Construction Project Assistant

We are subcontractor seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Construction Project Assistant to support our project manager(s). This is not a general virtual assistant position—we are looking for someone with a background in commercial construction who understands construction documents, project workflows, and technical terminology. Your primary responsibilities will include organizing and managing a busy Outlook inbox, prioritizing emails, drafting professional responses, maintaining project documentation, tracking RFIs, submittals, change orders, purchase orders, and following up with vendors. You'll also review shop drawings and structural plans for completeness, organize project files, and prepare daily summaries of items requiring attention. The ideal candidate has experience supporting Project Managers or Construction Managers, is familiar with structural steel or metal deck projects, and understands how commercial construction projects are managed. Experience with Bluebeam, Procore, Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and document control is highly preferred. We are looking for someone who is proactive, highly organized, communicates clearly in English, and can work independently while knowing when to escalate technical or contractual issues. Our goal is to build a long-term working relationship with someone who can become an integral part of our project management team by improving organization, communication, and overall project efficiency.
