Assistant Project Manager

Role overview

An established construction general contractor is looking for an Assistant Project Manager to support large-scale ground-up multifamily work valued between $80M and $200M. The position is aimed at professionals who are ready to grow into a Project Manager role, with a clear development path over the next 12 to 24 months. The projects are located inside the beltway in Virginia and Washington, DC, and the company plans to bring someone on board in July.

Why this opportunity stands out

• This is not a long-term support role; it is designed as a structured path toward Project Manager responsibility.
• You will work on complex, high-rise multifamily developments that add meaningful experience to your background.
• You will be involved from preconstruction through delivery rather than only handling execution.
• The business has a strong pipeline of work, offering stability, continuity, and room for career growth.

What the role involves

You will work closely with experienced project managers and field leaders while taking on real ownership of important project tasks. The role includes coordination of subcontractors and buyout activities, budget tracking, cost control, forecasting, RFIs, submittals, change management, client meetings, team meetings, and support for field operations on active, large job sites.

Who this role is suited for

This opportunity is a strong fit for Assistant Project Managers or Junior Project Managers with at least 5 years of commercial construction experience. Preference is for candidates who have worked on multifamily projects, though experience on other large ground-up builds is also relevant. It is intended for someone who wants to move into a Project Manager position sooner rather than later and is comfortable taking on greater responsibility in a fast-moving, high-performance environment.

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary of $95,000 to $115,000 plus bonus
• Sign-on bonus
• 100% employer-covered healthcare, including family coverage
• 401(k) match and comprehensive benefits package
• 3 weeks of paid time off plus 10 holidays
• Tuition assistance and ongoing professional development
• Defined progression to Project Manager within 1 to 2 years
