PK Construction Company is a successful General Contractor adjunct to PK Housing & Management that develops PK’s own development projects. Located out of Okemos, MI, PK Construction has been around for over 25 years specializing in apartment construction and rehabilitation of occupied affordable housing and multi-family development units. PK is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to support project teams through the steady growth and continued improvements of the properties that make up the communities in which they serve.

The Company is looking for an Assistant Project Manager with strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills to support the successful completion of primarily apartment complex rehabilitation projects. This is a multi-dimensional, fast-paced role that assists Project Managers with multiple projects simultaneously from planning through close-out. The Assistant Project Manager will help coordinate project documentation, subcontractors, vendors, schedules, budgets, submittals, and close-out requirements while developing the experience needed to manage projects independently.

The role requires consistent follow-through and clear communication with Project Managers, field staff, subcontractors, vendors, the PK management team, and accounting. The Assistant Project Manager is responsible for helping keep project information organized, accurate, and current while promptly identifying questions, conflicts, or items requiring Project Manager direction. This position is intended to provide a clear path for professional growth by progressively expanding the employee’s project responsibilities and preparing them to advance into a Project Manager role.

The position offers the unique opportunity to work with a family-owned, relationship-focused contractor while enjoying a great work/life balance.
