Project Assistant

The projects we deliver in 2027 will depend on the people we develop now.
As our Phoenix operation grows, we are hiring a Project Assistant to work closely with our Senior Project Manager and learn how projects move from an initial plan to a completed result. You will have hands-on responsibility from the beginning: keeping schedules current, tracking actions, preparing updates, and helping people across the business work toward the same deadlines.

This is a full-time, on-site opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in project management. Over your first three months, you will be cross-trained in planning, project administration, communication, delivery tracking, and team coordination. Our goal is to develop someone who can be considered for Project Coordinator responsibilities from January 2027, based on their progress and the needs of the business. The starting salary is $50,000 per year.

Work alongside the project team

With guidance from the Senior Project Manager, you will:

• Build and update project schedules, task lists, and milestone trackers.
• Arrange meetings, prepare agendas, capture decisions, and follow up on agreed actions.
• Check progress with colleagues in different departments and flag delays early.
• Keep project files, briefs, contact information, and working documents organized.
• Prepare clear status updates showing completed work, upcoming deadlines, and items needing a decision.
• Help track deliverables, resources, and changes to the project plan.
• Communicate professionally with internal teams and, when appropriate, clients and other project contacts.
• Take ownership of smaller tasks and workstreams as your knowledge develops.

A development path you can see

First month: Learn our project processes by working alongside the Senior Project Manager. You will get to know the teams involved and take responsibility for accurate schedules, meeting notes, and action logs.

Months two and three: Broaden your exposure to project planning and delivery. You will begin coordinating agreed pieces of work, preparing progress information, and learning how to identify risks and keep people informed when priorities change.

From 2027: The objective is to prepare you for a Project Coordinator role. At that stage, you may help guide a small team under the Senior Project Manager’s supervision, coordinate work across departments, and take greater ownership of timelines and outcomes. Longer term, progression toward Project Manager would depend on your ability to deliver projects effectively, support a team, and manage communication and priorities with confidence.

The person we would like to meet

You are organized, curious, and comfortable asking questions. You communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and enjoy bringing people together to get work done. You can adapt when a plan changes and want feedback that helps you improve. A degree or previous project management title is not required; we are looking for the ability and commitment to grow into the work.
