Are you ready to take the next step in your construction management career? We're seeking a motivated Assistant Project Manager to join our growing team, with a focus on commercial interior fit-outs and renovations across New York City.

This is a great opportunity for a rising professional to gain hands-on exposure to all phases of project execution - from design coordination to budgeting, scheduling, and closeout - while supporting a seasoned PM team on high-end office and tenant improvement work.

What You'll Do

• Support the Project Manager across all phases of construction: design review, procurement, contract management, construction execution, and project closeout.
• Coordinate directly with architects, engineers, and subcontractors to resolve issues and ensure project alignment with design intent and code compliance.
• Help manage project schedules, budgets, bank requisitions, and vendor invoices.
• Maintain accurate and organized documentation across all construction phases.
• Ensure permits, inspections, and approvals are secured in a timely manner.
• Participate in punch list walks and oversee closeout efforts to deliver a fully functional and polished space to the client.

What We're Looking For

• 2-3 years of experience supporting interior renovation or fit-out projects (corporate, retail, institutional, or healthcare).
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Civil Engineering, or related field (Master's degree a plus).
• Familiarity with NYC/NJ project experience is a must - you should know how to navigate DOB requirements, site logistics, and urban coordination challenges.
• Working knowledge of estimating, budgeting, construction sequencing, and safety practices.
• Strong written/verbal communication skills, time management, and problem-solving abilities.
• Team player with a proactive, organized mindset and the drive to grow into a leadership role.
• Competitive base salary ($80K-$110K)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO and paid holidays
• Career growth in a fast-paced and collaborative environment
