Project Manager – HVAC​/Mechanical Contracting

Project Manager – HVAC / Mechanical Contracting

To be considered, you must have all three of the following:

• A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline
• A minimum of 5 years of HVAC experience gained within commercial construction — field service, facilities, and residential backgrounds do not qualify
• Current or prior experience as a Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer with full project ownership — assisting on projects does not meet this requirement

If your background checks all three boxes, we want to hear from you. If any one of them does not apply, this is not the right fit at this time.
