Superior Rigging & Erecting is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join our Atlanta team and support the planning and execution of complex crane, rigging, steel erection, and specialty construction projects.

This is an opportunity for an early-career construction professional who wants more than administrative project support. You will work alongside experienced project managers, superintendents, engineers, field leaders, customers, and subcontractors while gaining hands‑on exposure to the full project lifecycle.

Since 1952, Superior Rigging & Erecting has built a reputation for taking on difficult work and delivering it safely and successfully.

We Make the Tough Look Easy.

What You'll Do

• Support Project Managers from project startup through closeout.
• Assist with project schedules, budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, and documentation.
• Coordinate submittals, RFIs, change orders, purchase orders, and project correspondence.
• Help coordinate materials, equipment, subcontractors, vendors, and field operations.
• Participate in project meetings and track action items and deliverables.
• Review drawings, specifications, contracts, and project requirements.
• Communicate with customers, engineers, superintendents, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Help identify project risks, schedule impacts, and potential cost issues.
• Support billing, job-cost reporting, and project closeout activities.
• Visit jobsites as needed to understand field conditions and support project execution.
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, accountability, and customer service.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Building Construction, or a related field with at least 1 year of relevant construction experience; or
• In lieu of a degree, 2+ years of similar and relevant construction experience in project coordination, project engineering, field engineering, estimating, or assistant project management.
• Internship, co-op, or substantial project/field experience may be considered toward the experience requirement.
• Ability to read and understand construction drawings and specifications.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working with both office and field teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with construction project management software is a plus.
• Experience with structural steel, steel erection, crane and rigging, heavy industrial, commercial construction, or specialty contracting is preferred, but not required.
• Willingness to travel to jobsites as project needs require.

What Makes Someone Successful Here

You do not need to know everything on day one. We are looking for someone who is driven, organized, accountable, willing to learn, and comfortable taking ownership. You should want to understand how projects are actually built—not just how they are managed from behind a desk.

If you want exposure to complex construction, experienced field leaders, and a path toward becoming a Project Manager, we want to talk with you.

Why Superior Rigging & Erecting

At Superior Rigging & Erecting, our work requires planning, teamwork, technical expertise, and disciplined execution. You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced construction professionals while working on projects that build real project management experience.
