Assistant Project Manager - Construction
Job Description
Assistant Project Manager – NYC General Contractor
\n
Location: Midtown Manhattan (on-site office)
\n
\n
About the Opportunity
\n
A well-established New York City construction firm is hiring an Assistant Project Manager to join the team delivering a 110,000 sq ft commercial-to-residential conversion in Midtown Manhattan. The project is currently in preconstruction and breaks ground within the next month, so you’ll join at an ideal moment: early enough to learn the project inside out, and right in time to see it come to life.
\n
\n
This is a chance to work on one of the most interesting and in-demand project types in New York right now. Adaptive reuse brings real technical challenges, from working within an existing structure to coordinating new residential systems, and you’ll be at the centre of solving them.
\n
\n
Where You’ll Work
\n
You’ll be based in a proper site office being built out within the existing building. No trailer, just a real workspace right in the heart of the project.
\n
\n
What You’ll Do
\n
- \n
- Support the Project Manager through preconstruction and into construction
- Manage RFIs, submittals, and project documentation
- Coordinate with subcontractors, architects, engineers, and owners
- Help track schedules, budgets, and change orders
- Attend project meetings and keep minutes and action items moving
- Take on increasing responsibility as the project progresses

Why This Role?

You’ll join a team where strong performance is rewarded and visible. With a single project focus to start, you’ll get deep, hands-on exposure to every phase of a complex Manhattan conversion and a clear path to growth.
