Mechanical Project Manager

An established mechanical construction and custom fabrication organization in the Frederick area is looking for a Mechanical Project Manager to take ownership of projects from initial planning through completion.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the work rather than managing projects strictly from behind a desk. You'll coordinate with customers, engineers, contractors, field personnel, and internal teams while keeping projects moving safely, on schedule, and within budget.

We're looking for an organized, level-headed project leader who understands construction, can read drawings, communicates well with both customers and tradespeople, and knows how to solve problems when conditions change.

This is an opportunity to join an established operation where project managers have meaningful responsibility and direct involvement in the work. You'll interact with both the field and office sides of the business and have the ability to see projects through from planning to completion.

The benefits package includes:

Medical insurance
Dental and vision coverage
Employee health resources for enrolled team members
Short- and long-term disability coverage
Life insurance
401(k)
Paid vacation and sick time
Paid holidays
Compensation

$75,000-$100,000 annually

What You'll Be Responsible For:
Manage mechanical construction and fabrication-related projects from planning through completion.
Develop project schedules, budgets, material requirements, and execution plans.
Coordinate project activities between customers, engineering/design teams, contractors, field personnel, and internal operations.
Review construction drawings, specifications, and related project documentation.
Track job costs and project performance while identifying potential schedule or budget issues early.
Communicate with customers regarding progress, changes, costs, and project expectations.
Manage contract changes, revisions, and project scope adjustments.
Ensure completed work meets project specifications and established quality standards.
Coordinate manpower, materials, priorities, and deadlines across multiple active projects.
Help resolve field, design, scheduling, and construction issues as they arise.
Maintain a strong focus on jobsite safety and compliance.
Build productive working relationships with customers, contractors, supervisors, designers, and skilled tradespeople.
Make sound decisions when projects encounter unexpected delays or changing conditions.

What We're Looking For:
The strongest candidates will bring a combination of construction knowledge, project ownership, and hands-on leadership.
3+ years of construction industry experience involving project leadership, supervision, coordination, or project management.
Background in mechanical construction, HVAC, commercial sheet metal, fabrication, or a closely related construction trade is strongly preferred.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical, engineering, architectural, and construction drawings.
Experience working with project schedules, budgets, job costs, contracts, and changing project requirements.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage several priorities and deadlines at once.
Comfortable communicating directly with customers, contractors, engineers, field personnel, and leadership.
Ability to make decisions independently while still working collaboratively with the larger project team.
Detail-oriented approach with strong follow-through.
Hands-on leadership style and willingness to step in when a project needs attention.
Calm, solutions-oriented approach when schedules tighten or unexpected problems arise.
Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
