Design. Lead. Build. Innovate.

Join One of Washington's Premier Mechanical Contractors.

At Holmberg Mechanical, we’ve been shaping the Seattle skyline since 1949—and we’re just getting started. What began as a trusted local mechanical contractor has grown into one of Washington State’s most dynamic teams. Today, we’re competing for and winning some of the most high-profile projects across the region.

We’re proud to have been named one of the Puget Sound Business Journal’s Best Places to Work and an Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Company. Our culture is collaborative, fast-paced, and built around people who take ownership and get things done.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead complex mechanical projects, develop lasting client relationships, and help our teams deliver strong results from pursuit through closeout.

What You'll Do

• Lead large, complex mechanical projects with overlapping schedules and dynamic project teams from preconstruction through turnover, while maintaining strong client relationships.

• Serve as the primary escalation point for the client and project team. Resolve scope, schedule, and cost issues, and involve company leadership when needed.

• Support annual company sales goals by developing repeat business with owners, developers, and general contractors.

• Build strong partnerships with subcontractors and suppliers and lead effective procurement and subcontracting strategies.

• Partner with estimating on project pursuits and handoffs; validate scope, labor assumptions, exclusions, and buyout targets before establishing project budgets.

• Communicate project status, financial performance, and emerging risks clearly to senior management, with recommended actions.

• Lead and develop project managers, assistant project managers, and project engineers. Assign ownership, review performance, and coach the team on financials, contracts, and project execution.

• Own project profitability and contract performance, working toward the gross margins established by management while delivering quality work and a strong client experience.

• Improve project delivery by carrying lessons learned across jobs and working with field and department leaders to improve planning, workflows, and accountability.

Day-to-Day

You will own the financial and operational performance of your projects, including:

• Develop a project-specific client strategy and maintain regular communication to support satisfaction and future opportunities.

• Own monthly cost-to-complete and labor forecasts, review committed costs and productivity with the team, and address budget risks before they become losses.

• Lead change management, including timely notices, scope documentation, pricing, and negotiation. Document and negotiate delay, disruption, and acceleration impacts.

• Develop, submit, and track billings; monitor receivables and project cash flow.

• Work with foremen and superintendents to forecast manpower needs, review production, and align staffing across projects with the schedule and budget.

• Lead timely material and equipment buyouts and manage subcontractors to control cost, schedule, quality, and risk. Track long-lead equipment, release dates, fabrication, deliveries, and site logistics.

• Direct the project team’s RFIs, submittals, and closeout deliverables. Work with VDC and the field to establish BIM coordination priorities and signoff dates that support fabrication and installation.

•Oversee a project-specific quality control program and resolve issues before they affect turnover.

• Lead commissioning, testing and balancing, owner training, and turnover planning with the field, controls contractor, and testing teams. Drive issue resolution, closeout documentation, and the transition to warranty support.

Required Qualifications

• At least 10 years of combined field and/or project management experience in the mechanical industry.

• Successful management of complex mechanical scopes over $15 million within the last five years.
