A bit about us:

Our client is an established New England general contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality commercial construction projects throughout the region.

Their portfolio includes a diverse range of commercial, institutional, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and interior construction projects, with a focus on quality, collaboration, and building long-term relationships with clients and project partners.

The company has built its reputation around a hands-on approach to construction and a team-oriented culture where project professionals are given the opportunity to take ownership and grow.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity for an APM who wants to be actively involved in construction—not buried in paperwork.

You'll work alongside experienced Project Managers and field leadership while gaining exposure to everything from preconstruction and estimating through project execution and closeout.

The company provides an environment where APMs can take on increasing responsibility, develop their project management skill set, and work toward becoming a Project Manager.

You'll also have the opportunity to work on a variety of commercial projects rather than being limited to one type of construction or one repetitive project environment.
