The **Assistant Project Manager **is part of all aspects of a project, from pre-construction through project closeout and actively supports the project team. The APM takes direction but is comfortable acting independently to ensure project success. Having an expert understanding of the scope and the project status, the APM ensures the details are followed up on. The APM enables the PM and the Field through contributions and ownership of their roles and responsibilities.
