Construction Project Manager

Run $2M-$20M mechanical installation projects, coming from the subcontractor side

MEP Project Manager, Heating & Plumbing Systems | NYC Metro Area | Full-Time

A licensed Master Plumber, Oil Burner Installer, and General Contractor serving New York City is hiring a Project Manager to own commercial boiler, heating, and plumbing installation projects ranging from $2M to $20M, end to end. You’d run the office side of every project, estimating, budgeting, RFIs and submittals, while partnering closely with the Superintendent who runs the field.

Base salary: $130,000 - $160,000, plus project performance bonus

The Opportunity

This role is for someone who already knows mechanical systems inside and out from running them on the sub side, not someone learning it from a GC’s PM desk. You’d own the full project lifecycle on multi-million-dollar mechanical installations and be the main point of contact for the client.

What You’d Be Doing

• Owning commercial boiler, heating, and plumbing installation projects from estimating and bidding through closeout
• Building and managing project budgets, schedules, and cost reports
• Reviewing and processing RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings
• Estimating, negotiating, and documenting change orders
• Partnering with the Superintendent and field team on sequencing, materials, and subcontractor scopes
• Serving as the primary client contact, with regular updates on schedule, budget, and progress
• Leading project meetings with clients, engineers, architects, and city agencies

What You’d Bring

Ideally, you’ve managed projects as a PM for a heating and plumbing subcontractor. If that’s not an exact match, PM experience with a general HVAC mechanical subcontractor is also a strong fit, this isn’t an electrical background. You’re comfortable owning budgets, schedules, and change orders on multi-million-dollar mechanical installations, and you’re proficient with Procore, MS Project, or similar software.

Why People Stay

A 401(k) with company match, full medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, and long-term growth with a company that keeps its PMs close to the trade instead of buried in GC-style overhead.
