We are looking for a dependable, organized Assistant Project Manager / Assistant Superintendent with hands-on knowledge of cabinetry, millwork, and general construction.
This is a hybrid office-and-field position. The right person needs to be comfortable working on a computer and managing project information, but also needs enough real-world construction knowledge to understand what is happening in the field, identify problems, and communicate effectively with installers, subcontractors, general contractors, vendors, and customers.
This is not strictly an office position. We are looking for someone who understands how construction actually goes together and, ideally, has strong experience with cabinets, millwork, or finish carpentry.
Responsibilities
- Assist Project Managers and Superintendents with day-to-day project coordination
- Review plans, drawings, specifications, cabinet layouts, and project documents
- Coordinate cabinetry/millwork production, delivery, installation, and jobsite requirements
- Perform field measurements and verify site conditions
- Communicate with general contractors, superintendents, installers, vendors, and customers
- Track project schedules, deadlines, materials, deliveries, and outstanding items
- Help identify and resolve field conflicts before they become larger problems
- Document jobsite conditions, changes, punch-list items, and project progress
- Assist with RFIs, change orders, submittals, purchase orders, and other project documentation
- Maintain organized electronic project files and correspondence
- Attend jobsite and project coordination meetings as needed
- Help ensure installations meet plans, specifications, quality standards, and schedule requirements
- Follow projects through completion and punch-list closeout
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Strong working knowledge of cabinets, millwork, finish carpentry, and/or general construction
- Ability to read and understand construction plans and drawings
- Comfortable using computers, email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and project-management software
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities at the same time
- Ability to communicate professionally with field personnel, contractors, vendors, and customers
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel to jobsites throughout the Phoenix metro area
- Willingness to work both in the office and in the field
Preferred:
- Previous experience as an Assistant Project Manager, Project Coordinator, Assistant Superintendent, Foreman, Cabinet Installer, or similar construction position
- Commercial or residential cabinet/millwork experience
- Experience coordinating cabinet or millwork installations
- Experience with construction project-management software
- Experience with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Bluebeam, Procore, or similar programs
- Understanding of scheduling, purchasing, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and punch lists
The Person We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who can bridge the gap between the office and the field.
You should be comfortable sitting at a computer reviewing drawings, sending emails, updating schedules, and tracking project details—but you should also be able to walk onto a jobsite, look at a cabinet installation or construction condition, understand what you're seeing, and help determine what needs to happen next.
You don't need to know everything on day one, but you do need a solid construction foundation, good judgment, and a willingness to learn.
Pay: $52,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- 401(k) matching
- Dental insurance
- Health insurance
- Life insurance
- Paid time off
- Vision insurance
Work Location: In person

Assistant Construction Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a assistant construction manager in Arizona?
Most Arizona employers expect a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, though some accept equivalent field experience. Arizona does not require a state-issued license specifically for assistant construction managers, but holding an OSHA 30-Hour certification and pursuing the Associate Constructor credential through the American Institute of Constructors strengthens a candidacy considerably. Many Arizona firms also value experience with Procore and familiarity with local building codes administered through city and county permitting offices.
Which companies hire assistant construction managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring assistant construction managers in Arizona right now include KSI, 2000 Gold, and Meritage Homes, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's sustained population growth and large-scale master-planned community development keep a wide range of general contractors and construction management firms actively recruiting at the assistant level.
Which Arizona cities have the most assistant construction manager jobs?
Phoenix, Tempe, and Chandler hold the most assistant construction manager openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates because it anchors the Valley's commercial, multifamily, and infrastructure boom, while Tucson draws activity from healthcare facility expansion and university-adjacent development, and Scottsdale concentrates high-end commercial and resort construction that keeps mid-sized contractors staffed year-round.
Are there remote assistant construction manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of assistant construction manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how heavily the role depends on jobsite presence for daily coordination with crews and subcontractors. The portions most likely to be handled off-site are submittal review, scheduling updates, and document management rather than active field oversight.
How can I get hired as a assistant construction manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a project engineer or construction coordinator role with a mid-size Arizona general contractor, where daily exposure to scheduling, submittals, and subcontractor coordination builds the foundation for promotion. Firms like Sundt Construction and Kitchell run structured intern-to-hire pipelines that routinely convert recent graduates. Completing an OSHA 30-Hour course and earning the Associate Constructor credential before applying gives candidates a measurable edge, and community college construction technology programs in the Phoenix area offer hands-on coursework that large local contractors recognize.
Where can I find and apply to assistant construction manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to assistant construction manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across general contractors, construction management firms, and owner-representative organizations. Find roles that match your experience and specialty, then apply directly to the employer through each listing.
