Assistant Project Manager – Chicago, IL

$80,000 – $85,000 + Free Benefits, PTO, Bonus and More

We are a market-leading general contractor with deep roots in the Chicago construction market and a proven track record of delivering complex commercial and multifamily projects. What started as a hands-on, family-owned operation has grown into a highly respected construction partner known for doing things the right way—building lasting structures, long-term client relationships, and careers that grow over time.

Our success comes from truly understanding every phase of the build. We self-manage projects from pre-construction through closeout, working side by side with owners, architects, engineers, and trusted trade partners. This approach allows us to stay nimble, solve problems quickly, and consistently deliver projects that meet high standards for safety, quality, and schedule.

With a strong pipeline of upcoming work and continued year-over-year growth, we offer the stability of an established firm combined with the opportunity to make a real impact. Team members are given exposure, responsibility, and mentorship—making this an ideal environment for someone looking to grow their career within a financially strong, people-first organization.
