THE ROLE

Assistant Project Managers support the execution of commercial building envelope and façade installations from award through closeout, under the direction of a Project Manager.

• Keeping project records, schedules, and documentation clean, accurate, and up to date as projects move through production
• Assisting with coordination between in-house field crews, vendors, and project leadership
• Tracking labor hours, material usage, and installation progress

You’ll be expected to:

• Keep assigned systems current and organized
• Communicate clearly and early when issues arise
• Support predictable execution rather than reacting to urgency
• Training, responsibility, and scope increase as consistency and reliability are demonstrated.
