Senior Project Manager (Mechanical / MEP)
Richmond, Virginia | Full-Time | On-Site
Some project managers track progress.
Others take ownership of multi-million-dollar delivery, people, and performance.
This role sits firmly in the second category.
Our client, a well-established and fast-growing MEP contractor, is looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead large-scale mechanical projects across commercial and industrial environments in Virginia.
This is not a coordination-only role.
You’ll take full ownership of project delivery — from planning and forecasting through execution, commercial performance, and team leadership — on projects exceeding $10M in value.
Why this opportunity
Our client has built a strong reputation over 50+ years and is continuing to grow across complex mechanical and industrial projects.
What makes this role stand out:
- Established, highly respected MEP contractor with long-term client relationships
- Strong pipeline of large-scale ($10M+) mechanical projects
- Leadership opportunity managing PMs, PEs, and field teams
- Direct impact on project profitability, forecasting, and delivery strategy
- Clear progression into senior leadership as the business continues to scale
This isn’t just project oversight — it’s full project ownership and team leadership.
What you will do
You’ll take full ownership of project delivery across planning, execution, and commercial performance, acting as the primary client contact and ensuring projects are delivered on time and on budget.
This includes developing schedules, forecasting labor, and coordinating materials, equipment, and subcontractors to maintain efficient delivery. You’ll review RFIs, assess impacts on scope and cost, and work closely with field teams and Superintendents to keep projects on track.
You’ll also own project financials — including revenue forecasts, cost-to-complete, and profitability — while collaborating with virtual construction teams to improve coordination and outcomes.
Alongside delivery, you’ll support and develop PMs and Engineers, helping drive a high-performance, safety-focused project environment.
What you will need
You’ll bring at least five years of experience in mechanical or MEP project management, with a proven track record delivering projects valued at $10M+. Experience within commercial or industrial environments is strongly preferred.
A solid understanding of mechanical and/or plumbing systems is essential, along with the ability to manage long-duration projects involving complex coordination of labor and materials. You’ll be commercially aware, confident managing budgets and forecasts, and comfortable making informed decisions.
You should be able to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications, with OSHA 30 (or equivalent) safety knowledge expected. Strong communication and leadership skills are key, along with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
This role is best suited to candidates from a mechanical subcontractor background with direct project ownership experience.
Important:
This role is specifically suited to candidates from a mechanical subcontractor background.
Candidates from general contractors (GCs) are unlikely to align due to differences in project ownership and delivery expectations.
Additional role details
- Based in Richmond, Virginia
- Full-time, on-site project environment
- Large-scale commercial and industrial project exposure
