Senior Mechanical Project Manager – HVAC & Energy Systems |New York City
Salary $100,000 - $120,000 / Annum
Do you know commercial HVAC and mechanical systems well enough to walk onto a jobsite, spot the issue, and confidently guide the team toward the right solution?
Are you an experienced mechanical professional who wants the freedom to own projects, make decisions, and be trusted as the technical expert?
The role
We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Project Manager who brings real field knowledge to project leadership.
This is not a desk-bound PM position. You’ll be regularly involved on job sites, working alongside field teams, clients, engineers, and vendors to keep commercial mechanical projects moving from preconstruction through final closeout.
As our Senior Mechanical Project Manager, you’ll have genuine ownership. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, have the authority to make informed decisions, and be trusted to run your projects without someone constantly looking over your shoulder.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead commercial mechanical projects from estimating handoff through completion.
- Act as the technical authority for HVAC, plumbing, piping, air, water, and cooling systems.
- Troubleshoot installation and equipment issues directly with field teams.
- Manage project schedules, manpower planning, and material deliveries.
- Own budgets, cost forecasts, financial reporting, and change orders.
- Manage RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and project documentation.
- Coordinate equipment and material purchasing, specifications, and lead times.
- Conduct regular jobsite visits and monitor project progress.
- Lead inspections, commissioning, startup, punch lists, and project closeout.
- Keep clients informed and resolve project issues quickly and professionally.
- Maintain high standards for safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
The Company
We deliver commercial mechanical projects where technical knowledge, reliable execution, and strong client relationships matter. Our teams value people who understand the work, support the field, and take ownership of delivering projects the right way.
The Benefits
For the right Senior Mechanical Project Manager, this is an opportunity to step into a trusted, visible position where your experience carries real weight.
You’ll benefit from:
- Significant ownership of your projects
- Direct access to senior leadership
- The freedom to make technical and commercial decisions
- A role combining field involvement with project leadership
- The opportunity to become the go-to mechanical expert for clients and teams
The person
You’ll ideally bring:
- 7–10+ years of mechanical/HVAC industry experience.
- Hands-on field or technician experience before moving into project management.
- Strong knowledge of commercial HVAC and mechanical systems.
- Experience managing budgets, schedules, change orders, and project documentation.
- Confidence solving technical problems onsite with minimal oversight.
- Comfort working equally well in the field and office.
- Project management software and Microsoft Office experience.
Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or related degree is preferred but not essential. Strong industry and field experience matters more.
The successful Senior Mechanical Project Manager will be technically credible, commercially aware, organized, and comfortable taking responsibility when decisions need to be made.
