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 setting 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 environment 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

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

Solid commercial HVAC knowledge

Experience managing projects in the $500k-5m+ range

End-to-end project delivery experience

Strong commercial and financial awareness
