The APM will work full-time from the project site and serve as Be Design's primary day-to-day representative on site, working alongside the General Contractor and project team. We are looking for someone who understands construction, is highly organized, takes ownership of their work, and can be trusted to manage significant portions of the project with limited day-to-day oversight. Key Responsibilities The Assistant Project Manager will be responsible for a combination of field coordination, subcontractor procurement, project administration, and financial tracking, including: Manage the day-to-day coordination of subcontractors and vendors assigned to Be Design. Assist with and ultimately take ownership of subcontractor procurement, including soliciting proposals, leveling bids, clarifying scope, negotiating pricing, and preparing recommendations for award. Prepare and manage subcontract agreements, scopes of work, purchase orders, and related documentation. Coordinate subcontractor mobilization, scheduling, sequencing, and field activities. Maintain a strong understanding of the project drawings, specifications, design intent, and assigned trade scopes. Proactively identify construction issues, coordination conflicts, schedule concerns, incomplete work, and items requiring management attention. Work closely and professionally with the General Contractor's project management and field staff. Participate in subcontractor meetings, coordination meetings, owner/design meetings, and other project meetings as required. Track project financials for assigned scopes, including contracts, commitments, change orders, invoices, allowances, budgets, and anticipated costs. Review subcontractor invoices and payment applications against actual progress and contracted scope. Identify potential change orders and cost impacts before work proceeds whenever possible.

Escalate significant cost, schedule, quality, or coordination issues while independently handling routine project management matters. What We Are Looking For The ideal candidate is someone who is comfortable operating between the office and the field . This is not strictly an administrative APM position.
