About the role

We're hiring a Project Assistant to join our project management team. This role supports construction projects from start to finish, ensuring they meet client expectations.

  • Support Project Managers across all phases of construction: preconstruction, execution, and closeout.
  • Manage project documentation in ProjectSight, including superpacks, submittals, subcontracts, insurance certificates, and compliance tracking.
  • Process subcontracts, purchase orders, and change orders in Vista; import V-Link spreadsheets from estimates.

  • Represent the company in client and project management meetings.
  • Maintain warranty logs, punch list tracking, and closeout status reporting.
  • Support the accounting team with research, reconciliation, and documentation as needed.

Requirements

  • A service-oriented mindset. Anticipate needs, follow through without being chased, and approach every task with humility and willingness.
  • Exceptional organizational skills across multiple projects and platforms simultaneously.
  • Comfort working in fast-paced environments where priorities shift and good judgment matters as much as process.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite; experience with construction management software (ProjectSight, Vista, or similar) is a strong plus.
  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication with internal teams, clients, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • A high attention to detail and personal accountability for accuracy and completeness.
  • Discretion when handling sensitive contract, financial, and personnel information.

Qualifications

  • Administrative or coordination professional from construction or a project-driven industry.
  • Recent graduate with strong organizational instincts.
