Project Manager Assistant Civil Construction

Job Description

JOB SUMMARY

Maylor Foundation Contractors is seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Project Coordinator to support project planning, coordination, and execution across our geotechnical and deep foundation projects. This role bridges field operations and office-based project management — assisting with documentation, scheduling, procurement, reporting, and quantity takeoffs while working closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, engineers, subcontractors, and clients. In addition to coordination duties, this position carries direct responsibility for construction takeoffs.

This is a growth role: the right person will learn the business from the ground up and develop toward a future Project Manager position at Maylor.

• Review site plans, grading, structural drawings, geotechnical reports, and specifications to support accurate estimating and bid preparation.

• Solicit, gather, and track material and equipment pricing from vendors and suppliers; maintain organized quote logs.

• Assist the estimating team and Project Managers in assembling complete bid packages, proposals, and supporting documentation.

• Help maintain historical cost data and unit pricing to improve estimating accuracy over time.

Project Coordination & Documentation

• Assist in planning, organizing, and coordinating project activities from start to finish alongside the Project Manager.

• Prepare and maintain project logs, RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily reports, and meeting minutes.

• Prepare project documentation for clients, FDOT requirements, and internal records.

Field Support & Coordination

• Assist with field measurements, layout verification, and quantity tracking of installed work.

• Track production data, material usage, and equipment hours for reporting and cost analysis.

• Help ensure work is executed in compliance with project specifications, safety standards, and quality requirements; reinforce jobsite safety measures.

Procurement & Cost Tracking

• Assist in obtaining material quotes and coordinating procurement to keep job sites supplied ahead of schedule.

• Track project expenses, equipment usage, and subcontractor invoices; support accurate cost coding of purchase orders and field expenses.

• Support budgeting and forecasting efforts by keeping cost and quantity data current and organized.
