Assistant Project Manager

Assistant Project Manager | Santa Rosa, CA | $120,000 - $150,000 + Benefits

I’m representing a growing Bay Area General Contractor with a strong project pipeline that is looking to add an Assistant Project Manager to their team for a ground-up K-12 project in Santa Rosa.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Project Manager with ground-up commercial or multifamily experience who is ready to take the next step in their career and gain exposure to managing a meaningful project while working alongside an experienced project team.

The company is financially strong, steadily growing, and focused on building long-term careers within their team. They have established a reputation for delivering high-quality projects while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. Leadership is approachable, hands-on, and committed to promoting from within.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Ground-up K-12 project with full lifecycle exposure
• Stable and growing GC with a strong Bay Area backlog
• Opportunity to work closely with experienced Project Managers and field leadership
• Collaborative leadership team with strong field support
• Clear path for growth into a Project Manager role

What They’re Looking For:

• 3–6+ years of construction experience
• Experience supporting ground-up commercial or multifamily projects
• Exposure to projects ideally $20M+
• Strong organizational and coordination skills
• Experience assisting with RFIs, submittals, project documentation, and subcontractor coordination
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to grow into a Project Manager position

K-12 or public project experience is a plus, but not required.

Compensation ranges from $120,000–$150,000 depending on experience, along with a strong benefits package and long-term career trajectory.

If you’re currently in a Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager role and looking to join a contractor with a strong pipeline and real growth opportunities, this is worth a confidential conversation.

Interviews are scheduled to take place next week so if you’re interested in hearing more about this and other roles, then please get in touch asap to discuss further at 480-818-6995 or send your resume to k.adams@locke-staffing.com
