Lead fast-paced HVAC projects in critical infrastructure environments.
A leading mechanical contractor is hiring Project Managers and Senior Project Managers with experience managing large-scale mechanical scopes—particularly HVAC—in mission critical environments such as data centers, high-tech campuses, or advanced manufacturing. These roles cover the full project lifecycle: estimating, procurement, contract and budget oversight, client coordination, and field execution. Project values typically range from $80M–$500M and are executed with speed-to-market delivery models in mind.
What you’ll do:
- Manage complex HVAC projects from pursuit to completion, ensuring quality, budget, and schedule alignment
- Coordinate field efforts and subcontractors, including project-specific sequencing and staffing
- Serve as the primary liaison between the client, trade partners, and internal teams
- Lead or support preconstruction efforts including GMP estimates, project budgeting, and subcontractor scope alignment
- Oversee change orders, pay applications, and project financials
- Mentor junior staff and support department growth initiatives
What you bring:
- 5+ years of experience managing large mechanical construction projects (HVAC, piping, or MEP scopes), ideally in mission critical settings
- Experience with contracts in the $20M–$500M+ range
- Familiarity with cost-reimbursable and GMP project models
- Ability to operate independently while managing internal coordination and client-facing responsibilities
- Background in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field strongly preferred
- Proficiency in tools like Bluebeam, MS Project, Excel, and platforms such as Smartsheet, JDE, IFS, or similar
Why this role:
- Join a growing, well-established mechanical contractor with a strong foothold in mission critical markets
- Lead fast-moving, high-profile projects with top-tier tech clients
- Work alongside a collaborative team of builders with field-first values
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits — PM and Sr. PM roles available depending on experience
- Currently hiring in AZ, CO, ID, and NV — and starting conversations with candidates who are open to relocating to other US locations as future projects and offices come online.
