The Opportunity
The Assistant Project Manager keeps electrical construction projects moving from planning through closeout. You will manage billing, budgets, timelines, and progress tracking, prepare the procedures crews work from, and stay close enough to the detail to catch problems while they are still small.
You will support several projects at once, working alongside project managers and coordinating across field leadership, subcontractors, and vendors. The work runs from purchase orders and submittals through change order logs and time and material vouchers, and what you bring to it is accuracy at volume, because a project team can only move as fast as its paperwork can be trusted.
