Our client is hiring an Associate Reconstruction Project Manager (APM), a high‑potential, detail‑oriented future Project Manager to join a fast‑growing restoration and reconstruction business in New York. This is not a coordinator or admin role; it is a structured, hands‑on training and development position designed to turn strong builders and operators into full Project Managers handling complex residential and commercial reconstruction projects. You will train directly under a Senior Reconstruction Project Manager, learn the full reconstruction lifecycle end‑to‑end, and progressively take ownership of your own projects as you ramp.
This segment of the construction industry helps people and businesses rebuild after fires, floods, and major losses. Reconstruction projects are complex, multi‑trade, and highly impactful, allowing you to do real building work, manage real stakeholders, and learn to run jobs like a professional builder rather than just pushing paper.
The role functions as a builder’s apprenticeship into project management, providing hands‑on experience and progressive responsibility under senior guidance.
The career path is designed as a launchpad, moving from training and shadowing to scoped ownership of job components, then running smaller reconstruction jobs with oversight, and finally promotion to Reconstruction Project Manager based on capability, consistency, and results. High performers can advance quickly.
We seek candidates with construction, reconstruction, or trade experience, or strong field‑coordination or assistant‑PM backgrounds. Important traits include organization, follow‑through, the ability to work with subs, inspectors, clients and internal teams, a willingness to learn estimating and budgeting, and high standards for quality and professionalism.
The position requires a valid driver’s license, comfort working in the field, strong communication skills, and basic technology proficiency. Preferred qualifications include residential or commercial construction experience, familiarity with estimating tools such as Xactimate or Symbility, trade‑coordination experience, and a background in carpentry or general contracting.
If you want to build a serious career in construction and project management within a fast‑growing, high‑standard operation, we invite you to apply and discuss the opportunity further.
The base salary ranges from $50,000 to $60,000, with total compensation potential of $60,000–$90,000+ including performance incentives. As you progress toward a full Project Manager role, earnings increase through commissions and production‑based incentives, and a comprehensive benefits package is offered.
