Responsibilities include contract administration, monitoring project progress, following up with completion or delay of project phases, scheduling meetings, maintaining project documents and reports, and a variety of other assignments.

The right candidate has the ability to maintain oversight on a variety of project activities both on and off-site, identify issues and come up with solutions, and see to it that they are resolved promptly. We are looking for top-notch construction minds to help us grow our 95+ year-old family-owned company.

This role is for the hands on, eager to learn, fast-paced business minded assistant project manager who wants to find ways to be the best in everything that we do. If you are stuck in a big bureaucratic construction company where you can’t have the impact you want, this is the perfect role for you.
