Working alongside experienced Project Managers, you'll help maintain project schedules, manage critical documentation, track costs, and coordinate with production teams, engineering, vendors, and subcontractors.

What You'll Do

• Support Mechanical Project Managers with day-to-day project coordination, scheduling, documentation, and reporting.
• Assist with project handoffs from estimating and organize contract documents, drawings, and specifications.
• Review bills of materials for piping, panels, structural steel, and other mechanical equipment components.
• Assist with material takeoffs, vendor quote comparisons, purchasing coordination, and long-lead equipment tracking.
• Prepare and manage project submittals, approval logs, and associated schedule requirements.
• Coordinate with production teams to monitor fabrication progress and ensure parts are released according to project schedules.
• Help track project costs, price change orders, and maintain project cost reporting.
• Assemble operating and maintenance manuals, closeout documentation, and project turnover packages.
• Participate in project meetings, document action items, and communicate project updates.
• Assist with contract compliance, subcontractor coordination, and construction quality requirements.

What You Bring

• Ideally, 3–5 years of experience in mechanical construction, HVAC, piping, plumbing, or project coordination.
• A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or five or more years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
• Practical understanding of mechanical construction documents, material requirements, and project schedules.
• Knowledge of construction cost tracking, contract administration, and change management.
• Experience with or familiarity with tools such as Primavera, Bluebeam, Procore, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace.
• Familiarity with ERP platforms such as Viewpoint, CMiC, or Spectrum.
• OSHA 10 training.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Confidence working independently while collaborating with multiple project stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel throughout the assigned three-state project territory.

Experience with 3D CAD, off-site equipment fabrication, and mechanical construction production processes is an advantage.
