Assistant Project Manager
Johnson and Goglia Contracting
At Johnson and Goglia Contracting, we build more than projects — we build careers. We’re looking for an Assistant Project Manager who’s curious, driven, and ready to learn how commercial construction gets done. If you like being hands-on, solving problems, and seeing your work turn into something tangible, this role is for you.
You’ll work side-by-side with experienced Project Managers, field leaders, and union trades while learning how projects are planned, built, and delivered — from preconstruction through closeout.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Support Project Managers and the Operations team with planning, coordination, and day-to-day project execution.
- Help manage multiple commercial projects while learning how to balance schedule, budget, and quality.
- Assist with project layouts, material tracking, tool and equipment planning, and field coordination.
- Review drawings, specs, and project documents — and learn how change orders and pricing work.
- Help solve real jobsite challenges and support field teams during installation.
- Assist with quality control and site safety planning.
- Communicate with field crews, vendors, and clients to keep projects moving forward.
- Be part of project closeouts and see jobs through from start to finish.
What We’re Looking For
- Associate degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent hands-on construction experience.
- Internship or prior exposure to construction, estimating, or engineering is a plus (but not required).
- Ability to read and understand construction drawings (we’ll help you get better).
- Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple priorities.
- Strong communication skills — you can speak up, ask questions, and work with different personalities.
- Team-first mindset
- Self-motivated, reliable, and willing to learn every day.
- Comfortable using Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and Project.
