Project Manager, Procurement ​/ Purchasing

JCM is a family-owned commercial mechanical and plumbing contractor with 38 years of history in the DC Metro region. We have built a reputation for delivering technically complex, high-value projects for the region’s top owners, developers, and general contractors — data centers, hospitals, federal facilities, high-rise residential, college campuses, and trophy office buildings — with project values ranging from $15M to $200M+.

Our culture is close-knit, collaborative, and genuinely team-first — the kind of environment where people know each other, look out for each other, and take pride in the work they do together. We are based in Upper Marlboro, MD — just outside of Washington DC — in a brand-new, state-of-the-art office and fabrication facility purpose-built for the scale of work we do.

Careers are built here. Skills are developed here. People are valued here — and that is exactly why so many of our team members have stayed for 20 years or more.

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager (PM) to lead the delivery of commercial mechanical and plumbing construction projects across MD, VA, and DC.

This is a full-ownership role. Our PMs lead their projects from buyout through closeout — managing financial performance, field execution, client relationships, and the APM and PE team supporting them. You will work directly with field Foremen, be on the job site regularly, and be the person your team and your client rely on to keep everything moving. If you have run mechanical or plumbing construction projects and are looking for a company that takes the work seriously and invests in the people who deliver it, we would like to talk.

JCM specializes in large-scale commercial mechanical and plumbing construction, including:

• Data centers and mission-critical facilities
• Hospitals, medical labs, and healthcare campuses
• Federal and government facilities
• High-rise residential and mixed-use developments
• College and university buildings
• Trophy office and corporate headquarters projects

Project MEP scope on PM assignments typically ranges from $15M to $75M+.

• Lead project buyout — scope packages, vendor selection, purchase orders, and subcontract awards. Own the procurement log from release through delivery.
• Oversee the procurement and delivery schedule for all major mechanical and plumbing equipment, ensuring purchases align with specifications, timelines, and budget.
• Manage and coordinate specialty subcontractors — sheet metal, balancing, controls, and insulation — from scoping through performance and closeout.
• Lead the creation, review, tracking, and management of submittals with full technical ownership — not just routing.
• Manage RFIs, design changes, and change order documentation, ensuring issues are identified early, framed clearly, and resolved efficiently.
• Maintain complete and current project documentation through every phase, including closeout packages, warranties, and final payment documents.

• Lead the preparation, pricing, submission, and tracking of change orders. Evaluate cost and time impacts accurately and pursue them completely.
• Maintain clear change order logs and communicate status to clients and stakeholders to protect project budget integrity throughout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, allocating resources, tracking procurement timelines, and surfacing impacts and delays to leadership proactively.
• Take full ownership of project financial performance — budgets, forecasts, cost-to-complete tracking, and cash flow.
• Lead regular cost-to-complete reviews, identify exposure early, and have mitigation strategies in place before issues escalated.

• Manage BIM coordination resources and processes to ensure mechanical and plumbing systems are integrated accurately and clash-free before field installation begins.
• Coordinate with the fabrication team to establish and maintain prefabrication schedules aligned with the project timeline. Manage the fabrication log and spool approval process.
• Oversee prefabrication logistics to support efficient on-site installation and minimize schedule…
