The Opportunity

We are hiring a Junior Project Manager, someone early in their career who has already been exposed to project management and is ready to take on real responsibility while continuing to grow.

You will work directly alongside ownership, supporting active projects while being developed into a fully independent Project Manager and ultimately, a leader within the company.

This role is intentionally designed as a growth track position, with a clear path toward:

• Full Project Manager ownership of projects
• Leadership of the PM function
• Potential to oversee a future branch/location

What You'll Be Doing

Project Support & Execution

• Support project planning, scheduling, and coordination across multiple jobs
• Assist in managing budgets, timelines, and subcontractor performance
• Help ensure projects stay on track, on budget, and aligned with quality standards
• Coordinate with vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams

Operational Support

• Take ownership of key project management tasks currently handled by leadership
• Help improve organization, documentation, and workflow consistency
• Support communication between field and office

Learning & Growth

• Gain hands-on exposure to the full project lifecycle-from pre-construction to closeout
• Gradually take on increasing responsibility as capability and confidence grow
• Be mentored directly by leadership with the expectation of stepping into a full PM role

Who You Are

Experience

• 2-4 years of experience in construction, project coordination, or related role
• Exposure to project management responsibilities (not purely administrative)
• Experience in residential or light commercial construction is a plus

Capabilities

• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple moving pieces
• Strong communicator who can work with both field teams and clients
• Comfortable taking initiative and ownership of tasks
• Able to handle increasing responsibility without needing constant direction

Mindset

• Hungry to grow into a Project Manager and future leader
• Coachable, adaptable, and open to feedback
• Takes pride in doing things the right way-not the easy way
• Aligns with a team-first, accountability-driven culture

What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)

• Successfully takes ownership of key project coordination responsibilities
• Reduces workload on senior leadership by handling day-to-day PM tasks
• Demonstrates reliability, initiative, and strong communication
• Begins independently managing portions of projects

Why Join Mitchell Construction & Design?

• Direct mentorship from experienced leadership
• Real responsibility early in your career
• Clear, structured path to leadership
• Opportunity to grow with a company-not get lost in one
• Be part of building something long-term and meaningful
