This Opportunity
WSP currently has an Assistant Project Manager career opportunity to support our remote Applied Solutions practice, which provides project management, construction management, and project controls support for environmental engineering and construction projects. This full-time position can be located anywhere in the United States.
The full-time Assistant Project Manager will work closely with a Project Manager to execute commercial and federal projects primarily focused on environmental, sustainable, and remediation efforts. This position will provide exposure to various delivery models, such as engineering-procurement-construction-management (EPCM), engineering-procurement-construction (EPC), design-build, and design-bid-build.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in taking the next step in their career – and open to those looking to transition away from a technical role. We are dedicated to helping individuals grow and will provide strong mentorship to allow you to develop your project management skills. We’d love you to join our team of friendly, hard-working, dedicated, and collaborative professionals.
