    Project Manager Assistant, New Homes

    Project Manager Assistant (Field-Based / Jobsite Role)
    Garman is seeking a Project Manager Assistant to support the successful construction of our homes in the field. This is a hands-on, jobsite-based position — not a desk role — focused on supporting Project Managers and Construction Managers with day-to-day construction tasks, quality checks, jobsite readiness, and operational execution.

    In this role, you’ll work directly on active jobsites to help ensure homes are built to Garman’s standards for quality, schedule, safety, and customer experience. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys physical work, takes pride in craftsmanship, and wants to grow into a Project Manager role over time.

    What You’ll Do
    •    Support the construction of assigned homes and communities through hands-on field work and jobsite coordination.
    •    Assist with carpentry, framing, finishing, excavation, backfilling, and general construction tasks as directed.
    •    Help maintain quality standards through jobsite inspections, QA checks, punch list completion, and work order follow-up.
    •    Read and follow blueprints, specifications, and schedules to support accurate and timely execution.
    •    Perform First Time Quality work and assist with warranty service as needed.
    •    Help keep jobsites safe, organized, professional, and ready for the next phase of construction.
    •    Support Project Managers, Trade Partners, and team members through clear communication, accountability, and dependable execution.

    What We’re Looking For
    •    1–3 years of residential construction or carpentry experience preferred.
    •    Working knowledge of construction methods, materials, tools, and jobsite safety.
    •    Ability to read blueprints and use common construction hand and power tools.
    •    Strong work ethic, attention to detail, reliability, and professionalism.
    •    Valid PA driver’s license, reliable transportation, and ability to work actively in the field, including lifting, climbing, and navigating active jobsites.

    The Project Manager Assistant plays an important role in helping Garman deliver homes that meet our quality and brand standards while creating a positive experience for homeowners. This position also provides hands-on development for individuals who are ready to grow into greater field leadership responsibilities.
