Entry level Project Manager Facilities & Construction

Location: East Hartford, CT (On-Site 5 Days per Week)

Opportunity Type: Long-Term Career Opportunity

Launch Your Career in Construction & Project Management

A leading workplace solutions organization is seeking a motivated Project Coordinator / Assistant Project Manager to join its growing team in East Hartford, CT. This is an excellent opportunity for recent college graduates or early-career professionals looking to build a career in construction management, facilities project management, workplace planning, and commercial renovations.

You’ll work alongside experienced project managers, designers, facility planners, contractors, and construction professionals while helping coordinate projects that transform how organizations operate and utilize their workspaces.

If you’re looking for a role that provides hands‑on exposure to construction projects, space planning, facilities operations, budgeting, vendor coordination, and project management, this is a unique opportunity to gain experience that can lead to future Project Manager, Construction Manager, Facilities Manager, or Program Manager positions.

About The Company

This organization helps businesses, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and public sector clients design, build, furnish, and support modern work environments. Their projects combine construction, facilities management, workplace technology, furniture systems, and space planning to create innovative spaces where people can do their best work.

What You'll Be Doing

As part of the project team, you’ll support a variety of facilities and construction-related initiatives, including:

• Assisting with office renovations, workplace transformation projects, and facility improvements
• Creating and updating floor plans and layouts using AutoCAD
• Supporting space planning efforts, employee relocations, and office reconfigurations
• Coordinating contractors, vendors, and project stakeholders
• Participating in project meetings and helping track schedules, budgets, and deliverables
• Conducting site visits, field measurements, and existing condition assessments
• Supporting bid packages, procurement activities, and contractor onboarding
• Monitoring project progress and helping ensure milestones are achieved
• Assisting with documentation, reporting, and project closeout activities
• Maintaining project records, drawings, and space management information

What We're Looking For

New graduates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Preferred Degrees Include

• Construction Management
• Civil Engineering
• Architectural Engineering
• Architecture
• Facilities Management
• Project Management
• Engineering Technology
• Building Construction Technology
• Related construction or technical disciplines

Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, academic project, or professional experience related to construction, facilities, architecture, engineering, or project management
• Familiarity with AutoCAD through coursework or professional experience
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Interest in construction projects, facilities planning, and project coordination
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Excel and Outlook

Nice to Have

• AutoCAD experience
• Revit exposure
• Construction internship experience
• Facilities or space planning experience
• Knowledge of commercial construction projects
• Understanding of blueprints, drawings, and construction documents
• Experience working with contractors, vendors, or construction teams

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than an entry-level coordination role. You’ll gain exposure to multiple aspects of the project lifecycle, from design and planning through construction and project completion. You’ll work directly with experienced professionals while developing skills in project management, facilities operations, construction coordination, vendor management, budgeting, and workplace design.

For someone interested in building a long-term career in construction management or project management, this role offers the opportunity to learn from industry experts and grow into larger project leadership responsibilities over time
