Construction Project Manager, MEP

What You'll Own | Project Delivery

• Lead end-to-end implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) to include: HVAC retrofits, controls upgrades, central plant improvements, electrical, and mechanical/plumbing systems
• Drive technical due diligence through construction: identify and manage technical, schedule, cost, environmental, and performance guarantee risks before they become problems
• Prepare and manage detailed project schedules; hold subcontractors and internal teams accountable to milestones
• Manage project budgets, review and approve expenditures, and process subcontractor draw requests

Technical Leadership

• Evaluate submittals, RFIs, and field conditions against contract documents and energy performance requirements
• Serve as the technical authority on-site — the person who spots a misapplied economizer sequence or a VFD programmed to the wrong speed reference
• Oversee implementation of Measurement & Verification (M&V) plans, commissioning protocols, and post-implementation O&M handoffs

Team & Stakeholder Management

• Oversee Associate Project Managers, Superintendents, and subcontractor field personnel
• Own the client relationship: manage expectations, communicate clearly, and ensure satisfaction at every project phase to deliver excellence
• Lead bid processes and subcontract negotiations with a firm understanding of MEP scope and pricing

• Oversee on-site quality control programs to ensure work meets design intent and performance targets

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to read and work from mechanical, electrical, and controls drawings and specifications
• Experience managing subcontractors across multiple trades simultaneously

Why This Work Matters

• Every project you deliver cuts energy waste, reduces carbon emissions, and proves to building owners that sustainability is an investment — not a cost.
• You'll see the results of your work on a utility bill, in a commissioning report, and in the trust of a client who brings you back for the next building.
