Mechanical Project Manager - HVAC & Piping

Have a few years of mechanical project experience and want more say in how jobs get delivered? A mechanical contractor is looking for a Mechanical Project Manager in St. Louis who will own project results on HVAC, plumbing and piping work.

You'll be accountable for each project's outcome: the money, the schedule, the safety record and the finished install. You'll partner closely with field leaders and keep clients confident.

• Approve invoices, oversee payables and receivables, prepare billing schedules and settle cost changes
• Visit sites regularly to confirm mechanical, plumbing and specialty installs match the approved documents
• Run project financials with job cost and cash flow reports, flagging risks early and keeping forecasts accurate
• Strengthen client relationships and pass new opportunities to senior leadership
• Plan manpower, track labor productivity and coordinate with purchasing, the shop, the warehouse and vendors
• Direct subcontractors: set scopes, manage contracts and changes, and confirm DBE/MBE and contract compliance

Your background

• P6 or Microsoft Project experience, or willingness to build it
• 2-5 years managing projects for a mechanical contractor
• Comfortable with Viewpoint, Procore, ACC Build, Bluebeam and Microsoft Office
• A self-starter who communicates clearly and handles competing deadlines calmly
