Type: Full-Time

About Us:
We are a fast-growing real estate development and consulting firm with offices in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. With a strong foundation in mixed use developments, we serve as Owner’s Project Managers (OPMs) for institutional, commercial, and residential clients — and also develop our own real estate across New England. Our team is deeply involved from pre-development through construction, acting as a strategic partner and lead in managing risk, budget, and execution for complex building projects.

Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly capable Assistant Project Manager to support our OPM and development teams across a range of assignments. This role is ideal for someone with a strong construction management background who wants to grow into a full-spectrum real estate role, gaining exposure to design, finance, permitting, and delivery. You’ll work closely with senior project managers and principals to help guide projects from early planning through ribbon cutting.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the day-to-day management of design and construction teams on both development and third-party OPM projects

  • Help manage project schedules, budgets, and contract administration, including pay apps, change orders, and procurement tracking

  • Prepare and maintain project documentation: meeting agendas, minutes, logs, drawing sets, and submittals

  • Participate in site visits, construction meetings, and municipal coordination

  • Track permitting milestones and assist in managing the entitlement process

  • Support the development of project RFPs and review consultant and contractor bids

  • Assist with early-stage feasibility studies, design coordination, and funding applications as needed

  • Interface professionally with clients, contractors, consultants, and municipal stakeholders

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–4 years of construction management or owner’s rep experience required

  • Strong working knowledge of building systems, construction sequencing, and contract structures

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Real Estate, or a related field

  • Excellent communication, documentation, and project coordination skills

  • Organized, proactive, and able to handle multiple priorities

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; familiarity with Procore, Bluebeam, or scheduling software is a plus

  • Eager to grow in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with high exposure to leadership

  • Regional travel may be required

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation with bonus potential

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Paid vacation and holidays

  • Hybrid work structure with regular travel to job sites and client meetings

  • Mentorship and hands-on experience across all phases of development
