Assistant Project Manager | 200M+ Design-Build GC Job at Michael Page in Milwauk

• Fast-track to PM: Direct mentorship from WI's top construction leaders
• Join a $200M+ Design-Build powerhouse and build landmark Wisconsin projects.

About Our Client

This $200M+ Design-Build General Contractor is a dominant force in the Wisconsin market, celebrated for delivering complex industrial, healthcare, and commercial projects without the bureaucratic red tape of national mega-corps. They combine the financial muscle and advanced technology of a Tier 1 firm with the retention rates and family-oriented culture of a local business - meaning you get big-project experience, but you are treated as a future leader, not a cog in the machine.

Job Description

• Own the Documentation: drive the RFI, submittal, and change order processes with precision to keep the project moving forward.
• Manage the Money: Assist the PM in monthly pay apps, budget updates, and cost forecasting to ensure project profitability.
• Design-Build Coordination: Act as a liaison between the owner, architects, and field teams during pre-construction and construction phases to solve design clashes early.
• Schedule Control: Help build and update the master schedule (MS Project or P6), ensuring critical path milestones are hit.
• Subcontractor Leadership: Lead coordination meetings and scope reviews, holding trade partners accountable for quality and safety standards.
• Field Integration: Spend significant time on-site to bridge the gap between the trailer and the office, gaining the field respect necessary to be a future Project Manager.
