Project Assistant

About the Role

DASH is seeking a remote Project Coordinator with experience working for a general contractor in New York City. The experience may be fully remote as long as the candidate has worked on NYC-based residential construction projects and understands the dynamics of that environment. The ideal candidate is familiar with construction workflows and has experience collaborating with general contractors, subcontractors, designers, architects, and clients. An understanding of NYC residential construction processes is essential. Experience working with interior designers or on design-build projects is a strong plus.

This role is fully remote but requires familiarity with NYC project standards, timelines, and documentation. Ongoing communication with NYC-based subcontractors, clients, and vendors will be part of daily responsibilities.

In addition to construction and design coordination, the Project Coordinator will also assist DASH's Director of Business Development with critical tasks and operational initiatives that support company growth.
