Job description

$125K-$155K - 100% Company Paid Benefits - Vehicle Allowance - Half a Billion in Backlog. Real Path to PM.

If you're an Engineer tired of sitting on the bench waiting for someone above you to move, read this.

A Design-Build GC with a massive backlog; DEP, PANYNJ, MTA, and private clients, needs to add an Assistant PM to the team.

The numbers:

• $125K-$155K base
• $500/month vehicle allowance
• Gas & tolls covered
• 100% company-paid health insurance
• Bonus - typically 10%-13% in year one
• Annual salary and career reviews, built in

Why this role is different:

• Backlog north of $500M across DEP, PANYNJ, MTA & private work
• Design-Build function means real exposure, not just paperwork
• Management team that actually gets it - they know good people don't want to wait five years for a title change
• Clear runway from APM to PM, not a vague promise

Who this is for:

An APM who's ready, capable, and done watching less-driven people get promoted ahead of them because they've "been there longer."

No stagnant bench. No corporate red tape. Just work, growth, and pay that matches the effort.
