Assistant Project Manager
LMJ Management & Construction Inc.

 

“Michelle Roveto brings strong initiative and consistency to her role at LMJ Management & Construction as an assistant project manager. She takes ownership of her work and approaches complex projects with confidence and attention to detail. She also leads all training for incoming APMs, reflecting the confidence the firm has in her abilities. Her steady growth, strong work ethic, and professionalism clearly set her apart as a Rising Star within the firm.” 

What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of?

My proudest achievement at LMJ is my work on the Ares project, the largest contract our firm has ever secured. When you break it down, it is essentially four distinct projects of the exact same high complexity, all launching simultaneously. Successfully balancing the demands of these concurrent projects has been a major milestone in my career and has allowed me to showcase my growth and capabilities as an assistant project manager.

Who has been a mentor or influential figure in your career, and what is the most valuable advice they have shared with you?

Josh Seiden, our CEO, has been an invaluable mentor to me at LMJ. The best advice he has given me is “don’t be afraid to ask the question.” In the construction industry, clarity and precision are everything. Embracing this proactive mindset has fueled my professional curiosity, allowed me to gain a deep understanding of our operations, and has enabled me to master complex concepts quickly, collaborate effectively with our project teams, and continuously accelerate my growth.
