Commercial Construction Asst. Project Manager/Coordinator

Project Controls and Field Coordination

Be the Person Who Connects the Field, Project Manager, and Leadership

At BF Construction Inc., successful projects happen because the team is looking ahead, asking the right questions, following through on commitments, and keeping the field and office aligned.

We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager with commercial construction experience who wants to continue growing toward a Project Manager role.

This position works directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, Field Leads, subcontractors, vendors, and Leadership to support active commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout.

The ideal candidate understands construction, is highly organized and detail-oriented, follows through consistently, and takes ownership of execution.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Project Controls and Scheduling

• Help maintain and drive active project schedules and the company Master Schedule
• Build and maintain one- and two-week lookaheads
• Coordinate upcoming work with Project Managers, Superintendents/Field Leads, subcontractors, and vendors
• Identify schedule conflicts, missing information, delays, and sequencing risks
• Confirm completed work and update schedules when field conditions or decisions change

Subcontractor, Vendor, and Procurement Coordination

• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, manpower, material deliveries, equipment, inspections, access, and logistics
• Track procurement and long-lead materials
• Follow open commitments through completion and flag missing or unconfirmed dates before they affect production

Field Coordination

• Review field progress, Daily Project Updates, SiteCam photos, and project documentation
• Confirm reported progress aligns with actual field conditions
• Identify incomplete work, missing information, and coordination issues
• Maintain constant communication with Field Leads, including, but not limited to performing weekly project planning meetings

Project Documentation and Follow-Through

• Review drawings, specifications, Bluebeam markups, RFIs, and submittals
• Track RFIs, submittals, procurement items, change-order follow-up, and project action items
• Maintain accurate project records and communicate updates clearly
• Follow assigned actions through completion with detail, consistency, and accountability

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• This is not a purely administrative support role. The APM is expected to understand the project, stay organized, and actively support planning and execution.
• This is not simply maintaining schedules and project documents. This role requires close attention to detail, accurate follow-through, and consistent execution from one step to the next.
• This is not a position that waits for the Project Manager or Leadership to identify every issue. The APM should recognize risks, missing information, and upcoming needs early and help drive them through resolution.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of commercial construction experience
• Experience as a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager, Construction Project Coordinator, or similar construction role
• Ability to read and understand construction plans, specifications, and project documents
• Working knowledge of commercial construction sequencing and project workflow
• Experience with schedules, subcontractors, procurement, RFIs, submittals, and field coordination
• Strong attention to detail with consistent follow-through and execution
• Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing accuracy or missing commitments
• Clear communication, strong organization, and a problem-solving mindset
• Desire to grow into a commercial construction Project Manager

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Commercial tenant improvements, renovations, site work, exterior and/or ground-up construction
• Smartsheet or comparable scheduling software
• Bluebeam and Procore or comparable construction-management software
• Microsoft 365, Slack, Dropbox, and field-documentation systems such as SiteCam

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Project schedules and documentation remain accurate and current
• Upcoming subcontractors, materials, inspections, and project needs are identified early
• Field progress is accurately reflected in the project plan
• Risks, missing information, and open items are communicated before they affect the schedule
• Commitments and action items are followed through consistently
• Project Managers and Superintendents can rely on the APM for accurate, detailed execution

HARD REQUIREMENT

Candidates must have direct commercial construction experience and a working understanding of project schedules, subcontractor coordination, procurement, field conditions, and construction documentation.

This role is designed for someone who already has a construction foundation and is ready to take on greater project-management responsibility.

CAREER PATH

Assistant Project Manager to Project Manager to Senior Project Manager

BF Construction is committed to developing people who want to build a long-term career in construction project management. You will work directly with experienced Project Managers, Superintendents, Field Leads, and Leadership while learning BF Construction’s systems, processes, and standards.

Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a practical project-controls assessment involving schedules, field updates, photographs, procurement information, and project communication.
