About the company

Our client is an established commercial HVAC and plumbing mechanical contractor with a large West Coast footprint and a national parent company behind it. Their work is all service and retrofit in occupied commercial buildings, with no new construction.

The role

This is a hands-on hybrid of project engineer and project manager. You’ll run commercial retrofit and replacement projects on both the wet side (plumbing) and the dry side (HVAC) from turnover to closeout. Expect to spend real time in the field, not just behind a desk.

• Own assigned projects end to end: scope, schedule, budget, buyout, and closeout


• Run turnover meetings, manage the schedule of values, and track job costs and monthly forecasts


• Manage submittals, RFIs, change orders, and purchasing of equipment, materials, and subcontracts


• Coordinate foremen, field crews, and subcontractors on site


• Serve as the main point of contact for owners, engineers, and facilities teams


• Enforce site safety and keep project documents organized and current

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a project engineer, assistant PM, or PM with an HVAC and/or plumbing mechanical contractor


• Working knowledge of commercial HVAC and plumbing systems


• Comfortable reading drawings and building scopes, schedules, and estimates
