Job summary

The Keystone Distinction Group is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join our Richmond, VA area team. You’ll be paired with a Senior PM on active heavy civil and highway projects and hand real responsibility from day one, managing submittals, RFIs, procurement, and cost tracking to keep projects moving.

You’ll coordinate subcontractors, track budget and schedule, and participate in owner/inspector interfaces as you grow to run your own projects in a collaborative, family-owned environment.

Qualifications

• 3–10 years on heavy civil, highway, or utility projects (field engineer, project engineer, or APM)

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management or equivalent field experience
• Valid driver's license with a good driving record; travel is primarily local

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
