Assistant Project Manager
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Ready to Make Your Mark on One of Atlantic Canada's Most Exciting Development Projects?
This is your opportunity to be part of a landmark master-planned community that will redefine the Halifax skyline and shape the future of the region for decades to come.
We're seeking an ambitious Assistant Project Manager to join a growing development and construction team delivering a multi-phased, mixed-use development featuring high-rise residential towers, luxury hospitality, premium commercial space, and vibrant public realm amenities.
Whether you're already in Halifax, looking to return home to the East Coast, or seeking a better quality of life while advancing your career, this is a rare opportunity to join a company where your contributions will be visible, valued, and impactful.
About the Company
Our client is a well-capitalized, family office-backed developer headquartered in Halifax. With a reputation for excellence, long-term vision, and entrepreneurial decision-making, the organization is entering a significant growth phase with an impressive pipeline of transformative projects across the region.
Unlike larger corporate environments where individuals can become lost in the hierarchy, this team offers the opportunity to work closely with experienced leaders, gain exposure to all aspects of development and construction, and play a meaningful role in shaping major projects from the ground up.
The Opportunity
This role is ideal for:
- A Project Coordinator looking to take the next step into project management.
- An Assistant Project Manager seeking greater exposure, responsibility, and career progression.
- A construction or development professional who wants to be part of something significant rather than simply managing another project.
You will work alongside senior development and construction leaders, supporting the planning, coordination, execution, and delivery of large-scale projects from pre-construction through completion.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in the planning, coordination, and execution of major development and construction projects.
- Support project schedules, budgets, reporting, and risk management initiatives.
- Coordinate consultants, contractors, architects, engineers, and project stakeholders.
- Track project milestones, approvals, and deliverables.
- Participate in project meetings and contribute to decision-making processes.
- Assist with procurement, tendering, contract administration, and change management.
- Monitor project progress and support the successful delivery of key project objectives.
- Ensure project documentation is accurate, organized, and maintained.
What We're Looking For
- Experience as a Project Coordinator, Assistant Project Manager, or similar role within development, construction, or project management.
- Exposure to large-scale residential, commercial, mixed-use, hospitality, or master-planned developments.
- Strong organizational and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced environment.
- A collaborative mindset and genuine desire to learn and grow.
- Degree, diploma, or related education in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Planning, or a related field is considered an asset.
Why Consider Halifax?
- One of Canada's fastest-growing cities.
- Exceptional quality of life and affordability compared to larger metropolitan markets.
- Stunning coastline, outdoor lifestyle, and vibrant cultural scene.
- Growing economy and unprecedented development activity.
- The opportunity to build your career while enjoying a better work-life balance.
If you're looking for a career-defining opportunity where your work will leave a lasting legacy on a city, we'd love to hear from you.
