An established and growing Sydney mechanical contractor is looking to appoint an experienced HVAC Project Manager to take ownership of commercial mechanical projects across Sydney.
This is a hands-on Project Manager position suited to someone who has come through the mechanical/HVAC contracting environment and is comfortable taking genuine responsibility for projects from initial handover through construction, commissioning and final completion.
The business delivers mechanical projects generally ranging from $500k to $5m and offers the opportunity to work closely with the Directors and construction team in a fast-moving workplace without the layers of a large corporate contractor.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will take end-to-end responsibility for the successful delivery and commercial performance of your projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
Managing mechanical projects from estimating handover through to Practical Completion and DLP
Project planning, programming and overall delivery
Reviewing drawings, specifications and project documentation
Design coordination and resolving constructability issues
Procurement of major HVAC equipment, materials and subcontractors
Managing Site Managers, trades and subcontractors
Builder, consultant and client liaison
Managing project budgets, forecasting and cost-to-complete
Progress claims, variations, EOTs and commercial administration
Monitoring project profitability and identifying commercial risks
Attending client, builder and project meetings
Resolving technical and operational issues throughout construction
Coordinating testing, commissioning and balancing
Managing defects,



O&M; documentation and final handover
Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on programme and within budget
What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in Project Managers with a strong understanding of commercial HVAC and mechanical services.
Ideally, your technical experience will include a combination of:
Chilled-water systems
Chillers, pumps, AHUs and FCUs
VRV/VRF and DX systems
Packaged air-conditioning equipment
Mechanical ventilation and ductwork
Refrigeration pipework
BMS and controls
Mechanical electrical interfaces
Testing and commissioning
You don't necessarily need to be an engineer. Candidates who have progressed from a HVAC trade, Site Manager, Supervisor or Project Engineer background into Project Management are strongly encouraged to apply.
What is more important is that you understand how mechanical projects are actually delivered on site and are comfortable getting involved when issues need to be resolved.
About You
To be successful, you will ideally have:
Previous Project Management experience with a mechanical/HVAC contractor
Strong commercial HVAC knowledge
Experience managing projects in the $500k-5m+ range
End-to-end project delivery experience
Strong commercial and financial awareness
Experience managing subcontractors and site teams
Confidence dealing directly with builders, consultants and clients
Strong problem-solving and decision-making ability
A practical, hands-on approach to project delivery
Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
