Assistant Project Manager

Our client is a respected, mid-sized general contractor in the DC Metro area, known for quality work, long-term client relationships, and a genuine investment in developing its people. Employee turnover is low, and many team members have been with the company for a decade or more, which reflects how the company is run and how it treats its people.

The company is particularly known within the industry for its mentorship culture and transparent advancement, employees know what's expected of them to grow, and promotions are based on clear, consistent criteria rather than guesswork. This is perfect opportunity for an Assistant Project Manager who wants mentorship and a clear path toward a Project Manager role. You'll work directly with industry leading Project Managers and Project Executives, who came up through the APM role themselves, supporting and building world-class projects.

You'll support Project Managers on commercial projects spanning office, multifamily, healthcare, higher ed, and federal generally in the $15M-$150M range, giving you exposure to a variety of project types rather than repeating the same building type.
