- Gathering project requirements directly from clients and facilitating preparation of working drawings
- Preparing and submitting project proposals, both independently and alongside senior management
- Attending client meetings to present proposals and address questions on cost, design, and scope
- Managing RFIs, change orders, and submittals throughout each project
- Overseeing internal project accounting and tracking cost status across live projects
- Planning, coordinating, and maintaining effective field operations and teams

What we're looking for
- 2–7 years of experience in HVAC project management; design/build experience strongly preferred
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
- Strong communication skills - comfortable presenting to clients and coordinating across internal teams
- Analytical mindset with demonstrated ability to negotiate and resolve conflict effectively
- Flexibility to travel to client sites nationwide as needed
