Job summary

Berg Enterprises, Inc. is seeking a Project Manager in Houston, TX to own end-to-end delivery of federal mechanical contracts. The role combines on-site and office work to ensure projects meet schedule, budget, and scope while coordinating with field teams and clients.

Minimum experience includes 2–5 years managing commercial mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing construction projects, with travel up to 60%. Strong cost control, scheduling, and documentation skills are required for success.

Qualifications

• Two to five years managing commercial mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing construction projects.
• Fluency with contract drawings and specifications, and the judgment to know when the spec and the field disagree.
• Command of project cost: budgets, forecasts, change orders, and billings.
• Additional knowledge in plumbing, building automation, or other MEP trades a plus.
• Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills, with tact, courtesy, and ethics.
• Writes clearly enough that a subcontractor can act on an RFI without a follow-up call.
• Engineering or construction management degree preferred; equivalent field experience considered.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the project on schedule, on budget, and to scope.
• Own one or more active federal mechanical contracts end to end, from award through closeout and warranty.
• Own cost-to-complete on assigned projects and defend the number in variance review.
• Build and maintain project schedules, and know which of the next three constraints actually matters.
• Buy out the job: scope subcontractors and vendors, negotiate, and award.
• Price, negotiate, and defend change orders with the client.
• Run submittals, RFIs, and procurement, directly or through a Project Engineer.
• Own customer billing and subcontractor billing review on assigned projects.
• Uphold contract, quality, and compliance standards.
• Own project safety performance alongside the field team.
• Manage subcontractor performance, including the conversation nobody wants to have — early rather than late.
• Run project meetings with BEI staff, subcontractors, and the client, and leave with decisions rather than notes.
• Coordinate with the Superintendent so the field and office are working off the same plan.
• Keep the project record complete and current — federal contracts run on documentation, and claims are won on it.
• Build client and industry relationships.
