Mechanical Project Manager – Data Center
About Us:
Highland Consulting Group is a national executive search firm focused on placing top construction and building-systems talent. Backed by 75+ years of combined industry experience, we partner with clients and candidates to create long-term, career-building matches.
Position Overview:
We’ve been retained by a large, well-established regional mechanical contractor in the Lima, OH area to recruit a Mechanical Project Manager to lead data center work—mechanical piping, plumbing, and HVAC—on large, highly visible projects (often $50M+). If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy owning complex scope from preconstruction through closeout, and want to be rewarded for performance, this is a strong opportunity. Our client is known for professionalism, a great reputation in the market, and a technology-forward approach to project delivery.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead all phases of assigned projects from award through closeout, ensuring scope, schedule, budget, and quality targets are met.
- Partner with the Senior Project Manager to direct a team of Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Superintendents.
- Coordinate with scheduling resources to build and maintain project schedules and drive milestone completion.
- Prepare, price, and negotiate change orders; maintain accurate, timely change documentation and logs.
- Own project financial performance—cost forecasting, billings, approvals, and budget adherence.
- Administer project contracts and subcontracts; ensure compliance with contractual requirements and internal controls.
- Lead buyout activities, including subcontractor selection, scope alignment, and equipment/material procurement.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for owners and key stakeholders; communicate progress, risks, and resolutions.
- Maintain complete project documentation, including RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, and closeout deliverables.
- Coordinate punch-list walks with the Superintendent and owner’s representative; issue, track, and close punch items.
- Build long-term client relationships to support repeat business and future opportunities.
Qualifications:
- 7+ years of experience as a Mechanical Project Manager delivering large commercial, institutional, or government projects (typically $20M+).
- Demonstrated success leading project teams and managing project controls, forecasting, and cost-to-complete.
- Ability to develop and enforce execution plans that drive schedule performance, quality, and safety.
- Strong experience pricing and negotiating change orders, including scope review, labor productivity impacts, and documentation.
- Excellent communication and organization skills, with the ability to run effective, cross-functional meetings.
- Stable work history with a reputation for delivering results and developing high-performing teams.
Benefits:
Our client offers a strong total rewards package and invests in their teams with the tools and support needed to succeed. Highlights include:
- Competitive salary and generous bonuses
- 401(k) contributions and profit sharing
- Comprehensive family healthcare
- Car allowance
- Relocation Assistance
