Assistant Project Manager – Construction / Heavy Civil Support

Assistant Project Manager – Construction / Heavy Civil Support

Onsite – Southern Idaho (Boise area / Idaho Falls region)

$60,000–$65,000 base + performance bonus (average $12K annually)

About the Role

We’re partnered with a well-established, locally rooted construction organization that supports heavy civil and roadway projects throughout Southern Idaho. This team operates at the intersection of construction services and specialty subcontracting, working closely with general contractors and public entities to help projects run safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Due to continued growth, they’re adding an Assistant Project Manager to support multiple active projects and develop into a full Project Manager over time. This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Coordinator or early-career construction professional who wants hands-on exposure, strong mentorship, and a long-term career path.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage a portfolio of assigned projects (starting with 10 smaller jobs), overseeing them from kickoff through closeout
• Attend project meetings and serve as a primary point of coordination between internal teams, owners, and external partners
• Communicate job timelines and updates to the scheduling department (you won’t schedule field labor directly, but you’ll coordinate closely)
• Handle monthly billing and weekly quantity reporting to owners, ensuring accurate reconciliation and zero margin leakage
• Maintain clean, consistent billing practices, issuing invoices monthly based on work completed
• Learn and support estimating efforts, with the long-term goal of estimating, winning work, and owning projects end-to-end
• Track project details using basic tools

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Strong attention to detail in billing, quantities, and reconciliations
• Proactive communication, issues are surfaced early, not after work is complete
• Organized project tracking across multiple jobs at once
• Building trust with internal teams, owners, and partners through clear, confident communication
• Demonstrating ownership and accountability for assigned projects

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in the commercial or construction industry (GC or subcontractor background both welcome)
• Understanding of jobsite workflows, submittals, and owner/subcontractor relationships
• A Project Coordinator or Junior PM ready to step up and grow
• Comfortable holding your ground, asking questions, and communicating clearly
• Willingness to learn estimating, billing, and reconciliation processes
• Bachelor’s degree not required
• Strong culture fit and interest in long-term growth (this team values stability and commitment)

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to heavy civil, roadway, or infrastructure projects
• Familiarity with basic accounting or job cost reconciliation (training provided)
