Advisory Services Manager

The Assistant Project Manager II supports the successful delivery of restoration, environmental, engineering, and construction projects by turning project plans into organized, measurable action. You will own defined project workstreams, maintain project controls, coordinate with internal and external partners, and help identify issues before they affect scope, schedule, budget, or quality.

At RES, project teams work across disciplines to deliver practical solutions that restore ecosystems and create lasting value for clients and communities. The APM II contributes by bringing structure, follow-through, and sound judgment to day-to-day project execution while continuing to grow toward full project management responsibility.
