** What's in it for you:*
* Trane Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a Project Developer with our Life Science Solutions Business. As a Project Developer, you will work with internal teams and customers to identify and develop refrigeration turnkey design-build solutions, with a specific focus on cold room contracting and walk-in refrigeration systems - including walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, modular cold rooms, and controlled-environment storage. Your responsibilities span the full project lifecycle: scope-of-work development, cost estimating, equipment selection, and engineering coordination.

This role requires deep knowledge of refrigeration systems - especially cold room and walk-in refrigeration construction - combined with strong interpersonal, communication, and project management skills, and the determination and work ethic to succeed in a competitive design-build contracting environment.

The Project Developer is responsible for consultative support of Design-Build Turnkey work across cold room contracting and walk-in refrigeration projects. This position requires mastery of acquisition, technical aptitude, and project management skills.

* What you will do:

*
* · Develop refrigeration systems and solutions - with a primary emphasis on contracting cold rooms, walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, and specialty controlled-temperature enclosures - using FARRAR equipment and controls alongside other leading refrigeration systems; responsibilities include project scoping, concept development, engineering analysis, and system validation.

· Lead the development of cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracting proposals, including panel system selection (insulated metal panels, floor systems, door hardware), refrigeration equipment specifications, and MEP coordination required for turnkey delivery.

· Support Sales Associates in developing and establishing project installation budgets for cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracts, preparing scope summaries and guiding the engineering team on customer requirements.

· Provide key technical support to pursue Life Science contracting business, including participation in strategic job acquisition teams for cold room contracting opportunities in pharmaceutical, life sciences, food & beverage, and industrial markets.

· Manage the design process for cold room and walk-in refrigeration projects - from conceptual site plans and preliminary engineering documents through construction documents - ensuring designs meet applicable building codes, FDA/GMP compliance standards, and client specifications.

· Evaluate and select refrigeration systems appropriate for cold room contracting applications, including single-stage and cascade refrigeration, CO₂ and low-GWP refrigerant systems, self-contained walk-in units, and remote condensing systems.

· Coordinate with subcontractors, including panel installers, mechanical contractors, electrical contractors, and controls integrators, to develop complete cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracting packages.

· Continually validate the effectiveness of the Design-Build Turnkey process for cold room and walk-in applications; identify and develop process improvements to increase competitiveness and project delivery efficiency.

· Responsible for securing customers from Solutions Development through project transition to Fulfillment across cold room contracting and walk-in…
