Intern Entry Level Project Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Entry-Level Project Manager

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for construction and a desire to start a meaningful career? Our client, a well-established company in the Buffalo area specializing in mechanical projects, is seeking an Entry-Level Project Manager to join their growing team. This full-time, on-site role offers $50,000–$55,000 annually and is perfect for someone who wants hands-on experience, exposure to real mechanical construction work, and a long-term career path.

As an Entry-Level Project Manager, you'll be introduced to both the administrative and field sides of the work — learning how bids come together, how projects move from planning to execution, and how to support a project team from start to finish. This role is designed for someone at the beginning of their Project Management career, who brings a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine interest in construction management. If you're looking for a role where you can learn, grow, and eventually manage projects independently, this Entry-Level Project Manager opportunity is a fantastic starting point.

The team is committed to developing someone who wants to stay, advance, and build a meaningful career within the organization. If you're reliable, eager to learn, and ready to jump in, they'll invest heavily in your training and mentorship.
