About the Role
Van Acker Construction is hiring an Assistant Project Manager (APM) to support the financial and administrative backbone of one to two large residential projects at a time.

You'll report to a Project Manager who expects sound judgment, high standards, and independent follow-through. The successful APM enjoys a challenge and is committed to communication, collaboration, a great attitude, and patience.

This is an in-person role, five days a week, out of our Mill Valley office. We don't offer remote or hybrid arrangements.
