Build the Infrastructure. Build Yourself.
Brooklyn, NY | Full-Time | $50,000–$65,000 | Entry-Level w/ Leadership Track
Some people build resumes.
At Delphi, we build the people who build this city.
We’re not just a construction firm—we’re a mission-driven team building public infrastructure across New York City. From water mains to mechanical systems, we’re the ones who show up when the job is tough, the specs are unclear, and the city’s counting on someone to figure it out.
This role isn’t for spectators. It’s for future leaders who want to start at the foundation and earn their way to the top.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is a high-growth, hands-on learning role that starts with supporting real projects—and grows as fast as you do.
You’ll:
- Track project documents, RFIs, submittals, delivery logs, and field notes
- Shadow Project Managers and Superintendents to learn job flow, buyouts, and problem solving
- Coordinate with vendors and field teams to remove roadblocks
- Assist with material tracking, takeoffs, schedules, and basic plan reading
- Help manage punchlists, requisitions, and closeout paperwork
- Organize internal systems and keep job info moving on time
What You’re Really Signing Up For
We’re hiring you to grow into something bigger.
The title says “Associate.” The path says:
- - Assistant Project Manager
- - Junior Estimator
- - Field Operations Lead
- - Procurement & Project Controls
But nothing is given. Everything is earned.
Who We’re Looking For
You might be:
- A military vet who knows how to follow through
- A tradesperson who wants to move inside the trailer
- A recent grad or career-changer who can outwork anyone
- An operations assistant or admin tired of being boxed in
Regardless, you:
- Are humble, gritty, and sharp
- Communicate clearly
- Show up early and ready to go
- Don’t wait to be told—you take the hill
- Understand that character beats credentials
Who We Are
Delphi is a fast-growing public works contractor focused on heavy mechanical infrastructure across New York City. We run lean, push hard, and believe in ownership at every level. Our culture is blue-collar serious with white-collar systems.
