Excellent opportunity for an Assistant Project Manager from an industrial mechanical background looking to step into a role with real responsibility, hands-on project exposure, and a clear development path toward becoming a Project Manager.

  • Working with General Contractors, Subcontractors, Inspectors, Designers, and technical teams
  • Assisting with new work pricing and change order estimates
  • Monitoring labor and material budgets
  • Keeping all project documentation and deliverables current
  • Supporting system troubleshooting, startups, and punch list close-out
  • Assisting with site inspections and quality control

What They're Looking For

  • Background in industrial mechanical environments
  • Experience with heavy piping, manufacturing facilities, plant upgrades, or similar
  • Shipyard or mechanical military experience will be seriously considered
  • Strong organizational skills and a practical, problem-solving mindset
  • Preferred but not essential :

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or currently enrolled)
  • Experience in HVAC, plumbing, or piping environments
  • If you're an Assistant Project Manager or mechanically minded professional looking to step into project delivery and grow long-term, this is exactly the kind of role that sets you up properly.
