About the company


We are a growing heavy civil construction contractor based in Western Washington. We specialize in commercial and public procurement projects and are expanding from our roots in residential lot work into more diversified private commercial work. As we scale toward our next growth milestone, we’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Assistant Project Manager to help support project execution, coordination, and operational follow-through.


Position Summary


The Assistant Project Manager will work closely with ownership and field teams to help manage the day-to-day coordination of active construction projects. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced construction environment, can stay organized across multiple moving pieces, and is comfortable handling both administrative and project management responsibilities.


This person will play a key role in keeping projects on schedule, maintaining accurate documentation, coordinating with field crews and subcontractors, and helping ensure timely communication around project changes, budgets, and scheduling.


Key Responsibilities



  • Assist with day-to-day project coordination and execution

  • Schedule crews, equipment, rentals, and site-related logistics

  • Support construction scheduling and track progress against baseline schedules

  • Help manage RFIs, change orders, submittals, and other project documentation

  • Coordinate communication between field teams, vendors, municipalities, and clients

  • Track budgets, committed costs, and project forecasts

  • Assist with billing-related documentation and job costing support

  • Prepare and submit administrative forms such as permit, utility, and hydrant meter applications

  • Maintain organized records and project files

  • Identify issues early and help drive solutions to keep work moving

  • Support the owner with project management tasks and back-end operational work

  • Serve as a reliable point of contact for internal project follow-up


Qualifications



  • 2+ years of experience in construction project management, assistant project management, or a similar role

  • Experience in heavy civil, commercial, or public works construction strongly preferred

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines

  • Ability to work independently without close supervision

  • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and project management/document tracking tools

  • Experience with scheduling, budgeting, RFIs, and change order processes preferred

  • Ability to communicate clearly with field crews, vendors, and external stakeholders


Ideal Candidate


The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can step in quickly, learn the business, and take meaningful work off the owner’s plate. They should be someone who is comfortable starting with support-level tasks and growing into a larger project management role over time. They should bring strong judgment, solid construction experience, and the confidence to operate with increasing independence.


Compensation


Compensation will be competitive and based on experience. We are open to hiring a strong mid-level to senior-level candidate who can operate with minimal hand-holding and contribute immediately.
