Job Description

Position Title: Assistant Project Manager

A general contractor in Austin involves its project team two years before ground is broken. It prices each project, shows the client how to get there, and builds exactly what a small group of leading architects designs. There is no bidding against other contractors and no repetitive, cookie-cutter work. The current project is the renovation of a well-known West Austin club, and the client list includes high-profile owners and historic properties.

The Assistant Project Manager works directly with the owner on every project and touches nearly every part of the build. The work calls for a superintendent’s perspective. The company has operated since 2003, and the owner is detail-focused, so employees who adopt that standard tend to stay and advance. The role offers a path to learn the entire business of running a construction company. This is an onsite position at the project office at the current job site in Austin.

Salary Range: $90,000 – $110,000 / Year DOE

Plus a holiday bonus in most years, based on company performance

Assistant Project Manager Responsibilities

  • Direct and support subcontractors with the right materials and information so they trust the direction and deliver quality work
  • Act in a superintendent-style role on site, understanding how the pieces of each project fit together and anticipating what comes next
  • Read plans and handle layout details, including plumbing runs and wall locations
  • Verify layout in the field before work is covered, such as confirming plumbing placement before a slab pour
  • Prepare submittals ahead of schedule
  • Assist with payouts and job cost tracking
  • Manage one to two large projects at a time
  • Work with demanding, high-profile owners, solving problems creatively and guiding decisions rather than simply agreeing or declining
  • Contribute to custom, high-end commercial details, such as building a true masonry fireplace instead of installing a prefabricated unit

Assistant Project Manager Requirements

  • Approximately 3 to 4 years of commercial construction experience in a project coordinator, project engineer, or assistant project manager role
  • Strong plan-reading skills and experience with field layout
  • Sound problem-solving ability and the capacity to learn quickly
  • Careful attention to detail and genuine investment in the quality of the work
  • Willingness to learn the company’s distinctive approach to building
  • Confidence and initiative in directing subcontractors
  • Polish and presence suited to working directly with high-end clients
  • Commitment to a long-term career in construction and a preference for being out on the job site
  • On-site attendance at the project office each day, with a start time of 6:30 or 7:00 AM CT and occasional Saturdays when subcontractors are working

Benefits

  • Employer-paid monthly health insurance premium for the employee
  • Paid vacation and sick time
  • 401(k) retirement savings plan
  • Annual holiday bonus, based on company performance

Professionals with commercial construction experience who want to learn the full business alongside an owner and build distinctive, architect-driven projects should apply today.
