Job Description

Concrete Assistant Project Manager– Ames, IA | Aurum Construction

If concrete is your love language, we should probably talk.

Aurum Construction is expanding across the Midwest, and we’re looking for a Concrete Assistant Project Manager to help lead our growing portfolio of work in the greater Des Moines area. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving big challenges, and love taking concrete projects from concept to completion, this role is right up your alley.

We’re looking for someone who knows their way around structural concrete, flatwork, tilt-wall, foundations, or self-perform operations — and who can lead both in the field and in the office. If you’re the person people call when something needs to get done (and done well), we want to meet you.
