HVAC Project Manager - Estimator

Mechanical Estimator  – Project Manager 

Are you a highly technical HVAC professional who thrives at the intersection of engineering, project management, Estimating and business development?

We are seeking a senior-level to lead complex, high-value commercial HVAC construction and Design-Build initiatives for a premier mechanical solutions provider in the Mid-Atlantic. This is an elite, hybrid role where you will own the entire project lifecycle—bridging preconstruction design, estimation, and buyout with hands-on field execution and client relationship management.

If you want a high-visibility position where you can mentor teams, drive business strategy, and deliver sophisticated mechanical infrastructure, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Preconstruction & Solution Design: Develop innovative commercial HVAC and control solutions; lead comprehensive scoping, engineering analyses, concept validation, and high-level technical presentations to stakeholders.
• Estimating & Bid Management: Oversee full-scale bid efforts, including building comprehensive project manuals, defining bulletproof scopes of work, evaluating coverage, and navigating complex bid/compliance requirements (permits, MBE goals, prevailing wages, bonding).
• Subcontract Buyout: Conduct strategic contract negotiations with subcontractors to mitigate risk and lock in highly competitive, airtight agreements.
• Construction Operations: Act as the primary, senior-level contact for clients, architects, and owners from groundbreaking to completion; monitor team deliverables to ensure timelines are strictly met.
• Financial Control: Direct project financials, controlling budgets, cash flows, forecasting, and the structural development of monthly cost reporting/billing.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Direct and appraise project teams and field staff; provide active coaching, technical guidance, and professional development plans to entry-level engineers and assistant PMs.
• Business Development Support: Maintain and leverage relationships with existing clients, architects, and engineers to facilitate repeat business; actively engage in industry organizations like ASHRAE.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: 5 + years of hands-on project management and estimating experience in commercial construction, ideally working for a Mechanical Contractor, General Contractor, or Construction Management firm.
• HVAC Expertise: Deep, functional knowledge of commercial HVAC systems, temperature controls, and building automation/process control systems.
• Contract Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of standard AIA contract documents, with specific expertise in Cost-Plus-GMP and Design-Build delivery methods.
• Tech-Savvy: High proficiency with modern construction management software; direct experience with Procore and Sage/Timberline is strongly preferred.
• Leadership Skills: Proven track record of managing multiple projects simultaneously, optimizing field manpower, and independently resolving escalated subcontractor or client disputes.
• Communication: Exceptional presentation and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate complex mechanical layouts and financial metrics into clear, concise action plans.
