Assistant Project Manager

The Bannett Group, Ltd, is a well-established, profitable, design-build firm located in Cherry Hill, NJ that has been in business for over 50 years. We are experienced in a wide array of industries that include retail, restaurant, mixed-use development, healthcare, and commercial markets. Our company produces projects throughout NJ, NY, PA, and other areas in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.

We are seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join our team. This role is a full-time, exempt salaried position for commercial building construction. This is NOT a remote position. Some daily travel is required to reach projects during the week for meetings and inspection of the work. A personal vehicle is required, and the company reimburses travel expenses at company rates. Benefits will include generous PTO, health, dental, vision, insurance, life insurance, and 401(k).

Knowledge, Skills And Experience Required

Our team is using Procore as the primary document management and project management tool, along with other technology such as Sage Timberline, Microsoft Project, Plan Grid, EarthCam, MS Office, and others. Prior experience for this role is preferred but we are willing to train the right candidate. Attention to detail, management of tight time schedule, working collaboratively, and maintaining client relationships are paramount to success. Past successful candidates have had at least a two-year technical or business degree, and most often have been graduates of a four-year program in Construction Management. Working knowledge of basic accounting, engineering, and project management are crucial to meeting the minimum requirements.

Responsibilities

You will be supporting a Project Manager with daily tasks such as managing subcontractors, coordinating daily activities on the site, creating weekly look-ahead schedules, meeting with building inspectors, managing deliveries, working with owner representatives, maintaining as-built documents and surveys, helping to update overall project time schedules and other ongoing project tasks.

Opportunities

You will gain experience in working on commercial building construction projects from the design and bidding phases, through completion. Building construction is competitive, fast-paced, and can be a very rewarding career for someone who is interested in this industry. There is an opportunity for advancement to larger and more complex projects, or other roles in the company, over time.
