Our culture is firmly rooted in servant leadership. Leaders are engaged, accessible, and focused on assisting their teams perform at a consistently high level. We invest in training and growth, recognize and reward performance, and expect our teams to take pride in the quality of solutions they deliver.

If you want to do meaningful work with a team that takes pride in what they build and how they serve customers, Pro Tech Mechanical is a place where you can grow and be respected for your contribution.

Role Origin:

This position was created by growth and internal promotion — not turnover. The individual previously in this role has been promoted into a full-time sales capacity. We are building out our project leadership to match the volume and complexity of work we are taking on.

Job Summary:

The Field Supervisor / Project Manager owns commercial HVAC projects from scope development through final commissioning . This is a field-first role — roughly 70% in the field and 30% project management . Most days are spent leading the crew on the jobsite: direct supervision, hands-on assistance, quality control, and customer coordination during execution. The remainder is pre-project planning, job costing, equipment procurement, and scope review.

This is not a clipboard role - we don't do new building construction. We need someone who has done the retrofit work, understands the systems deeply, and can run a crew through complex chiller replacements, hydronic retrofits, and mechanical upgrades in occupied commercial buildings. The right person has spent a career in the trade, carries the technical credibility to earn a crew's respect on day one, and has the organizational instincts to keep multiple jobs moving without losing track of any of them.

A core part of this role is developing the people around you . PTM's Project Technician team is strong and growing — this person will be expected to mentor, coach, and draw on their own experience to share knowledge with the next generation of project techs.

Duties & Responsibilities:

- Pre-Project Planning

• Scope review – read and interpret project documents, specifications, and drawings
• Job cost management – labor hours, material takeoffs, subcontractor coordination
• Equipment procurement and lead-time management
• Site surveys and pre-installation planning for complex retrofits
• Coordination with engineers, customers, and vendors prior to mobilization
• Phasing and access planning for occupied-building installations

- Field Execution & Supervision

• Supervise Project Technicians and subcontractors across active jobs
• Provide hands-on technical assistance – piping, rigging, refrigerant work, commissioning
• Manage daily field operations – manpower, materials, schedule, access
• Quality control throughout installation – piping, electrical connections, startup
• Customer and building staff communication during active work
• Problem-solving field conditions that deviate from plan
• Commissioning oversight and startup documentation
• Job close-out – punch lists, as-builts, warranty documentation

- Team Development

• Mentor and coach Project Technicians in the field
• Set and reinforce quality standards across the project team
• Identify skill gaps and growth opportunities in the team
• Document and communicate best practices from project to project
