About the Position
Shouldice Industrial Manufacturers and Contractors, Inc. is seeking an experienced and motivated HVAC Division Project Manager to oversee commercial and industrial HVAC projects from estimating and preconstruction through project completion and closeout.
This position requires someone who can see the big picture while still paying attention to the details that keep a project profitable and on schedule. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with customers, field personnel, subcontractors, vendors, engineers, and internal departments and understands that successful project management means balancing safety, quality, schedule, manpower, and cost.

Review project drawings, specifications, contracts, scopes of work, and other project documents.
Develop project budgets, schedules, manpower requirements, procurement plans, and overall project execution strategies.
Monitor project costs, labor productivity, committed costs, billings, and overall job profitability.
Work closely with field supervisors and foremen to coordinate manpower, equipment, materials, and project priorities.
Conduct project turnover meetings and ensure field personnel have the information necessary to successfully execute the work.
Manage project schedules and coordinate work with owners, general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and other trades.
Prepare, review, and track submittals, RFIs, change orders, purchase orders, and subcontract agreements.
Identify changes in project scope and ensure additional work is properly documented, priced, submitted, and approved.
Procure HVAC equipment, materials, and subcontracted services while monitoring lead times and delivery schedules.
Review vendor and subcontractor proposals for scope, pricing, and compliance with project requirements.
Coordinate equipment start-up, testing, commissioning, punch-list completion, and project closeout.
Maintain accurate project documentation and communication throughout the life of each project.
Review project performance regularly and take corrective action when cost, schedule, or productivity concerns arise.
Prepare and participate in project progress meetings with customers, contractors, and internal personnel.
Assist with project billing, cost projections, forecasting, and work-in-progress reporting.
Support estimating and preconstruction activities as needed, including scope review, takeoffs, vendor pricing, and project planning.
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, vendors, subcontractors, union representatives, and industry partners.
Promote a culture of safety, accountability, teamwork, quality workmanship, and continuous improvement.
