Job Description & How to Apply Below

A well-established Connecticut-based general contractor is looking to bring on an Assistant Project Manager to support active construction projects across the state.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants real exposure to project management, field operations, and subcontractor coordination — and who’s looking to grow into a full Project Manager role long term.

Why This Role?

You won’t be stuck doing paperwork. You’ll work directly with experienced Project Managers, gaining hands‑on exposure to budgeting, subcontractor management, scheduling, and change order execution. This role is designed to develop you into a Project Manager.

Real Project Ownership

You’ll be involved in the full lifecycle of construction projects — from preconstruction coordination through closeout. That kind of visibility accelerates learning and builds confidence quickly.

You’ll be working closely with leadership and field teams, not siloed behind a desk. The company values collaboration, accountability, and professional growth.

Exposure to Modern Construction Technology

You’ll gain experience using platforms like Procore and other industry software, building a technical skill set that makes you more marketable long term.

Diverse Connecticut‑Based Projects

With projects located throughout Connecticut, you’ll gain exposure to a variety of job types and field conditions — helping you build a well‑rounded resume.

Stability & Long‑Term Opportunity

This is a company looking for someone who wants to grow with them. If you’re motivated, detail‑oriented, and eager to learn, there is real upward mobility.
