Assistant Project Manager - WSP USA

This Opportunity

WSP currently has an Assistant Project Manager career opportunity to support our remote Applied Solutions practice, which provides project management, construction management, and project controls support for environmental engineering and construction projects. This full-time position can be located anywhere in the United States.

The full-time Assistant Project Manager will work closely with a Project Manager to execute commercial and federal projects primarily focused on environmental, sustainable, and remediation efforts. This position will provide exposure to various delivery models, such as engineering-procurement-construction-management (EPCM), engineering-procurement-construction (EPC), design-build, and design-bid-build.

We’d love you to join our team of friendly, hard-working, dedicated, and collaborative professionals.
