The Assist Project Manager is part of the company's "management representative" and is responsible for the safe completion of their projects within budget, on schedule, to the company's quality standards, and to the customer's satisfaction. When the project dictates it is their responsibility to assist the Project Manager or Senior Project Manager in portions of the management scope. It is their responsibility to initiate required action to achieve these objectives and to ensure all project activities are consistent with contract documents and the company’s policies.

The Project Manager’s duties will vary as required to support the project team. The Project Manager and Superintendent or Project Superintendent will work as a complementary team where the sum of their efforts is greater than their individual efforts. The Project Manager’s first responsibility is to support the effectiveness of the Superintendent or Project Superintendent and the project staff. Generally, the Project Manager will concentrate on long-term planning, scheduling, and the identification and resolution of possible "roadblocks" and "pitfalls" which could have an impact on the project.

The Project Manager is also responsible for ensuring that all logistical support is completed in a timely manner so that the Superintendent or Project Superintendent can concentrate on the daily and weekly direction of the company's resources and coordination of subcontractors.
