Junior Construction Project Manager

Hospitality Renovation & Construction

Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico | Home Base
Travel: Regional Travel Required

Build Projects. Build Relationships. Build Your Career.

Kassam Construction is looking for an ambitious Junior Construction Project Manager who is ready to grow into a strong construction leader.

This role is built for someone early in their construction career who has a solid foundation and is ready for the next step. You may be a Project Engineer, Foreman, Assistant Superintendent, Field Engineer, or a construction management graduate with hands-on experience who wants to move into project management.

You won't be expected to know everything on day one.

You'll work alongside experienced construction professionals while gaining hands-on experience managing hotel renovations, property improvements, and construction projects throughout the region. You'll learn how to manage schedules, budgets, subcontractors, procurement, quality, safety, and client relationships while taking on more responsibility as you grow.

At Kassam Construction, we believe great projects start with great people. Our culture is built around CARE: Compassionate, Authentic, Respectful, and Empathetic.

If you're organized, driven, willing to travel, comfortable on a jobsite, and the kind of person who sees a problem and works to solve it, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

You'll support projects from pre-construction through closeout, working both in the field and on the project-management side of the business.

Project Coordination & Execution

• Assist with project planning, schedules, milestones, and day-to-day execution
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, materials, equipment, and deliveries
• Track project progress and help identify potential schedule issues
• Participate in project meetings and communicate updates to the project team
• Help keep projects organized, documented, and moving forward

Field Operations & Safety

• Support daily jobsite operations and subcontractor coordination
• Help maintain safe, clean, and organized jobsites
• Participate in safety meetings, inspections, and daily planning
• Help ensure work follows company safety standards, OSHA requirements, plans, specifications, and applicable codes
• Work closely with field teams to resolve issues as they arise

Budget & Cost Management

• Assist with project budgets and cost tracking
• Review invoices, expenses, and project commitments
• Assist with change orders, contracts, and project cost documentation
• Learn how project decisions affect budget and overall financial performance

Quality & Problem Solving

• Perform jobsite walks and help identify quality or coordination issues
• Document deficiencies and follow through until corrections are completed
• Identify potential problems before they affect schedule, cost, or quality
• Work with project teams and subcontractors to develop practical solutions
• Take ownership of assigned responsibilities and follow through

Communication & Documentation

• Maintain accurate project records and documentation
• Communicate professionally with clients, subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams
• Assist with RFIs, submittals, change documentation, meeting notes, and closeout documents
• Build strong working relationships with everyone involved in the project

What We're Looking For

We're more interested in drive, construction knowledge, accountability, and potential than an impressive job title.

A strong candidate will have:

• 2+ years of construction experience and/or education in Construction Management or a related field
• Experience as a Project Engineer, Foreman, Assistant Superintendent, Field Engineer, or similar construction role is a plus
• Basic knowledge of construction methods, building systems, plans, and jobsite safety
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and follow through on commitments
• A practical, solutions-oriented approach to problems
• Confidence working with subcontractors, vendors, field personnel, and project teams
• Willingness and ability to travel regionally for projects
• Interest in learning construction technology such as Procore, Bluebeam, scheduling, and project-management software
• A professional attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to take on increasing responsibility

Hospitality construction experience is a plus, but it's not required. We're willing to teach the right person who brings a strong construction foundation and the desire to learn.

Why Kassam Construction?

This isn't a position where you'll sit on the sidelines.

You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced construction professionals, spend time in the field, learn how projects are managed from start to finish, and gradually take ownership of larger responsibilities.

Our goal is to help the right person develop into a confident, capable Construction Project Manager.

At Kassam Construction, we operate around CARE:

Compassionate. Authentic. Respectful. Empathetic.

That means accountability without ego, teamwork instead of blame, respect for the people doing the work, and pride in delivering spaces our clients and their guests can be proud of.

Hospitality is about creating a home away from home. We believe the way we build those spaces should reflect the same level of care.

Ready for Your Next Step?

If you've built a foundation in construction and you're ready to move toward project management, we'd like to meet you.

Bring your work ethic. Bring your curiosity. Bring your willingness to learn. We'll give you the opportunity to grow.

Build your career. Build great projects. Build with Kassam Construction.
