We are representing a highly respected mechanical contractor in the Southeast that is expanding its retrofit and commercial services division. Our client is seeking a Mechanical Retrofit Superintendent to lead field execution of commercial retrofit and service-driven projects across the region.

This role is ideal for a hands-on mechanical leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands commercial HVAC and mechanical systems, and excels at coordinating teams, schedules, and subcontractors to deliver high-quality results. The Mechanical Retrofit Superintendent will serve as the operational leader responsible for transforming awarded projects into successful, on-site execution.

Key Responsibilities

Field Leadership & Project Execution

Scheduling & Coordination

• Develop and manage project schedules for retrofit and small commercial projects.
• Coordinate with project managers, service teams, and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless project flow.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects with varying timelines and scopes.

Quality & Safety

• Enforce company safety standards and jobsite compliance.
• Ensure workmanship meets quality standards and contractual requirements.
• Conduct site inspections and resolve field issues proactively.

Client & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Serve as a key point of contact on-site for clients and internal teams.
• Maintain strong working relationships with technicians, subcontractors, and suppliers.

Operational Excellence

• Identify opportunities to improve processes, productivity, and field efficiency.
• Support continuous improvement within the retrofit division.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Technical & Leadership Experience

• 5–10+ years of experience in commercial mechanical construction, HVAC, or retrofit environments.
• Proven experience as a Superintendent, Lead Foreman, or Senior Field Supervisor.
• Strong understanding of commercial mechanical systems, retrofit installations, and service operations.

Core Strengths

• Field leadership and crew management
• Scheduling and multi-project coordination
• Problem-solving in dynamic environments
• Communication across technical and non-technical teams
• Commitment to safety and quality

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in commercial retrofit, renovation, or service-driven projects.
• Ability to manage small to mid-sized projects simultaneously.
• OSHA certification or equivalent safety training (preferred).
