Assistant Project Manager – Drive Our Growth in the Rocky Mountain Region!

Location: Littleton, CO / Rocky Mountain Region | Pay Range: $65k - $90k

Accelerate Your Career with an Industry Powerhouse

Since 1983, Setpoint Systems Corporation has been the gold standard for systems integration in the Rocky Mountain Region. With over 4,000 systems installed, our legacy is rock-solid—but our future is even bigger. We are currently scaling at a rapid pace and are looking for a high-energy, Assistant Project Manager (APM) to help lead our dynamic project teams into the next era of building automation.

We aren't just looking for a coordinator; we are looking for a future leader. If you are a self-starter who thrives on competition, fast-paced environments, and the challenge of building winning teams, Setpoint is where you belong.

The Role: Execute, Coordinate, and Scale

As an Assistant Project Manager, you will be the engine room of our project execution. Working alongside our Senior Project Managers, you will touch every phase of the project lifecycle, ensuring our rapid growth never compromises our legendary quality.

Core Responsibilities

• Project Force Multiplier: Assist in planning, organizing, and executing high-complexity system integration projects from kickoff to close-out.

• Resource Optimization: Drive the coordination of scheduling, resource allocation, and documentation to keep projects lean and fast.

• Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify project "potholes" and resolve issues before they impact timelines or budgets.

• Communication Hub: Facilitate high-stakes communication between internal engineering teams, subcontractors, and high-profile clients.

• Master of Documentation: Own the project's "paper trail"—from submittals and change orders to progress reports and technical instrumentation procurement.

• Leadership in Training: Represent the Project Manager in high-level review meetings and contribute to a culture of shared accountability and results.

Who You Are: The Motivated Builder

We are assembling a team of "A-Players" who are:

• Self-Starters: You don't wait for a task list; you see a need and fill it.

• Results-Obsessed: You are driven by deadlines and take personal pride in bringing a project in under budget and ahead of schedule.

• Team Architects: You are passionate about building collaborative, high-performing teams that support one another.

• Adaptable Professionals: You thrive in an environment of change and can multitask without losing sight of the fine details.

Qualifications for Success

• The Experience: 3-5 years of project management or systems integration experience (Construction, Automation, or Controls industry is a major plus).

• The Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Management, or a related field (Preferred).

• Technical Proficiency: Expert-level skill with project management software and the Microsoft Office Suite.

• Communication: Top-tier interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and persuade stakeholders.

Why Setpoint Systems?

• Unmatched Stability & Growth: Join a 40-year legacy company that is currently expanding its market share.

• Elite Culture: Work in an environment that rewards initiative, rewards teamwork, and actively promotes from within.

• Competitive Edge: High-tier compensation and benefits package designed to attract and retain the best in the industry.
