Job description

New York, NY | On-site | Full-time | General Contractor

$100,000–$140,000

A New York general contractor is hiring Assistant Project Managers to support project teams on commercial GC work across the five boroughs. You won't run the job alone. You'll own pieces of it, learn the full project cycle, and get better at both the field and office sides.

The work

Commercial GC projects in NYC: occupied buildings, tight logistics, the DOB (Department of Buildings), and a PM who expects you to show up with the numbers and status already right.

What you'll do

• Support the Project Manager on buyout, RFIs, submittals, change tracking and pay apps.
• Build and update look-aheads, logs and Procore (or similar), so the PM and superintendent aren't chasing paper.
• Coordinate material deliveries and inspections with the trades, the superintendent and building management.
• Walk the site, read drawings, and flag issues before they become RFIs.
• Close out packages cleanly, including punch lists, as-builts, warranties and turnover documents.

Who this is for

• You have 2–5 years on a GC or strong CM team in New York. Time as a project engineer, APM or project coordinator counts.
• You already know Procore, Bluebeam and Excel well enough that nobody has to teach you the basics.
• You're comfortable working on site in Manhattan and the boroughs and in the office in the same week.
• You want to become a PM. This isn't a forever coordinator seat.

Who this isn't for

• Fresh graduates with no construction experience.
• Interiors-only coordinators with no GC field exposure.
• Anyone who only wants desk work and won't walk the job.
• Owner's rep or pure estimating backgrounds with no project delivery experience.

Pay

Base salary of $100,000–$140,000, depending on your years with a GC and how much of the job you already own.
