Description

HEAPY Solutions continues to grow — and we’re looking for a Construction Project Manager with a mechanical focus to support projects in our established Indianapolis market. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their construction career who’s eager to learn, grow, and gain hands‑on experience managing MEP infrastructure projects alongside an experienced team.

Does this sound like you?

• Are you early in your construction career and excited to grow into a project management role?
• Do you have a background or interest in mechanical systems (HVAC, piping, etc.)?
• Do you enjoy being on-site, learning by doing, and seeing projects come to life?
• Are you organized and detail‑oriented, with strong communication skills?
• Do you thrive in a collaborative, team‑focused environment?

If so, this is your opportunity to build your career with a forward‑thinking company grounded in our Colleague First Values.

• Supports project progress tracking, reporting, and documentation, including schedules, meeting notes, cost control, and progress billing updates
• Coordinates and participates in progress meetings with clients, subcontractors, and project stakeholders
• Identifies project risks, issues, or potential delays and escalates them appropriately to senior project leaders
• Builds strong client relationships through clear communication, responsiveness, and reliable execution, contributing to a Superior Client Experience

• Engages in ongoing technical and professional development aligned with individual and team OKR goals
• Represents HEAPY Solutions culture in all interactions and supports colleague engagement and team success
• Performs other duties as assigned

Qualifications
