Project Manager

Project Manager – MEP Construction (Levels I & III)

Location: Bradenton, FL

Schedule: Monday-Friday | Full-Time | On-Site

Industry: MEP / Mechanical Construction

About the Opportunity

We are seeking experienced MEP Project Managers (Levels I and III) to join a growing organization in Bradenton, FL. These are field-oriented project management roles designed for professionals who understand mechanical construction and can work directly with builders, field crews, subcontractors, and customers.

Whether you are an emerging PM ready to balance day-to-day jobsite coordination, or a senior leader ready to take ownership of complex large-scale MEP construction projects from planning through completion, we have an opportunity for you. These are not purely administrative roles—hands-on field experience and knowledge of MEP installation practices are crucial.

Key Responsibilities

Shared across both levels, with increasing complexity and autonomy for PM III:

• Manage MEP construction projects (scope, schedules, budgets, labor, materials, and quality) from pre-construction through completion.
• Coordinate daily activities and communicate regularly with builders, customers, inspectors, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Develop and execute production plans, manpower requirements, equipment logistics, material delivery schedules, and long-lead items.
• Lead field crews and vendors; establish accountability for productivity, quality, and safety.
• Review construction documents, drawings, specifications, and MEP designs.
• Coordinate all mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and other MEP-related activities.
• Conduct field inspections, verify proper installation, and ensure work meets quality standards.
• Identify and resolve site conditions, design conflicts, coordination issues, and installation challenges.
• Manage subcontractor relationships, agreements, billings, and project payouts.
• Manage and execute change orders.
• Maintain accurate records including daily logs, project reports, employee time entries, and material receiving records.
• Lead daily huddles, toolbox talks, and promote strict jobsite safety compliance.
• Support employee development, mentoring, and team-building initiatives.
• Ensure work complies with applicable IMC, IBC, IPC, and building code requirements.

• Proven track record managing complex crews, subcontractors, budgets, schedules, materials, and field operations.
