Assistant Project Managers
At Commodore, our Assistant Project Managers (APMs) assist their team in running complex projects for clients in the Commercial, Corporate Interiors, Academic/Institutional, Life Sciences, Public, Retail, and Hospitality sectors. APMs report to the Project Manager and split their time between the field and the office. Hours can be early and sometimes late.
Of the many qualities that make an Assistant Project Manager successful, the most important ones are the confidence to take charge, the spirit to collaborate, and the ability to focus on the details of a project. Our most successful Assistant Project Managers have a sixth sense for anticipating risk.
Candidates must be highly organized, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to form deep, trusting relationships.
