Assistant Project Manager (CTX)

**About Patriot Erectors, LLC**

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.

We’re a people-first company built on five values we call **STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership.**

Our vision: **Recognize a Need & Fulfill It.**

**Your path to running a project starts here.**

Every great project manager started by mastering the details. As Assistant Project Manager in our Central Texas division, you’ll learn steel project delivery from proposal to closeout — with real responsibility from day one, regular time in the field, and a defined runway to running your own jobs.

Why Patriot — Not the Other Guys

**A real runway.** APM → Project Manager → Senior PM → division leadership — we promote the people who deliver.

**Dual AISC certification.** Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — one accountable team from shop drawings to topped-out steel.

**People-first, for real.** Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.

**Modern tools, not spreadsheets.** Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, FabSuite — we invest in the stack.

**A name that opens doors.** 30+ years of quality, safety, and pride in every project.
