We're seeking a hands-on, driven Assistant Project Manager to support the execution of midrise multifamily and senior living projects from the ground up-including sitework. This is a high-impact role for someone who's seeking a long-term seat at the table with a stable, respected regional builder.

Client Details

Our client is a privately held, well-established construction firm with nearly 50 years of success across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Known for delivering quality, design-forward multifamily, senior living, and mixed-use developments, the company maintains a reputation for treating its employees like family, taking pride in strong client relationships, and building with integrity from the ground up.

Description

  • Project Management: Assist in the management of all phases of ground-up construction projects, including pre-construction, sitework, vertical build, and closeout

  • Safety Compliance: Work closely with Project Managers and Superintendents to ensure milestones, budgets, and safety standards are met

  • Schedule Management: Coordinate subcontractors, materials, equipment, and schedules

  • Documentation: Review drawings, RFIs, submittals, and change orders with a proactive mindset

  • Quality Control: Participate in on-site walks, inspections, and quality assurance checks regularly

Profile

  • You've had real, hands-on experience with full-cycle ground-up construction projects-preferably including sitework

  • You've worked on midrise multifamily or senior living developments and understand the specific challenges and details of these builds

  • You're not just chasing a bigger paycheck-you're seeking a home, a team, and an opportunity to build something long-term

  • You thrive in fast-paced environments, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your work

  • 2-5 years of construction experience is ideal; a degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field is a plus

Job Offer

  • Competitive base salary: up to $130K (depending on experience)

  • Solid benefits package including healthcare, 401(k), PTO, and mileage reimbursement

  • A chance to learn directly from leadership and grow into a Project Manager or Senior PM role
