Assistant Project Manager - Grow Into a Project Manager Role

Location: Cameron Park, CA

Company: Hemington Landscape Services, Inc.

Build Your Career, Not Just Another Job

Are you detail-oriented, motivated, and looking to grow into a Project Manager role? Do you want hands‑on experience managing real commercial landscape construction projects with leadership that actively trains and promotes from within?

At Hemington Landscape Services, the Assistant Project Manager (APM) role is a deliberate growth position designed to develop future Project Managers. If you're willing to learn, take ownership, and step up, we'll invest in you.

About Hemington

Hemington Landscape Services, Inc. is a commercial landscape, concrete, and park construction contractor serving the greater Sacramento area. Founded in 1983, we're a stable, long‑term company with consistent local work and a family‑oriented culture built on Service, Quality, and Character.

Many of our Project Managers started in support or field roles and advanced through structured development and mentorship.

The Opportunity

As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll work directly with experienced Project Managers and Construction Managers to support projects from preconstruction through closeout. You'll gain exposure to:

• Materials and purchasing
• RFIs and change orders
• Budget tracking
• Inspections and scheduling
• Jobsite coordination
• Client communication
• Project documentation and closeout

This role is ideal for someone who wants to learn the full lifecycle of commercial landscape construction and grow into owning projects of their own.

Your Path to Project Manager

This is not a dead‑end support role. Hemington has a proven Project Manager development path, and this position is the entry point into it.

As you demonstrate capability and consistency, you'll gradually take on:

• Direct responsibility for portions of projects
• Client communication and meetings
• Schedule and budget ownership
• Leadership of Construction Managers
• Project accountability and performance metrics

Your growth is intentional, mentored, and measurable.

What You'll Be Doing

• Assist Project Managers with day‑to‑day project execution
• Place and track material purchase orders
• Coordinate jobsite inspections with cities and agencies
• Support RFIs, change orders, and submittals
• Visit project sites to track progress and quality
• Help manage budgets, schedules, and closeout documents
• Ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Build trust with Project Managers and Construction Managers through reliability and followthrough

Who This Role Is For

We're looking for someone who is:

• Organized and detail-oriented
• Coachable and eager to learn
• Technologically proficient
• Comfortable leading/managing others and making decisions.
• Comfortable working in both the office and field
• A strong communicator (Spanish is a plus)
• Motivated to grow into a leadership role
• Aligned with our values of Service, Quality, and Character

Experience levels vary:

• Candidates with several years of experience in commercial landscaping or a highly related construction trade will be considered at the higher end of the pay range.
• Candidates with little or no industry experience are encouraged to apply and will be considered at the lower end, with training and development provided.

Why Hemington

• Clear career path to Project Manager
• Direct mentorship from experienced PMs
• Stable, year‑round local work
• Supportive, team‑first culture
• Real responsibility and growth—not busywork
• Competitive pay and strong benefits

Benefits

• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Medical and dental insurance
• Life and disability insurance
• Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays
• Long‑term career growth and training
