Current mechanical contractor jobs in Chicago
$55.00–$60.50/hr across 3 held official local records.
Held source rates before fringes, not Gulfstream job offers or a single HVAC pay scale. Classifications and effective dates differ. Confirm current rates and project jurisdiction with the hall. Gulfstream is independent of these unions; listings do not establish contractor affiliation.
Chicago's commercial mechanical work spans downtown high-rise, healthcare, higher education and data center construction across Cook, DuPage and the collar counties. Gulfstream recruits project managers, superintendents, estimators, service technicians and managers, BAS/controls technicians and VDC/BIM detailers for union and merit-shop commercial mechanical contractors in the metro. Every search is confidential.
Tell us the equipment your team services or starts up: centrifugal or screw chillers, VRF systems, boilers, packaged rooftop units or cooling towers. We screen for manufacturer platforms, startup and commissioning experience, controls troubleshooting, EPA 608 and on-call fit.
Define the territory, product lines, customer base and whether the role is field service, warranty and startup, inside or outside sales, or applications engineering. We screen for product knowledge, contractor and engineer relationships, and the travel the territory requires.
A manufacturer startup technician, a contractor service technician and a rep applications engineer work the same equipment from different sides. Describe the actual responsibilities so candidates are matched to the role rather than to a product name.
Choose a role below, then add your actual work location and a message describing equipment, territory, required experience and timeline. A recruiter reviews your requirements through our existing employer inquiry process. No fee to submit.
Include the role, actual city or territory, equipment types and brands, whether the work is service, startup, sales or applications, required experience, travel and schedule.
Yes. We recruit for HVAC equipment manufacturers, distributors, manufacturer reps and suppliers, as well as commercial mechanical contractors. A company appearing in our equipment directory is not a client relationship or an opening.
Not until you approve it. Postings and first conversations describe the role and region without naming your company.
Yes. We fill union-covered and salaried roles for union and merit-shop contractors. Hall dispatch for field trades stays with the local.
No. Gulfstream recruits for commercial mechanical contractors and HVAC equipment companies: HVAC, plumbing, piping, sheet metal and building controls.
