Onsite Project Manager

This role lives at the intersection of construction knowledge and field coordination. The Onsite Project Manager at Asset Living's Omaha location needs to read plans, hold subcontractors accountable, and keep a renovation schedule moving, all at the same time. If those three things feel natural to you, read on.

What This Role Calls On Daily

The core skills here are schedule management, vendor coordination, and quality control. You'll interpret project plans and specifications, track construction progress against contract documents, and compile submittals for the Senior Construction Project Manager's review. You're not just walking the site, you're the person who catches deviations before they become expensive problems.

Subcontractor management takes up a meaningful chunk of your time. That means reviewing proposals, confirming contract compliance, and coordinating work sequencing so trades aren't stacking on top of each other. Strong written and verbal communication is non-negotiable since you're the daily point of contact between the field and the broader project team.

Multifamily renovation experience is a genuine advantage here. Understanding how an occupied or recently vacated unit moves through a make-ready or full rehab cycle, and what quality benchmarks matter at each stage, lets you set expectations with subs rather than just report on what they did.

Qualifications Worth Highlighting

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) or Accredited Resident Manager (ARM) designation preferred
• Previous multifamily renovation supervision experience strongly preferred
• Ability to read and interpret project plans and specifications
• Comfortable with independent judgment and real-time problem solving on-site
• Basic computer skills and familiarity with project or property management software
• Willingness to travel and flexibility with hours when deadlines require it
• Ability to lift up to 25 pounds; regular standing, walking, and physical presence on the job site

Why This Role at Asset Living

Asset Living is a third-party management firm ranked in the NMHC top 50, with a portfolio spanning multifamily, build-to-rent, affordable housing, and student housing. The Onsite Project Manager reports directly to a Senior Construction Project Manager, which means you get structure and a clear escalation path, but you're expected to own the day-to-day without hand-holding.

One thing candidates often underestimate about this type of role: the documentation discipline matters as much as the field presence. Submittals, schedule updates, and quality control records are how you demonstrate that work conforms to contract. Candidates who treat paperwork as secondary to "getting things done" tend to struggle. The ones who thrive treat both as the same job.
