Construction Project Coordinator (Assistant Project Manager)

About the role

We are seeking a motivated Construction Project Coordinator to support the successful planning, execution, and completion of commercial and institutional construction projects. This position is ideal for someone with experience in project management, estimating, scheduling, and subcontractor coordination who is looking to grow within a collaborative construction environment. The successful candidate will assist with managing projects from pre-construction through closeout while ensuring schedules, budgets, safety standards, and quality expectations are met. Position Overview This role manages smaller construction projects valued up to approximately $4 million or supports larger, more complex projects under the direction of senior project management. Projects may include commercial renovations, institutional facilities, design-build work, task order projects, and fast-track construction. The ideal candidate understands the full project lifecycle-from planning and estimating through construction and closeout-and is comfortable working with a variety of project delivery methods, including design-build, IDIQ, lump sum, and fast-track projects. While much of the work is coordinated through subcontractors, experience managing self-performed work is highly valued.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field with 2-3 years of experience working for a commercial or industrial general contractor, or
• At least 5 years of directly related construction project experience without a degree.
• Experience coordinating both self-performed construction work and subcontracted trades.
• Understanding of commercial and institutional building renovation, including related site work.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, spreadsheets, email, and construction management software.
• Ability to safely lift up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to work in active construction environments, including walking job sites, climbing ladders and stairs, and performing frequent site inspections.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
• OSHA 30, First Aid, and CPR certifications.
• Current CQC certification.
• Engineer in Training (EIT) or Associate Constructor (AC) credential preferred.
• Candidates who do not currently hold the required certifications may be eligible for a grace period of up to six months to obtain them.
