Assistant Project Manager

Assistant Project Manager – Commercial Construction Syracuse, NY · Full-Time, On-Site Salary: $65,000 – $90,000/year (commensurate with experience) + bonus, vehicle/mileage allowance, full benefits

About the Role We're a Syracuse-based commercial general contractor with an active pipeline of projects across Central New York — including office, retail, healthcare, industrial, and institutional builds ranging from $100K to $10M+. We're hiring an Assistant Project Manager to support our PM team from preconstruction through closeout. This is a hands-on role with a clear path to Project Manager.

What You'll Do

• Support PMs in managing schedules, budgets, submittals, RFIs, and change orders on active commercial projects
• Coordinate with subcontractors, architects, engineers, and owners — by phone, email, and on-site
• Maintain project documentation in Procore (or similar) and keep logs current
• Help track buyouts, scopes of work, and subcontract compliance (insurance, bonds, prevailing wage where applicable)
• Assist with takeoffs, bid leveling, and preconstruction estimates
• Walk job sites with the Superintendent, identify issues early, and help drive resolution
• Support monthly billing, owner pay apps, and subcontractor pay app review
• Manage closeout: punch lists, O&M manuals, warranties, and as-builts

What We're Looking For

• 1–4 years of experience in commercial construction (PM, PE, estimating, or field-to-office transition all welcome)
• Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent field experience
• Comfortable reading drawings and specs across all CSI divisions
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through — you close loops without being asked twice
• Proficient with Microsoft 365 (Excel especially); Procore, Bluebeam, or PlanSwift experience a plus
• Valid NYS driver's license; OSHA 30 a plus (we'll pay for it if you don't have it)

Nice to Have

• Experience with NYS prevailing wage, SUCF, or DASNY projects
• Familiarity with design-build and CM-at-risk delivery
• LEED, AGC, or CMAA coursework or credentials

What We Offer

• $65,000–$90,000 base + project performance bonus
• Health (employer contribution)
• 401(k) with company match
• Vehicle allowance or company truck (role-dependent)
• PTO + paid holidays
• Continuing education and certification support
• Real mentorship and a defined path to PM
