The incumbent provides high level administration and supports Project Managers working on multi-million dollar capital projects across the University. They are responsible for planning, reviewing, assessing, and coordinating components of these large projects. The Associate Project Manager may also be assigned small projects for which they will assume full project management responsibility under the guidance of a Project Manager, Senior Project Manager or Associate Director.

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager or Associate Director, the Associate Project Manager is primarily responsible for supporting Project Managers, assigned to multi-million dollar capital projects managed by Infrastructure Development - Project Services, as well as their own projects. Duties include ongoing interaction and communication with clients, such as faculties and administrative departments, regulatory officials, as well as consultants and contractors.
