Job description

MEP Project Manager

Location: Hybrid in Cincinnati, OH

Our client is seeking an MEP Project Manager to help lead complex building systems projects that shape how people learn, heal, work, and gather. This is an opportunity to step into a visible leadership role with a respected consulting environment where technical excellence, client partnership, and smart project execution all matter. The right person will bring confidence in managing multidisciplinary engineering efforts, a strong sense of ownership, and the ability to keep teams aligned from kickoff through closeout.

This role is ideal for a project leader who enjoys balancing client relationships, internal coordination, and day-to-day project delivery. You will oversee mechanical, electrical, and plumbing focused projects across a mix of institutional and commercial environments, helping ensure quality outcomes, clear communication, and strong financial performance.

What You Will Do

• Lead multidisciplinary building systems projects from early planning through construction support
• Coordinate scope, schedule, budget, and consultant activity for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design efforts
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, contractors, and internal technical teams
• Guide project execution with a strong focus on quality, responsiveness, and commercial performance
• Assist with creating proposals, budgeting project costs, and managing scope adjustments throughout the project lifecycle
• Review design deliverables for completeness, coordination, and alignment with client objectives
• Monitor project risks, action items, and decision points to keep delivery moving and stakeholders aligned
• Facilitate meetings, document project progress, and maintain clear communication across stakeholders
• Support permitting, compliance, and jurisdictional coordination as needed for assigned work
• Contribute to long term client relationships by identifying needs, solving problems, and creating a strong project experience

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline, plus project leadership experience in the built environment
• 8 plus years of experience managing engineering or construction related projects, ideally within healthcare, education, civic, or commercial sectors
• Working knowledge of MEP systems and the project delivery process
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail and follow through
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with both technical and nontechnical audiences
• Experience with budgeting, scheduling, resource planning, and contract administration
• Professional Engineer, PMP, or similar credential is valued but not required
• Comfort working in a hybrid setting with periodic travel to client and project sites around the Cincinnati region

Why This Role Stands Out

• Visible role with meaningful project ownership
• Strong blend of technical coordination and client leadership
• Opportunity to work on impactful, high profile built environment projects
• Collaborative team setting with room for long term growth
