Assistant Project Manager - Mechanical

Mantis Innovation is a leading facility performance consultant and project delivery engine that delivers smart, sustainable solutions to improve building performance and unlock operational efficiency. We serve over 70% of what a building owner/operator spends on their facilities - from building envelope and pavements to mechanical systems, lighting, energy procurement, and more.

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Assistant Project Manager (APM) to support large-scale mechanical retrofit projects for our commercial and industrial clients. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior professional to grow in a dynamic environment, gain hands-on experience in mechanical project delivery, and work alongside experienced project managers, engineers, and field teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with site audits and data collection for mechanical and boiler systems.
• Support the development of project scopes, budgets, and schedules.
• Coordinate with utility partners to support incentive applications and compliance.
• Track project progress using Procore, Microsoft Excel, and Unanet (training provided).
• Help prepare client-facing documents, meeting agendas, and project deliverables.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and update shared folders regularly.
• Support vendor coordination, scheduling, and logistics.
• Attend site visits and OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) meetings; take and distribute notes.
• Collaborate with senior project managers to ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of experience in construction, mechanical systems, or energy efficiency project delivery (co-op/internship experience acceptable).
• Exposure to or understanding of boiler systems, HVAC equipment, or MEP projects.
• Experience using Procore, or similar project management platforms (e.g., Buildertrend, PlanGrid).
• Comfortable working with Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and cloud file systems.
• Comfortable reading and understanding construction documents.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Willingness to travel regionally up to 30% (mostly day trips).
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, construction management, energy systems, or a related field preferred - but not required.
