Our mission is to deliver thoughtful, community-driven projects that merge design excellence, social impact, and financial performance.

We are seeking an organized, detail-oriented and design-minded Assistant Project Manager (APM) with a background in architecture and 3-7 years of experience in construction management or real estate development. This hands-on position supports the Senior Project Manager and the Development Team across all project phases—from design and entitlements through construction and closeout. This role offers direct exposure to the full development cycle and a defined growth path toward a Project Manager position.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain an organized and detail-oriented approach to managing administrative tasks, documentation, schedules, and project deliverables to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and accountability across all phases.
• Develop and manage detailed project plans — including timelines, budgets, and resource allocation — to ensure efficient, on-time, and on-budget project delivery.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and consultants to translate design vision into coordinated, buildable solutions that align with project objectives.
• Track progress and anticipate challenges, proactively identifying risks and implementing creative solutions to keep projects moving forward.
• Communicate project updates clearly and consistently with senior management and partners to maintain alignment and transparency across all phases.
• Support procurement and contracting efforts, including managing bids, negotiating agreements, and coordinating vendors to ensure quality, cost, and schedule performance.
• Assist in budget development and financial oversight, monitoring expenses, reviewing change orders, and identifying cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing quality or safety.
• Conduct regular site visits to review progress, quality, and safety standards, addressing field issues promptly to minimize delays or rework.
• Ensure compliance with design documents, building codes, and applicable laws throughout the construction process.
• Collaborate with internal teams, including acquisitions, accounting, finance, marketing, and operations.
• Prepare and review financial documentation such as invoices, pay applications, and monthly requisitions, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Foster strong relationships with contractors, consultants, public agencies, and community partners to support long-term collaboration and project success.
• Contribute to regular Operations Review Meetings, presenting progress, budget status, and key milestones.
• Manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment and work well under pressure to meet tight deadlines.
