  • Coordinate all mechanical scopes including HVAC systems, piping, controls, and related infrastructure.
  • Lead subcontractor procurement, scope development, and contract administration.
  • Collaborate with engineering, BIM/VDC, and fabrication teams to ensure constructability and coordination.
  • Support design-build and design-assist efforts, providing input on system design, cost, and performance.
  • Work closely with field superintendents to monitor progress, productivity, and jobsite challenges.
  • Manage project documentation including RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project logs.
  • Coordinate procurement of equipment and materials to meet project schedules and budgets.
  • Identify project risks and implement solutions to maintain schedule and cost performance.
  • Lead project meetings with clients, engineers, and internal teams.
  • Oversee commissioning, system startup, and project closeout activities.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering required.
  • 5–10+ years of experience managing mechanical or HVAC construction projects.
  • Strong understanding of HVAC systems including air distribution, hydronic systems, piping, and controls.
  • Experience working for a mechanical contractor or general contractor with MEP focus.
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and technical documents.
  • Experience managing project budgets, schedules, and subcontractors.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working on large-scale commercial, industrial, or mission-critical projects such as healthcare, data centers, or manufacturing facilities.
  • Familiarity with BIM/VDC coordination, prefabrication, and integrated project delivery methods.
  • Experience with commissioning and long-term system performance considerations.
  • Proficiency with project management tools such as Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, or Primavera.
