partners get answers instead of excuses. The project simply flows. At UrbanCore, we believe planning and discipline create freedom. We're looking for an Assistant Project Manager who wants to own that layer completely. UrbanCore is a highly collaborative environment built on respect for the work, the plan, and the people doing it. Most construction environments accept chaos as part of the job. We don't. We set clear expectations, plan work intentionally, and drive accountability without blame. When we plan and execute well, our teams: Do better work. Create flexibility through discipline. Protect their time and energy, controlling their day and enjoying time off. Deliver consistent results. The Assistant Project Manager is the communication bridge between field and office making sure information, decisions, communication and documentation move accurately and efficiently.
