CTM: Mechanical Project Manager

About Us:

CT Mechanical, a division of Comfort Temp Company, is a leading mechanical contracting firm built on excellence and integrity since 2014. We deliver comprehensive mechanical solutions for the construction and maintenance of commercial structures, facilities, and systems. Rooted in family values, we serve clients across Florida from offices in Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa. Our Tampa branch is growing alongside one of the fastest-developing regions in the country, and we're looking for a leader to help drive that growth.

Job Summary:

Are you a seasoned commercial HVAC leader who knows the Tampa Bay construction market? CT Mechanical is seeking an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to lead projects out of our Tampa office, serving Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and surrounding counties. In this role, you will plan, direct, coordinate, and budget mechanical projects from preconstruction through closeout, working with local general contractors, owners, engineers, and inspectors to deliver quality work on time and on budget.

Tampa Bay's demanding climate means HVAC systems here work harder than almost anywhere else. You'll bring an understanding of what it takes to deliver reliable cooling and humidity control in a hot, humid, hurricane-prone environment, along with the relationships and know-how to navigate local permitting and the Florida Building Code. If you're ready for a role with real growth opportunity and the chance to help shape a growing branch, we want to hear from you.

• Ensure the profitability of all assigned projects, targeting a minimum of 10% net profit.
• Forecast and manage labor hours and manpower needs, providing labor forecasts and a 3-week look-ahead.
• Develop and manage relationships with Tampa Bay–area vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors to optimize project outcomes.
• Build lasting client relationships with local general contractors, developers, and building owners through open communication and prompt resolution of concerns.
• Coordinate with permitting offices and inspectors across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties and local municipalities to keep projects moving.
• Plan around Florida's hurricane season and weather impacts on schedules, material deliveries, and jobsite protection.
• Coordinate with department heads in Asset Management, HR, IT, Estimating, and Finance to streamline project operations.
• Manage warehouse inventory, deliveries, receiving, and material needs to support project requirements.
• Maintain purchasing procedures and manage fabrication needs efficiently.
• Network within the Tampa Bay construction community to grow business development opportunities for the branch.
• Manage warranty needs and ensure timely resolution of any issues.
• Participate in leadership team meetings, contributing insights to strategic decision-making.
• Provide operational solutions to keep all projects running smoothly.
• Prioritize tasks to manage project schedules and meet deadlines.
• Report project metrics weekly to the leadership team, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or higher, or equivalent industry experience.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in the commercial HVAC/R industry.
• At least 3 years of project management experience in a similar role.
• Experience in the Tampa Bay or Florida commercial construction market strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of the Florida Building Code and local permitting and inspection processes.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey ideas and information.
• Strong problem-solving and negotiation skills.
• Ability to motivate and develop others, fostering a collaborative, high-performing team.
• Alignment with our core values and long-term vision for the company.
