Location: Nashville, TN  

Full-time, Onsite 

Learn from the best. Build your own path.

Our Assistant Project Managers are hands-on members of the project team. They run their own smaller projects or key parts of larger ones, and they learn directly from experienced PMs and Superintendents. If you're organized, detail-driven and ready to grow your construction career, we'd like to talk with you.

Who Are We? Crain Construction is a trusted, well-established commercial general contractor based in Nashville. In more than 90 years of business, we've built thousands of structures throughout Middle Tennessee and the Southeast. We can build almost anything, but we specialize in commercial projects, including ground-up construction, renovations, multi-story hospitality, retail, industrial, healthcare, education and multi-use structures.

At Crain, we value teamwork, flexibility and transparency. Our mission is to build relationships and structures that last a lifetime!
