Assistant Construction Manager

Posted 22 days ago

Reporting directly to our Director of Operations, we are seeking an ASSISTANT CONSTRUCTION MANAGER to oversee design/build projects for beloved, industry-lauded NYC food and beverage clients, as well as a select number of residential projects in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

We are a small ship where every team member works hard in a very positive, collaborative work environment and are excited to find the right person to join our team.

JOB TYPE: Full-time, Mon-Friday, 8-hour shift

LOCATION: in our office in Ridgewood Queens and on-site at various projects throughout the city.

BENEFITS: Paid time off with potential for both job growth and annual bonus.

EXPERIENCE: 2 years+ construction management or design/build equivalent experience required.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE IS:

• experienced within the field of construction and/or design/architecture

• comfortable overseeing a construction crew and sub-contractors

• punctual, reliable, and highly motivated to grow

• exceptionally detail-oriented

• able to manage a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines

• high on initiative and a quick learner

• diplomatic by nature and a collaboratively minded people-person

• proficient with general office and computer admin, including facility with MSWord, Google Docs, and Excel

• BONUS SKILL: Sketch-Up and/or other 3D modeling skills are a huge plus, but this is not imperative. On smaller projects, modeling skills would allow you to help conceptualize a client’s vision; on larger projects, you would work to provide clarity on build details in advance of design execution by our carpenters and subcontractors.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Offsite and onsite management of 400-6,000+ sf residential and commercial projects.

• Pre-construction prep: including gathering pricing, sourcing materials, meeting with subcontractors, estimating projects, co-managing a construction team and, for design-oriented candidates, participating in the design process.

• Plan all construction operations and schedules to ensure deadlines are met.

• Supervise subcontractors and give guidance as needed.

• Prepare subcontractor documents.

• Evaluate project progress and prepare detailed client reports.

• Assist with permitting and approvals.

• Conduct periodic site visits to monitor construction, review subcontractors’ requisitions for payment to determine the release of payments.

• Oversee the punch-list and project close-out process.
