Job Description


ABOUT THE ROLE


A leading commercial construction firm is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join their Atlanta-area team. This role manages a defined portion of project scope across commercial and institutional construction projects throughout the Southeastern U.S.


What This Person Will Own:


The APM runs their section of the job autonomously. This includes full ownership of the submittal process from intake through procurement, direct subcontractor administration (payments, insurance, bond, safety, haz-com compliance), document management and project controls, coordination meeting leadership (MEP, skin, site utility and logistics, phasing), cost projection accuracy for assigned scope, punch list execution, and complete project closeout for their area of responsibility.


This role supports the Project Manager but operates with independent judgment in daily problem resolution, materials expediting, and field coordination. It is not a shadow role. The right candidate owns their piece.


What Success Looks Like:


  • Complete submittal log built and maintained with zero untracked items from project start

  • All subcontracts within assigned scope administered with zero compliance lapses

  • Cost projections for assigned scope accurate, current, and reported without being requested

  • Punch list for assigned scope closed on schedule within the project closeout window

  • Project closeout documentation complete and delivered on time


About the Client


The client is a regional commercial general contractor with multiple offices across the Southeast. The Georgia operation runs roughly 250 active job sites at any given time. The self-perform model means the company owns its craft workforce and its progression paths. The VP of Field Operations who oversees this hire started as a carpenter on a wall crew in 2008 and has been with the company for 19 years. That is the trajectory available to people who want it.


The full company profile, benefits package, and culture are reviewed with you during the screening conversation. You will know exactly who you are interviewing with before any interview is scheduled.

Requirements


  • Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.


What We Are Looking ForRequired:


  • Bachelor's degree in construction, engineering, or related field

  • Experience on commercial construction projects (preferred)

  • Familiarity with project management software (Procore or similar)

  • Strong written and verbal communication

  • Conflict resolution and organizational skills

  • Willingness to travel throughout the Southeast and relocate as projects require


Veteran Translation:

This role is an ideal fit for military engineers, SeaBees, and logistics officers who managed construction, infrastructure, or facilities projects in uniform. MOS 12B/12C/12N, CE ratings, 3E series AFSC, BU/CE/EO ratings, and Civil Affairs 38A all translate well. PCS history is an asset, not a question mark. If your service is not on this list and you still believe the role fits, apply.


A Note for Veterans


If you are transitioning out of the military or recently transitioned, this role was built with you in mind. The qualities the service produces, early arrival, situational awareness around personnel, deference to people with more reps regardless of rank, daily inspection discipline, comfort in heat and rain and mud, small-unit cohesion, are the qualities that produce a successful operator on these crews. The client has hired veterans for two decades and will be hiring them for the next two. Apply, and tell us about the equipment you ran or maintained in service.
