Job description

Senior Project Manager / Project Executive (Mechanical Construction)

I’m partnering with a highly respected, growth-oriented mechanical contractor delivering complex commercial and mission-critical projects across Texas. This firm is known for strong leadership, operational excellence, and a hands-on approach to managing self-perform mechanical work.

They are seeking a Senior Project Manager / Project Executive–level leader to oversee large, high-risk mechanical projects and mentor project teams as the company continues to scale. This is a true subcontractor-side leadership role, ideal for someone who has lived in the field, understands installation challenges, and can lead teams through execution—not just manage spreadsheets.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Provide executive-level oversight of complex mechanical projects (HVAC, plumbing, piping).
• Lead multiple PMs and project teams while driving project strategy, execution, and financial performance.
• Serve as a senior client-facing leader and escalation point for critical issues.
• Partner closely with operations leadership and field supervision to ensure constructability and quality.
• Own project financials, forecasting, risk management, and change strategy.
• Help build and refine internal processes as the organization grows.

Must Haves

• 10+ years of experience with a mechanical subcontractor (HVAC/plumbing/piping).
• Proven success leading large-scale, mission-critical or healthcare projects.
• Strong background in self-perform work, not just subcontractor coordination.
• Ability to mentor PMs and influence across field and office teams.
• Experience managing projects in the $10M+ range preferred.

What’s in It for You

• Executive-level compensation with bonus opportunity.
• Auto allowance.
• Strong leadership influence with real input on operations and growth.
• Long-term career runway with a stable, expanding contractor.
