Job Title: Assistant Project Manager – Ready Mix Concrete

The Assistant Project Manager (APM) supports the Project Manager in the daily planning, coordination, and execution of ready‑mix concrete projects from bid through delivery and project close‑out. This role serves as a key liaison between customers, dispatch, plant operations, quality control, and field crews to ensure that concrete is produced and delivered on time, in specification, safely, and within budget. The APM interfaces directly with contractors, site supers, and project stakeholders while working closely with American Eagle Ready Mix dispatch and plant teams to sequence loads, manage schedules, and resolve field issues in real time.

• Review project plans, specifications, and submittals to confirm mix design requirements, delivery sequences, site access logistics, and any special placement or testing requirements.
• Coordinate pre‑pour meetings with customers, dispatch, and quality control to align on timing, volumes, placement methods, and any site‑specific requirements before each pour.

• Enter and maintain accurate project, customer, and order information in Command Alkon and Net Suite; ensure all orders reflect current contract terms, mix specifications, and delivery requirements.
• Monitor open orders, change orders, and pour volumes against contracted quantities; proactively flag overages, scope changes, and pricing adjustments to the Project Manager.
• Support contract review and ensure all applicable terms are correctly applied — including price escalators, minimum load requirements, fuel and environmental surcharges, and demurrage provisions.
• Assist with bid platform submissions through Building Connected, Procore, iSqFt, or similar tools as required by customer or project specifications.

• Work daily with American Eagle Ready Mix dispatch to sequence loads, balance plant capacity, and resolve delivery issues in real time — serving as the field‑facing operational coordinator for assigned projects.
• Coordinate with plant managers and batch operators to ensure the correct mix designs are loaded, material supplies are adequate, and plant readiness aligns with pour schedules.
