Fast-growing Santa Monica based commercial general contractor building for aerospace, restaurant, and retail clients across LA’s Westside is hiring one person for a rare seat: assistant construction manager working side by side with the owner, a senior project manager with deep roots in the trades.
This is not a desk job and it’s not a laborer position. It’s the fast track to learning how commercial jobs actually get run: bids, budgets, crews, clients, inspections, all of it, learned shoulder to shoulder with the person running the company. Great opportunity for the right person.
Absolute musts:
On time, every time
Responsible. Your word means something
Great attitude. Non-negotiable
What you’ll do:
Morning site check-ins across active jobs, crews confirmed and moving by 7:30
Daily logs, progress photos, and field documentation
Coordinate crew schedules, deliveries, and material runs
Help screen, try out, and build our field team
Sit in on client walks, estimates, and proposals as you grow into them
Who we want:
Not a clock watcher. You want a career in construction management, not a shift
Some construction, trades, or field experience preferred; hunger and reliability matter more
Organized, strong communicator, comfortable with a smartphone and photo apps
Bilingual a plus
Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle
Must have legal working status with documentation verified
Must be comfortable around a large dog. Our office German Shepherd is sweet but will bring you a ball
Schedule and pay:
Start at 3 days per week, $25/hr
Fast pay raises for someone who learns quick and produces, plus project bonuses
Right fit grows into full time
What you get:
Direct mentorship from the owner/senior PM. No layers, no bureaucracy
Real responsibility fast. Perform and you’ll be helping run commercial projects, not fetching coffee
Room to grow with a company that’s scaling
Reply with a few lines about yourself, your experience, and why this role fits you. Start soon.
