Assistant Project Manager

Join a respected high-end residential builder known for craftsmanship, integrity, and complex custom homes across San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Woodside. As Assistant Project Manager, you’ll support Project Managers and Superintendents with budgeting, scheduling, documentation, trade coordination, and communication from preconstruction through closeout.

This is a hands-on growth role for someone field-aware, detail-oriented, and eager to become a trusted project management partner on exceptional residential projects.

The Assistant Project Manager helps run high-end residential projects, working in close partnership with a Project Manager and Superintendent across budget tracking, schedule coordination, and project communication from preconstruction through closeout.

This role is central to the company’s next chapter of growth and continuity. The APM will work inside a PM team that’s actively scaling, across the Peninsula and Woodside, including a cluster of equestrian estate projects and, starting spring 2027, a $40–50M estate that may require dedicated on-site project management.

• End-to-end project support — From construction through closeout, the APM holds a defined slice of budget, schedule, scope, and communication, including assistance with budgeting, buyout, and subcontract coordination.
• Schedule as a reliable operating tool — Look-aheads and schedule inputs are maintained accurately, integrating inspections, submittals, and long-lead items, and updated as conditions change.
• Financial clarity, labor control, and payroll accuracy — Project financials in ProContractor are entered accurately and kept current, supporting informed decisions and margin protection.
• Design coordination without surprises — RFIs, submittals, and change events are driven through Procore so design questions and product approvals are resolved before they hit schedule or budget.
• Aligned teams and smooth coordination — Field teams, trade partners, and design consultants are kept in the loop; issues are surfaced early, framed with options, and resolved collaboratively.
• Well-run meetings — Weekly OAC and internal project meetings are supported with prepared agendas, thorough documentation, and tracked action items.
• Strong cash flow and trusted relationships — Subcontractor pay applications are timely, accurate, and well-supported with documentation.
• Clean, complete closeout and owner-ready house manuals — Closeout plans are established early and followed through: complete punchlists, warranty documentation, manuals, as-builts, and a well-organized house manual.

• 3–5 years of construction project management or coordination experience, ideally on custom homes or complex remodels in the Bay Area.
• Comfort with construction budgeting basics; cost coding, change order documentation, general budget awareness.
• Experience with schedule coordination and look-ahead maintenance; familiarity with critical path thinking, sequencing, and long-lead item tracking.
• Solid understanding of building assemblies, trades, sequencing, and permitting/inspection processes.
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and consultant drawings and specifications.
• Clean driving record required.
• Working proficiency with Procore, ProContractor, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Office.

• Base salary: $105,000–$130,000 DOE

• Insurance: Medical, dental, life, AD&D, and LTD insurance with high employer contribution
• Retirement: 401(k) / ROTH IRA with company match
