Key Responsibilities

- Collaborate with preconstruction, estimating, and operations teams to establish clear milestones and ensure seamless project handoff and execution.
- Proactively resolve issues, turning potential challenges into opportunities through creative problem-solving and risk mitigation.
Financial & Budget Management
- Track project costs in real time, forecast projections accurately, and identify variances early.
- Monitor budgets diligently, capture change orders, and pursue opportunities to enhance profitability without compromising quality or safety.
- Maintain precise documentation of scope changes, costs, and execution details to support billing, claims, and closeout.
Team Leadership & Coordination
- Lead and motivate superintendents, field crews, and subcontractors to achieve high performance and accountability.
- Set clear objectives, delegate effectively, and track team member progress; support development, training, and recognition.
- Foster open communication across the project team, clients, and stakeholders through regular coordination meetings, site walks, and proactive updates.
- Participate in recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and supervising high-caliber personnel as needed.
Quality, Safety & Client Satisfaction
- Uphold and exceed industry standards for commercial HVAC installation, retrofit, and commissioning work (chillers, boilers, VRF, building automation, piping, etc.).
- Conduct quality assurance reviews and job-site inspections to prevent callbacks, warranty issues, and ensure client delight.
- Perform client walk-throughs and maintain strong, proactive relationships to drive repeat business and referrals.
- Ensure full compliance with company safety policies, project-specific requirements, PPE usage, and coordination with safety personnel for a zero-incident jobsite.
Relationship Building & Business Development
- Cultivate long-term relationships with clients, architects, engineers, general contractors, and subcontractors to support future opportunities.
- Proactively engage with the construction community to identify and initiate new commercial HVAC projects and retrofits.
- Schedule and coordinate subcontractors efficiently to maintain project momentum and overall success.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Proven experience managing commercial HVAC construction and/or retrofit projects (e.g., chillers, boilers, rooftop units, VRF systems, building automation, industrial piping).
- Strong understanding of mechanical systems, construction processes, budgeting, scheduling, and contract administration.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage effectively at all levels.
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and skilled at multitasking with exceptional follow-through.
- Professional demeanor, punctuality, and commitment to safety-sensitive environments.
- Experience with government or institutional facilities is a plus.
- Proficiency in project management tools/software (e.g., Procore, Microsoft Project, or similar) preferred.
