Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage mechanical (HVAC and/or plumbing) projects ranging from $50K to $3M+
  • Lead preconstruction efforts including design coordination, budgeting, and scope development
  • Oversee project execution: scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and field support
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships with an emphasis on repeat business
  • Collaborate directly with leadership on operations strategy and process improvement
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to a culture of quality and accountability
Qualifications:
  • Minimum 5 years of experience managing mechanical construction projects
  • Strong background in design-build or negotiated work
  • Hands-on experience with preconstruction, estimating, and design development
  • Proven ability to lead projects from inception through completion
  • Strong communication, coordination, and relationship-building skills
  • Based in, or open to relocating to, Southeastern Wisconsin (relocation support available)
What the Company Offers:
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based bonuses
  • Full benefits package including PTO, health insurance, 401(k), and vehicle allowance
  • Direct access to ownership and real visibility across the organization
  • A long-standing team with low turnover and a strong industry reputation
  • Opportunity to step into a true succession role with long-term leadership potential
