A bit about us

This company is a Cambridge, MA-based owner's project management and development management firm serving corporate, life science, higher education, mission-critical, investor/developer, and not-for-profit clients throughout the Greater Boston area. For over a decade, our client has built a reputation for delivering complex, high-stakes real estate and construction projects on behalf of building owners, guiding everything from initial planning and design oversight through construction management and project closeout. The firm's project portfolio spans large-scale lab and office builds, corporate tenant fit-outs, student housing, and specialized recreational and mission-critical facilities, working alongside some of the region's most recognized institutional and corporate names.

Why join us

• Competitive base salary of $90,000-115,000 (contingent on experience)

• A firm clients keep coming back to. The vast majority of this company's business comes from repeat clients, a track record that reflects the quality of work you'd be contributing to from day one.
• Real project exposure, early. Rather than being confined to a single sector, you'll get hands-on experience across life science labs, corporate interiors, higher education, and mission-critical facilities.
• A genuine growth path. This is a company that promotes from within. Assistant Project Managers here are given increasing ownership as they develop, with a clear trajectory toward Project Manager and beyond.
• Embedded, relationship-driven culture. You'll see firsthand how the firm builds trust with clients through active, hands-on partnership rather than working at arm's length.
