Assistant Project Manager II
About the role
BLOX is revolutionizing the construction industry by integrating advanced manufacturing principles with innovative technology to deliver high-quality, modular building solutions. We are seeking a proactive, analytically minded Assistant Project Manager II (APM II) to drive execution of program tasks and own selected coordination workstreams end-to-end within our Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) delivery model. The APM II is a mid-level role in the Program Management Group that blends office-based program coordination with onsite field support, performing at a higher level of independence and accuracy than the APM I and preparing financial deliverables for PM review. The APM II ensures critical information — schedule changes, cost impacts, buyout status, QFL findings — reaches the right stakeholder at the right time. Strong information fluency, process discipline, and the ability to train others on both are central to the role.
