We've completed over 200+ units spanning apartment complexes, condominium associations, retail buildings, and office spaces, each with a sharp focus on quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction.

Heron Wolf
Assistant project manager job in New York, NY
$185k-$220k | ProjectManager - Public & Transit Construction | Fully Paid Health Insurance | Pension or 401k (Grows Regardless of Contribution) | Office in Manhattan (Grand Central)
Benefits that support real life:
100% employer-paid health insurance
Pension or 401k that grows regardless of your contribution
Clear promotion pathways without time-based barriers
A centrally located Manhattan office near Grand Central
This is for PMs who are tired of waiting their turn: If you're being honest with yourself, you probably know whether you're ready for more responsibility.
What usually gets in the way isn't capability it's things like promotion timelines that have nothing to do with performance or check boxes that exist only because “that's how it's done”. The age old one is offices that say they value growth but can't explain how it actually happens...
This role exists because this firm promotes when you're ready, not when a calendar says so.
PMs leave larger firms for this team: We hear the same frustration again and again from ProjectManagers at big contractors: You deliver, you keep projects moving, you take ownership when things get hard. But advancement still comes down to headcount, politics, or tenure.
This firm does it differently. If you can handle more, you're given more, quickly and intentionally.
This is a public and transit-focused contractor delivering complex work across New York. They operate with the scale and sophistication to deliver serious infrastructure projects, but without the bureaucracy that slows decision-making and stalls careers.
They've invested in a Manhattan office near Grand Central, making day-to-day work genuinely convenient rather than another grind.
This isn't “we'll see how it goes”, they run bi-yearly evaluations, aligned directly to
your
goals:
What you want to learn
Where you want to progress
What you need exposure to next
Those reviews aren't performance theatre. They're used to actively map your next step, whether that's bigger projects, more autonomy, or leadership responsibility. If you can handle it, you'll move. No waiting. No artificial gates.
You'll manage public and transit construction projects, working with teams that value collaboration over competition. You're supported, trusted, and held accountable, without being micromanaged.
This is a firm that understands careers don't exist in isolation from life. We think it best suits ProjectManagers in public or transit construction who are stuck behind artificial promotion timelines but want to grow as fast as their ability allows.
If you're ambitious, capable, and frustrated by waiting, this is worth your attention.
Apply if you're ready to move. Reach out if you want an honest conversation first.
