Assistant Project Manager Jobs in Washington, DC at Hays

Title: Assistant Project Manager

Company: Hays

Location: Washington, DC

We’re partnered with a top-tier GC known for delivering $80M–$200M ground-up multifamily projects—and they’re bringing in APM-level talent with a goal of elevating them into PMs within 12–24 months. This role is open to current Project Engineers looking for promotion to an APM role. Or a current APM that is focused on delivering excellent results and seeking elevation. Projects inside the beltway in VA and DC.

Why this stands out:

  • You’re not stuck supporting forever—this is a clear, structured path to PM
  • Work on high-rise, complex multifamily projects that actually build your resume
  • Get involved early (precon) through delivery, not just execution
  • Strong backlog = consistent projects, long-term growth, and stability

The role:

You’ll be in the middle of the action—working alongside experienced PMs and field leadership, while stepping into real ownership across:

  • Subcontractor coordination and buyout
  • Budgets, cost control, and forecasting
  • RFIs, submittals, and change management
  • Client and team meetings
  • Supporting field operations on large, active job sites

This is the kind of seat where you accelerate quickly because you’re trusted with more.

Who this fits:

  • APMs / Jr PMs with 5+ years in commercial construction
  • Experience on multifamily (preferred) or other large ground-up builds
  • Someone who wants to step into PM—not wait years for it
  • Comfortable owning more, moving faster, and working in a high-performance team

What’s on the table:

  • $85K–$115K base + bonus
  • 100% covered healthcare (including family)
  • 401k match + strong benefits
  • 3 weeks PTO + 10 holidays
  • Tuition support + ongoing development
  • Defined promotion to Project Manager in 1–2 years
