Assistant Construction Manager

LVI Associates, Dallas, TX, United States


Assistant Construction Manager - Mission Critical & Data Center Projects
We’re partnered with a leading, employee‑owned EPC firm that specializes in delivering mission‑critical and highly technical facilities, including large‑scale data centers and critical infrastructure environments.

They are looking to add an Assistant Construction Manager to support the execution of complex, fast‑paced projects where uptime, safety, precision, and schedule certainty are non‑negotiable.

This is a strong opportunity for a construction professional who wants deep exposure to data center builds, critical systems, and best‑in‑class EPC delivery.

The Role
You’ll support senior Construction and Project leadership across the full lifecycle of mission‑critical construction projects, from pre‑construction planning through commissioning, turnover, and close‑out.

Working closely with Construction Managers, Project Managers, Site Managers, and EPC Program Managers, you’ll gain hands‑on experience in environments involving critical power, redundancy, sequencing, and highly coordinated trade execution.

Key Responsibilities

Support day‑to‑day execution of safety, quality, schedule, and cost control on mission‑critical sites

Assist with implementation of Project Execution Plans, QA/QC plans, and site‑specific Safety & Health Plans

Support subcontractor coordination, RFPs, bid packages, pre‑qualification, and contract administration

Assist with RFIs, submittals, drawing releases, design changes, and change management

Help coordinate site mobilization/demobilization and logistics in live or high‑security environments

Support cost reporting, schedule tracking, earned value, and cash‑flow analysis

Assist with commissioning support, turnover documentation, warranties, and close‑out activities

Collaborate with Superintendents and Site Managers to ensure subcontractor compliance with strict safety, quality, and schedule requirements

Support materials management, equipment coordination, and inventory control

Help analyze labor productivity, crew rates, unit rates, and labor burdens specific to mission‑critical delivery

Assist with onboarding and coordination of field supervision and craft labor

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

3+ years of construction or project delivery experience

Exposure to data centers, critical facilities, industrial, power, or technical infrastructure is strongly preferred

Strong organizational skills and ability to work in fast‑paced, schedule‑driven environments

Proficient in Microsoft Office; experience with scheduling, cost control, or construction management software preferred

Excellent communication skills and high attention to detail

Basic understanding of construction cost controls and GAAP fundamentals

Willingness to be site‑based as required by project demands

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

100% employee‑owned EPC firm - employees directly benefit from company performance

Industry leader in mission‑critical and data center delivery

Exposure to large‑scale, technically complex builds with repeat hyperscale clients

Strong investment in training, mentorship, and long‑term career development

Known for low turnover, long project backlogs, and internal promotion

Clear progression path toward Construction Manager or Project Manager roles
