About the role
Responsive recruiter
Benefits:
Our client is hiring an Associate Reconstruction Project Manager (APM) — a high-potential, detail-oriented future Project Manager to join a fast-growing restoration and reconstruction business based in New York.
This is not a coordinator or admin role. This is a structured, hands-on training and development position designed to turn strong builders and operators into full Project Managers running complex residential and commercial reconstruction projects.
You will train directly under a Senior Reconstruction Project Manager (based in New York), learn the full reconstruction lifecycle end-to-end, and progressively take ownership of your own projects as you ramp.
THE WHY
This is the part of the construction industry that helps people and businesses put their buildings and lives back together after fires, floods, and major losses.
Reconstruction projects are complex, multi-trade, and highly impactful. You’ll be doing real building work, managing real stakeholders, and learning how to run jobs like a professional builder — not just pushing paper.
THE WHERE
• Based in New York (NYC / Metro NY area)
• Occasional support of jobs in New Jersey (as needed)
• This is a field-forward role — job sites, walk-throughs, and in-person coordination are core to the job
THE WHO
Our client is one of the leading restoration and reconstruction companies in the country, operating in nearly 400 markets.
This New York operation is one of the larger and faster-growing markets in the system, with strong leadership, real operational scale, and a deep project pipeline.
THE ROLE – WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO
As an Associate Reconstruction Project Manager, you will:
• Train directly under a Senior Reconstruction Project Manager
• Learn how to scope, estimate, and manage reconstruction projects end-to-end
• Help build detailed scopes of work, budgets, and job schedules
• Learn sequencing of trades (demo, framing, MEP, finishes, etc.)
• Assist with bid packages, sub coordination, and scheduling
• Learn to manage change orders, supplements, and job budgets
• Maintain strong job documentation (photos, notes, daily logs, progress updates)
• Communicate professionally with homeowners, property managers, and adjusters
• Gradually take ownership of smaller reconstruction projects with supervision
• Build toward managing a full book of reconstruction work as a Project Manager
This is a builder’s apprenticeship into project management.
THE CAREER PATH
This role is designed as a launchpad:
• Phase 1: Training, shadowing, and scoped ownership of job components
• Phase 2: Running smaller reconstruction jobs with oversight
• Phase 3: Promotion to Reconstruction Project Manager based on capability, consistency, and results
High performers will move quickly.
YOUR DNA
• You care about building things correctly, not just quickly
• You are organized, methodical, and detail-oriented
• You think in sequences, dependencies, and plans
• You don’t let things fall through the cracks
• You communicate clearly and professionally
• You like being on job sites and seeing progress happen
• You take pride in ownership and accountability
• You want to grow into running big, complex jobs

• Construction, reconstruction, or trades experience (strongly preferred)
• Or strong field coordination / assistant PM / superintendent-type experience
• Strong organizational and follow-through skills
