📌 Assistant Project Manager - Structural Steel
📍Summit County, Ohio
💰 $70,000-$90,000 Base Salary + Bonus Opportunity
Some construction projects look straightforward on paper.
Until you're dealing with steel deliveries, field crews, equipment, changing site conditions, drawings, RFIs, and multiple teams all needing to stay aligned.
That's where a strong Assistant Project Manager makes a difference.
An established structural steel contractor with decades of experience delivering commercial, institutional, and industrial projects across Ohio is looking to add an Assistant Project Manager to its growing team.
The business has continued to expand as part of a larger national steel erection organisation, creating an opportunity for someone who wants to build their career within a company with strong industry experience, resources, and a growing project pipeline.
This isn't simply a role focused on paperwork.
You'll work alongside Project Managers and Field Operations, gaining exposure to the commercial and operational side of structural steel projects while helping keep work moving from award through completion.

* Coordinate materials, equipment, deliveries, subcontractors, and field requirements
* Prepare RFIs, submittals, change orders, progress reports, and project documentation
* Track field productivity, project costs, and progress

* Work closely with field operations to understand jobsite requirements
* Assist with timesheets, daily reports, and onboarding of new ironworkers
* Communicate with clients, vendors, subcontractors, and project partners
* Support multiple projects across the region as required
✅ What We're Looking For
* 1+ year of commercial construction experience

* Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications

* Structural steel experience is preferred, but not required
🎯 Why This Opportunity?
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply supporting construction projects and develop into a well-rounded Project Manager.
You'll be surrounded by experienced project and field professionals, working on real structural steel projects while gaining greater exposure to project coordination, cost control, clients, and field operations.
The company has a long-standing reputation in the Ohio market and is continuing to grow with the backing and resources of a larger steel erection organisation.
If you're an APM, Project Engineer, or construction professional looking for your next step, this could be an opportunity to build something long-term.
