Minneapolis’s construction sector is experiencing steady growth across commercial office, multifamily residential, and civic infrastructure projects. Amundson Group places Assistant Project Managers throughout Minnesota’s competitive building environment, connecting qualified candidates with established contractors who need reliable project support.
What Amundson Group does for Assistant Project Manager hiring in Minneapolis
Amundson Group uses a retained search model to identify and vet Assistant Project Manager candidates for Minneapolis-area general contractors, specialty trades, and project management firms. Unlike transactional recruiting, we invest time in understanding your project types, company culture, and growth trajectory, then conduct a custom, AI-assisted screening process to surface candidates who can step into the role and grow with your firm.
Our vetting goes beyond resumes. We evaluate technical knowledge (scheduling software, document control, site coordination), soft skills (communication with trades and owners), and trajectory. We’ve built a long-term referral network across Minnesota’s construction ecosystem, so many of our best candidates come through trusted relationships rather than job boards alone.
Assistant Project Manager roles in Minneapolis typically offer a base salary in the $85,000, $120,000 range, depending on experience level, firm size, and project portfolio. Entry-level APMs or those transitioning from field roles land near the lower end; candidates with 3-5 years of direct construction PM support and a track record of managing schedules, submittals, and RFIs command the higher range. We publish quarterly salary data across construction roles at amundsongroup.com/salary-guide/ to keep both employers and candidates informed.
Minneapolis’s construction market, what’s driving demand for Assistant Project Managers
Minneapolis has a diversified, resilient construction sector anchored by commercial development, multifamily housing, and public infrastructure investment. The city attracts national and regional builders, and growing local firms, who rely on Assistant Project Managers to bridge the gap between superintendents, project managers, and office staff. Strong project controls are critical in Minnesota’s climate-driven construction timeline, where winter shutdowns and weather delays require tight coordination.
Demand for APM talent remains strong because the role is a pipeline: many firms develop APMs into full Project Managers or Superintendents. Turnover is steady, and firms competing for top talent invest in structured PM training. Additionally, Minnesota’s civil and commercial sectors are healthy, meaning more simultaneous projects and more need for project support staff.
The city’s multifamily and commercial office sectors have matured considerably, and the region’s industrial and manufacturing facility construction adds another source of opportunity. All of these verticals need organized, detail-oriented APMs who can manage documents, coordinate trades, and communicate across a jobsite.
