  • Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards and regulations, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and safety requirements.
  • Implement and enforce site safety programs and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) processes throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Serve as the primary client contact for project communications, status updates, meetings, and issue resolution.
  • Collaborate with design teams, engineers, and commissioning agents to resolve technical issues and optimize system performance.
  • Utilize project management and collaboration tools (e.g., MS Project, Procore, BIM/Revit) to track progress, documentation, and deliverables.
  • Prepare and present project closeout documentation, warranties, as-built drawings, and operation and maintenance manuals to clients.
Qualifications
  • Bachelors degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
  • 7+ years of progressive experience managing commercial HVAC/MEP projects, with proven success delivering medium to large-scale construction projects.
  • Deep knowledge of HVAC systems, HVAC construction practices, HVAC controls, BAS/Building Automation Systems, and MEP coordination.
  • Experience with commercial building projects and working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems integration.
  • Strong understanding of codes, standards, and regulations (e.g., ASHRAE, NEC, local mechanical/plumbing codes) and commissioning best practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage project budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and change management processes.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, client-facing, and interpersonal skills; ability to lead multi-discipline teams and build strong client relationships.
  • Proficiency with project software such as MS Project, Procore, and exposure to BIM/Revit is a plus.
