Job Description

Assistant Project Manager

Columbus, OH

$85,000–$105,000 base salary + bonus + profit sharing + monthly car allowance

A highly respected, Columbus-based general contractor with deep local roots is seeking an Assistant Project Manager to join its growing team. This firm is known for its family-like culture, long employee tenure, and commitment to developing talent from within — offering real mentorship, meaningful responsibility, and a clear path for advancement.

This is a standout opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a Project Manager role while working on high-quality projects and being supported by leadership that truly invests in its people.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • 100% company-funded medical insurance — zero cost to the employee
  • Monthly car allowance provided
  • Strong Columbus company roots with a trusted reputation across Central Ohio
  • Family-like, team-first culture — leadership is accessible and collaborative
  • Hands-on mentorship from experienced Project Managers and Superintendents
  • Exposure to diverse project sectors: commercial, higher education, healthcare, data center / mission-critical, and civic
  • Proven growth path — APMs are developed and promoted as the company expands
  • Stability of a well-established builder with the energy of a growing organization

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Support Project Managers in the execution of construction projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Assist with budgeting, cost tracking, forecasting, and change management
  • Manage project documentation including RFIs, submittals, contracts, and meeting minutes
  • Coordinate with Superintendents, subcontractors, and vendors to support field operations
  • Participate in scheduling, procurement, and material tracking
  • Attend owner, architect, and internal project meetings
  • Learn decision-making and leadership skills through direct exposure to senior team members

What They’re Looking For

  • 2–5+ years of experience in construction project management or project engineering
  • General contractor or construction management background
  • Experience supporting commercial or institutional projects
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Desire for long-term growth into a Project Manager role
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (not always required)

Compensation & Benefits

  • $85,000–$105,000 base salary, depending on experience
  • Annual bonus and profit sharing
  • 100% company-paid medical insurance (no employee premium cost)
  • Monthly car allowance
  • Dental and vision coverage options available
  • 401(k) with company contribution
  • PTO and paid holidays
  • Long-term training, mentorship, and leadership development

The Culture & Long-Term Vision

  • This is a company that builds more than projects — it builds careers. Team members are supported, challenged, and developed with the goal of long-term success. If you’re looking for a place where people know your name, leadership is invested in your growth, and you’re part of a tight-knit team, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
