Job Description

A boutique Owner’s Rep specializing in complex, high-profile cultural projects is looking to add an Assistant Project Manager to their team. The firm partners with museums, performing arts organizations, and other cultural institutions to deliver large-scale, technically challenging projects from early planning and design through construction and completion.

Since the firm is small, junior team members receive meaningful responsibility and direct mentorship rather than being limited to a narrow scope. For someone who is technically strong, highly communicative, and genuinely passionate about the cultural and performing arts space, this offers a unique opportunity to build a long-term career on the owner’s side

The Role

Working closely with senior members of the firm, the APM will support projects throughout design and construction while coordinating with owners, architects, consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders. Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting day-to-day management of large-scale museum, performing arts, and cultural projects
• Participating in design, construction, and OAC meetings and helping drive follow-up items
• Coordinating with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and client teams
• Reviewing drawings, RFIs, submittals, change orders, schedules, and other project documentation
• Tracking project budgets, schedules, procurement items, and key milestones
• Assisting with field coordination and identifying potential construction or design issues
• Preparing meeting minutes, project reports, presentations, and client-facing materials
• Helping ensure information is communicated clearly between all members of the project team

What They’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of construction or project management experience
• Experience with a General Contractor or Construction Manager strongly preferred
• Exposure to complex institutional, cultural, commercial, or repositioning projects is a plus
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Collaborative personality with a desire to learn and take on increasing responsibility
