We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated HVAC Senior Project Manager to immediately join our growing team. You will be responsible for overseeing and managing all phases of large-scale and complex HVAC construction and retrofit projects from initiation to completion.

In addition to managing projects directly, you will play a critical leadership role promoting operational excellence and continuous improvement across all project teams.

Ideally, you have 8+ years of experience as a Construction Project Manager, with a focus on HVAC and estimating, though a lack of HVAC specific experience is not a disqualifier.

• Review and approve project budgets, change orders, RFIs, and submittals.
• Ensure compliance with local building codes, safety regulations, and company policies.
• Maintain regular communication with clients and stakeholders to provide updates and resolve issues.
• Ensure proper project documentation, including schedules, progress reports, and close-out packages.
• Visit jobsites regularly, inspect work for compliance, update field with current documents, and monitor safety. Manage manpower, materials, and schedules to meet objectives. Submit RFIs and change orders as needed. Ensure proper billing, equipment startup, and client training. Close out projects efficiently, completing punch lists and delivering manuals/warranties.

REQUIREMENTS

• Proven ability to lead construction projects, including verifying current drawings and specifications, reviewing contracts, and managing project scope.
• Time management skills to prepare and monitor project schedules, manpower needs, and material/equipment delivery.
• Strong communication and customer service skills to attend client meetings, represent the company’s best interests, and coordinate with other trades.
• Ability to professionally resolve customer and/or team member complaints/issues, including managing RFIs and change orders.
• Abide by all company, industry, and customer safety guidelines, including performing safety inspections and incident reporting.
• Work effectively in a team environment, coordinating with field leadership, subcontractors, and vendors.

PREFERRED TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of direct project manager experience (5 years required).
• Proficient in Microsoft Suite, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and project management software like Procore.
• Relevant degree or training from university, community, or technical school, or equivalent industry experience.
• HVAC and estimating experience, including reviewing vendor/subcontractor quotes and completing takeoffs for rough materials.
• Great driving record and clean criminal background check.
• Experience with project budget setup, cost coding, and budget management.
• Ability to issue and track purchase orders, subcontracts, and submittals, ensuring compliance with contract documents.
