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.
