Job summary

Keystone Distinction Group in the Richmond, VA area is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to support a Senior PM on active heavy civil and highway projects, taking on meaningful responsibilities from day one.

You will run daily project execution: submittals, RFIs, procurement and material tracking, subcontractor coordination, quantity and cost tracking, and monthly payment requisitions, with expansion toward owner and inspector interfaces, schedule updates, and change management.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years on heavy civil, highway, or utility projects (field engineer, project engineer, or current APM).
• Working knowledge of construction scheduling and cost tracking; HeavyJob, Bluebeam, or P6 exposure is a plus.
• B.S. in Civil Engineering or Construction Management, and/or equivalent field experience.
• Valid driver's license with a good driving record; travel is primarily local.
• Based in or willing to relocate to the Richmond area (relocation assistance available for the right candidate).

Responsibilities

• Drive submittals, RFIs, and procurement schedules so field crews stay ahead of the work.
• Coordinate subcontractors and supplier purchase orders to protect schedule commitments.
• Track quantities, production, and costs against budget — and flag variances early.
• Support monthly payment requisitions, cost projections, and project documentation.
• Sit in weekly project team meetings covering schedule and cost review — and learn how profitable projects are actually run.
• Support a safety culture that's instilled at every level of the project, not laminated on a wall.
