The opportunity

We're working with a well-established, nationally recognised mechanical design/build contractor with a strong track record across complex HVAC and process piping projects. Consistently recognised as a Best Place to Work, this is a business that's built a genuine culture around doing right by its people - and it shows in the tenure and satisfaction of their team.

They're looking for a Project Manager with solid HVAC experience to join their team in Downers Grove, IL. This is a broad, commercially varied role where you'll take ownership of projects from estimating through to close-out - working closely with clients, design teams, and field staff in a truly integrated design/build environment.

If you're someone who's comfortable in front of clients, can manage multiple projects at pace, and wants to work somewhere that genuinely values your contribution - this is worth a conversation.

What you'll be doing

Managing the full lifecycle of mechanical and/or process piping projects - estimating, scheduling, quality control, cost reporting, and close-out
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
Managing project close-out and warranty issues as they arise

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

Clear.
