About Byers Industrial Services

Byers Industrial Services is a leading electrical and mechanical contractor supporting large-scale industrial construction projects across the United States. Our Southeast Division, headquartered in Gibsonville, NC, is actively growing and expanding its footprint across the region.

Due to this growth, we are looking to bring on strong, field-proven individuals who want to be part of building something—not just maintaining it.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a backfill role. This is a growth-driven hire.

We are actively expanding our Southeast operations, which means:

• More projects coming online
• Increased responsibility and visibility early on
• Real opportunity to grow into senior leadership roles

If you’ve been in the field and are looking for a company that will invest in your development and provide a clear path forward, this is that opportunity.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Mechanical Project Manager with a strong background in industrial construction and field operations. This role is ideal for candidates who have progressed from the field (Mechanical Foreman, Superintendent, Millwright Lead, Ironworker Lead, or Assistant Project Manager) and are ready to take the next step in their career.

You will play a key role in both project execution and preconstruction efforts, helping drive mechanical scopes from planning through completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage mechanical construction projects from preconstruction through closeout
• Oversee project schedules, budgets, manpower, and overall execution
• Work closely with field leadership to ensure productivity, safety, and quality standards
• Assist with and review estimates, takeoffs, and bid packages
• Track costs and support project forecasting
• Coordinate with clients, general contractors, and internal teams
• Support procurement of materials, subcontractors, and equipment
• Identify and resolve project risks, delays, and field challenges

Qualifications

• Background in industrial mechanical construction (required)
• Field experience performing tasks such as:
• Equipment setting and alignment
• Rigging and setting of heavy mechanical equipment
• Structural steel installation
• Conveyor systems, piping systems, or process equipment installation
• Welding, fabrication, and mechanical assembly
• Experience as a Millwright, Ironworker, Welder, or similar trade strongly preferred
• Experience leading crews as a Foreman, Lead, or Superintendent preferred
• Exposure to estimating, project coordination, or planning is a plus
• Estimating experience is a strong advantage and highly valued in this role
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, mechanical drawings, and rigging plans
• Strong communication skills and desire to grow into a leadership role
• Willingness to travel throughout the Southeast

Benefits

• 401(k) with company matching
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid time off (PTO)
• Parental leave

Compensation & Growth

• Starting salary at $90K with flexibility based on experience
• Performance-based bonus potential
• Clear path for advancement as the Southeast Division continues to grow

If you’re a field-proven mechanical professional with leadership experience—and ideally some estimating exposure—looking to transition into project management with a company that is actively expanding, we want to speak with you.

This is an opportunity to get in early, grow with the division, and build a long-term career with Byers Industrial Services.
