Construction Project Manager/Construction assistant

About AJ Remodeling

AJ Remodeling is a growing, full-service home remodeling company based in Birmingham, AL. We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishing, room additions, flooring, and full home renovations. We are built on quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and delivering results that exceed our clients' expectations. As we scale, we are looking for a driven, detail-oriented construction leader to join our team and help us build something great.

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Project Manager / Construction Manager who can own job sites from start to finish. This person is equal parts field leader and operational thinker — someone who knows how to source and manage a crew, keep a project on schedule and on budget, and hold everyone (including themselves) to a high standard. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in your work, and can lead people with authority and respect, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee all active remodeling projects from pre-construction through final walkthrough, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery
• Source, vet, and coordinate subcontractors and day laborers — building and maintaining a reliable crew network across the LA area
• Delegate tasks clearly and effectively to on-site workers, holding crew members accountable to timelines and quality standards
• Conduct daily site visits to inspect work quality, monitor progress, and resolve any issues before they escalate
• Read and interpret blueprints, project scopes, and material specifications with precision
• Communicate proactively with the owner and clients on project status, changes, and any concerns
• Create and manage project schedules, track milestones, and adjust plans when needed to stay on track
• Order materials, coordinate deliveries, and manage inventory on site — minimizing waste and downtime
• Ensure all work meets local building codes, safety regulations, and company quality standards
• Document project progress through photos, notes, and reports for internal records and client updates
• Identify and resolve problems in the field quickly and independently — you are the decision-maker on site

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in construction management, general contracting, or project supervision — residential remodeling experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to source and manage subcontractors and construction crews in the Los Angeles area
• Strong delegation skills — you know how to assign the right task to the right person and follow up without micromanaging
• Obsessive attention to detail: you catch issues before they become problems and hold your work to the highest standard
• Ability to read blueprints, scopes of work, and construction plans
• Solid understanding of construction sequencing, trades coordination (plumbing, electrical, framing, tile, etc.), and building codes
• Strong communication skills — you can speak clearly with clients, crews, and ownership without things getting lost in translation
• Self-starter mentality: you take ownership of your projects and do not need to be hand-held
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus — most crews in AL are Spanish-speaking
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required
• OSHA 10 or 30 certification is a plus

Pay: From $20.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
