The Opportunity

Our Land Development team is hiring! Our team has a variety of projects– with local and national homebuilders and developers, to commercial projects under 1-acre to 100s of acres (industrial, retail, multifamily, etc.) Our staff also receives training in all facets of project design: site design, grading, stormwater management, utility design, and more.

The Assistant Project Manager position is an opportunity to work directly with clients and the other project disciplines by assisting an experienced Project Manager. This role also receives mentoring on management tasks: navigating entitlements, client interactions, marketing/business development, scheduling, invoicing, development of budgets, and more.

You will have an opportunity to continue to strengthen your design experience while gaining new management experience. You'll work on challenging projects – learning to navigate the entitlement and design processes on large-scale multiphase developments.
