About the Job

Brookwood Group is a boutique owner's representative and program management firm with roots tracing back to 1945. We manage programs across healthcare, education, government, and commercial sectors—always exclusively on the owner's side of the table. We're growing, and we're looking for early-career professionals who want to learn owner's representation from the ground up.

We are seeking an Assistant Project Manager to support project delivery on active new school construction, renovations, additions, athletic facilities, and bond-funded capital improvement programs. You'll work alongside senior project managers, learning how to represent school districts, public school administrators, and education boards while taking on increasing responsibility for day-to-day project coordination. This isn't a role where you'll be buried in paperwork—you'll be on job sites, in meetings, and directly involved in keeping projects on track. We welcome candidates from any U.S. location who are willing to travel to project sites as assignments require.

If you've got a couple years of construction experience and want to build a career on the owner's side of the table, this is your opportunity to grow with a firm that will invest in your development.

Key Responsibilities

• Support senior project managers in the day-to-day coordination of construction projects on behalf of the owner.

• Track and process RFIs, submittals, and change orders—ensuring timely responses and accurate documentation.

• Attend project meetings, prepare meeting minutes, and follow up on action items.

• Monitor project schedules and budgets, flagging variances to senior team members.

• Coordinate with contractors, architects, and consultants to resolve day-to-day issues.

• Assist with regulatory submittals and track approval status related to state education department requirements, local school district standards, and applicable state construction oversight agencies.

• Prepare status reports, progress photos, and other project documentation.

• Support punch list coordination, closeout documentation, and warranty tracking.

Requirements

• 2-4 years of experience in construction project management, field engineering, or project coordination.

• Basic understanding of construction contracts, drawings, and specifications.

• Proficiency with project management software (Procore, e-Builder, or similar) and MS Office/Bluebeam.
