Are you an Assistant Project Manager or Assistant Project Engineer looking to step up into a role where you will be trusted with real responsibility, exposed to the full project lifecycle, and developed into a well-rounded Project Manager-without spending your week on the road?

On offer is a long-term opportunity with a growing commercial contractor where you'll support senior leadership across renovation and ground-up builds across the Jacksonville area, while building the skills to run projects end-to-end (from pricing and procurement through to closeout). This position is focused on local work and does not require travelling out of area.

Known for delivering high-quality work across sectors such as retail and sports/entertainment, the business is expanding and is adding to the team due to continued growth and new project wins.

You'll also develop strong relationships with clients and trade partners-becoming the type of PM who can analyse information, make decisions, and keep projects moving.

This role would suit an Assistant Project Manager from a commercial, industrial, or institutional background looking for genuine development, broader responsibility, and a clear pathway to the next step.


The Role:

• Support delivery of commercial construction projects local to Jacksonville (no travel)
• Coordinate RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project documentation
• Work with Superintendents and subcontractors to drive day-to-day progress
• Assist with scheduling, procurement, cost tracking, and closeout activities
• Develop relationships with clients, suppliers, and trade partners

The Person:

• 3+ years' experience in an Assistant Project Manager (or similar) role
