Assistant Project Manager Construction

Position: Assistant Project Manager (Entry to Junior Level) | Commercial Construction

Location: Midtown - Atlanta, GA (Metro Area)

Compensation: Competitive Starting Salary + Performance Bonus + Full Benefits Package

Ready to launch or level up your construction career without getting lost in the crowd?

A lot of entry-level construction roles stick you in a back corner doing data entry, with no real training and no clear path forward. We do things differently.

We are a growing, respected commercial general contractor in Atlanta. We build high-profile projects across the city-including modern offices, healthcare facilities, and industrial spaces. We are looking for an energetic, detail-oriented Assistant Project Manager who wants real mentorship, hands-on experience, and a fast track to running their own jobs as a Project Manager.

️ What You'll Do (With Our Guidance)

• Keep Projects Organized: Track project drawings, submittals, and contractor questions (RFIs) so field teams have what they need to build.
• Learn the Financials: Assist senior project managers with subcontractor bidding, material orders, and basic cost tracking.
• Connect Office & Field: Spend time on active job sites working with our superintendents and trade partners to solve everyday project challenges.
• Coordinate with Partners: Help communicate updates to architects, engineers, and specialty contractors.
• Build Your Skills: Gain the direct, practical experience needed to step into a lead Project Manager role.

What You Bring

• Experience Level: 0-2 years of experience in construction (commercial internships, co-ops, field engineering, or related work all count!).
• Education: A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Building Construction, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• Core Skills: Ability to read basic architectural and structural plans, strong attention to detail, and comfort using software like Procore, Bluebeam, or Excel (we will train on specific tools).
• Mindset: Curiosity, a strong work ethic, and a genuine eagerness to learn the commercial construction business from the ground up.
• Local Focus: Based in or relocating to the Atlanta metro area.

Why Start Here?

• Dedicated Mentorship: You won't be left to sink or swim. You'll work alongside experienced PMs and leadership who actively teach you the business.
• A Clear Future: We promote from within. Our goal is to train you into a full Project Manager running multi-million-dollar jobs.
• Local Projects: All work is in the greater Atlanta area-no extensive travel, so you're home every night.
• Open Culture: Direct access to company leadership in a collaborative, supportive team environment.
