Position Overview

Wheeler Staffing Partners is seeking Project Manager and Senior Project Manager candidates to oversee large-scale mechanical and plumbing-focused construction projects, including a long-term data center project continuing through 2030.

This role requires experience working for mechanical subcontractors (not General Contractors or Owner’s Representatives) and a proven track record of directly managing field labor teams and full project financials from initiation through completion.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in mechanical and/or plumbing project execution, along with the ability to forecast, manage, and control project costs throughout the lifecycle of the project. Data center experience is required.

The Project Manager will lead installation efforts for MEP systems, coordinate teams, and manage budgets for large commercial and healthcare construction projects. The Senior Project Manager will oversee all aspects of the project, including direct field labor, subcontractors, financial performance, and schedule management, ensuring safe, quality, and compliant execution.

Relocation support is available for candidates outside the Montgomery area, with a weekly living allowance for traveling professionals.

  • Identify deviations from project plans and proactively recommend corrective actions

Vendor & Subcontractor Coordination
  • Negotiate and manage vendor and subcontractor contracts
  • Review submittals against drawings and specifications for accuracy
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors and subcontractors to ensure project success

Team Leadership & Development
  • Directly manage field labor teams including foremen, superintendents, and skilled trades (hands-on leadership required)
  • Provide day-to-day oversight of field operations and workforce productivity
  • Promote a culture of safety, accountability, and high performance
  • Conduct safety meetings, incident investigations, and site walks

Compliance & Safety
  • Ensure adherence to all safety, code, and regulatory requirements on project sites
  • Maintain awareness of infection control procedures and other healthcare-specific compliance standards (for healthcare projects)
  • Monitor risk and implement mitigation strategies to avoid delays or cost overruns

Reporting & Communication
  • Prepare project reports, schedules, and performance updates for leadership
  • Document meetings, site activities, and project milestones accurately
  • Provide updates to clients and stakeholders regarding project progress and potential challenges

Required Qualifications

Experience
  • Project Manager: 5–10 years of project management experience with mechanical or plumbing subcontractors
  • Senior Project Manager: 10+ years of project management experience on large commercial projects ($15–$25M); data center experience required
  • Required: Experience managing mechanical and/or plumbing projects
  • Required: Direct management of field labor teams (candidates with only General Contractor or Owner’s Representative experience will not be considered)
  • Required: Strong project financial management experience, including budgeting, forecasting, and cost projections throughout the project lifecycle
  • Hands-on experience in plumbing/piping systems and mechanical construction
  • Experience managing subcontractors, field labor, and high-value project budgets

Education
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical), or applicable technical field
  • Equivalent field experience in HVAC/plumbing considered, especially for candidates with trade progression

Skills
  • Strong verbal and written communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
  • Knowledge of construction industry best practices, contract types, and MEP systems
  • Strong financial acumen with the ability to track and forecast project costs

Benefits

  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Mileage reimbursement and monthly car allowance
  • Relocation support or weekly living allowance for traveling candidates

Ideal Candidate Profile
Candidates with a trade background who have advanced through plumbing or HVAC roles into project management are highly encouraged. The ideal candidate brings hands-on mechanical/plumbing project experience, direct labor leadership (not GC-only oversight), and strong financial ownership of projects, ensuring successful delivery from preconstruction through closeout.
