Hire a Mechanical Project Manager

Mechanical PMs are the hardest single hire on a commercial mechanical contractor's org chart — one wrong hire on a $30M+ project kills the schedule. We recruit mechanical PMs exclusively (not generalist construction PMs) and can pre-qualify on the systems, tools, and delivery profile your project actually runs.

How we pre-qualify Mechanical Project Managers

  • Direct mechanical contractor experience (no GC-only PMs unless specified)
  • Systems: chilled water, VRF, DOAS, boiler plants, medical gas, process piping
  • Software: Bluebeam, AutoBid/Trimble, Procore, MSUITE, Autodesk Construction Cloud
  • Project sizes matched to your average job value and delivery method
  • Buyout, submittal, RFI, and change-order management demonstrated on comparable jobs

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a mechanical project manager?

It depends on the role, the market and the pay. We set expectations on the first call and update you as the search moves.

Do you recruit senior PMs and PXs?

Yes. Senior PM, PX, and Operations Manager searches run on the same intake process. For VP-level or division-lead roles we typically move to a retained engagement.

What is the fee structure?

Contingency (pay on hire) for most PM searches. Retained fees only when the role is confidential, executive, or requires exclusive engagement. 90-day replacement guarantee on contingency placements.
