What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Construction Senior Project Manager position at Diamond Peak Recruiting?
Mechanical Senior Project Manager
Portland, Oregon
Some projects get built. Others get remembered.
We’re looking for a Mechanical Senior Project Manager who understands the difference.
This role isn’t about babysitting schedules or forwarding emails — it’s about owning the outcome. You’ll lead mechanical projects from preconstruction through closeout with the kind of command that keeps clients calm, field teams aligned, and financials exactly where they belong.
Mechanical scopes run up to $25M, and success here comes from someone who sees the whole board: budgets, contracts, manpower, risk, and relationships.
What You’ll Be Trusted With
• Managing full‑cycle mechanical construction projects from buyout through turnover
• Driving budgets, forecasts, and cost control while maintaining schedule integrity
• Leading coordination between field teams, design partners, vendors, and ownership
• Running meetings that move projects forward — not just fill calendars
• Protecting margin while protecting relationships
What Makes Someone Successful Here
• Deep understanding of mechanical systems — HVAC, piping, plumbing, and more
• Experience running sizable, complex projects with real pressure points
• Ability to spot issues early and act before they become problems
• Clear, purposeful communication that cuts through noise
• Professional presence that earns client trust and confidence
Why This Role Stands Out
• Steady pipeline of negotiated work
• Projects with real scale, visibility, and technical challenge
• Leadership that understands construction, not just spreadsheets
• A culture where strong PMs are given autonomy — not micromanagement
If you’re the kind of PM who knows the numbers, controls the job, and walks onto a site like you own the outcome, this is worth a conversation.
