Job description

HVAC Commercial Project Manager | Paradigm Mechanical Corp. | San Diego, CA

Paradigm Mechanical Corp. is a growing mechanical construction company based in San Diego, known for tackling the complex, high-stakes projects others can't or won't. We're looking for an experienced Commercial HVAC Project Manager who's ready to lead meaningful work - from federal facilities to large-scale commercial builds - and grow with a team that's serious about quality and culture.

What You'll Own

Full lifecycle management of multiple commercial HVAC projects - kickoff through closeout

Coordination across clients, engineers, subcontractors, and internal crews

Budget, schedule, materials, and manpower oversight

Site visits, code compliance, and safety enforcement

Project documentation, change orders, RFIs, and closeout packages

Client relationships - keeping communication clear and trust strong

Multi-trade coordination on JOC projects - you don't have to be an electrician, but you do have to manage one

What We're Looking For

5+ years of HVAC project management experience in commercial construction

Demonstrated ability to deliver complex projects on time and on budget

Strong working knowledge of HVAC systems, MEP coordination, and construction processes

Leadership presence - you communicate clearly, solve problems fast, and keep teams aligned

Proficiency in Microsoft Project, or comparable PM software

You'll Stand Out If You Have

Government or federal contracting experience (DoD, Navy, GSA a strong plus)

Comfort managing multi-trade scopes - our JOC work spans generators, roofing, painting, building finishes, electrical, and plumbing. We subcontract the specialty work, but you'll need to coordinate, communicate, and hold those trades accountable

A bias for action - you don't wait for problems to find you

The mindset that client satisfaction and team accountability go hand in hand

Why PMC

We invest in people who are all in, offer competitive pay and benefits, and give you the kind of work that builds a serious résumé. If you want to lead projects that matter alongside a team that holds itself to a high standard - this is your seat.

Company vehicle with fuel card or Auto Allowance

Bonus Program - PMC's Bragging Rights bonus program rewards the PMs and MVPs who deliver exceptional work. When a project finishes strong, we share a percentage of the savings with the team that made it happen. Last year alone, we paid out over $100,000 in bonuses to our team - with Project Managers earning between $1,500 and $12,000 on top of their base salary.

Paid Time Off - including vacation accrual, sick time, and paid holidays.
