Mentor junior staff and support department growth initiatives
What you bring:
5+ years of experience managing large mechanical construction projects (HVAC, piping, or MEP scopes), ideally in mission critical settings
Experience with contracts in the $20M–$500M+ range
Familiarity with cost-reimbursable and GMP project models
Ability to operate independently while managing internal coordination and client-facing responsibilities
Background in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field strongly preferred
Proficiency in tools like Bluebeam, MS Project, Excel, and platforms such as Smartsheet, JDE, IFS, or similar
