Assistant Project Manager / Site Coordinator

About Fortress Home Improvement

Fortress Home Improvement is a Massachusetts general contractor doing residential remodels, site work, and light commercial projects across Worcester County and beyond. We are growing fast and need a sharp, organized assistant project manager to keep our jobs moving. The owner walks you through each project's scope, and you take it from there: schedules, subs, materials, and the people on site.

What you'll do

• Run one or two larger projects, or manage several smaller single-subcontractor jobs at the same time
• Coordinate subcontractor schedules and keep every trade on track
• Order materials and schedule deliveries so crews are never waiting
• Take a project overview from the owner and turn it into a clear plan and sequence
• Visit jobsites regularly to check progress, quality, and safety
• Track permits, inspections, and job paperwork, with part-time admin support behind you
• Keep the owner and office updated on progress, delays, and issues

What we're looking for

• 1-5 years in construction, whether as an assistant PM, project coordinator, project engineer, or a field lead who has run schedules and ordered materials
• Broad construction knowledge across trades: you don't need to be a specialist, but you won't be lost when we talk about trenching, water lines, sprinklers, alarm systems, foundations, HVAC, electrical, framing, or plumbing
• Good judgment and a good head on your shoulders: you pick up a project quickly, ask the right questions, and make sound calls when a sub doesn't show or a plan changes
• Organized, dependable, and a clear communicator with subs, vendors, and the office
• Comfortable with scheduling and project software (we use ClickUp and JobTread)
• Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle for travel between jobsites

What we offer

• $30-$36/hour, based on experience
• Full-time, year-round work with a steady project pipeline
• Assistant PM title and a 6-month review
• 401(k) plan, flexible schedule, professional development assistance, and a referral program
• Room to grow as we add projects and build out the team
• Work directly with the owner and help build the team
