ABOUT OUR CLIENT

• Established Lower Mainland mechanical contractor with deep roots in the Vancouver market and a long-standing presence dating back to the early 1970s.
• Project portfolio includes a diverse mix of new build residential, commercial and institutional projects. 
• Provides end-to-end mechanical services that blend design-build project delivery with long-term service and maintenance support for building systems.
• Works across core scopes including HVAC/refrigeration, plumbing, and building automation/controls, supporting both project execution and ongoing building performance needs.
• Known for stable teams and a performance-driven environment where strong project and client outcomes are recognized and rewarded 

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

• This is a true full-cycle Mechanical Project Manager role. You will own jobs from pursuit through closeout: bringing in business, shaping the estimate/price, quoting the customer, negotiating the contract, and managing delivery to completion.
• An in-house estimator supports takeoffs; you are accountable for overall pricing, strategy, and margin.
• The hiring manager is specifically looking for a motivated, commercially-minded PM who wants upside and will help grow market share in a more competitive environment.

ABOUT THE POSITION

• Build and grow client relationships; generate and win new work
• Own pricing and profitability from early-stage pursuit through final closeout
• Compile inputs into estimate/pricing sheets; ensure pricing aligns to scope, risk, and margin targets
• Prepare proposals and quotes; present and defend pricing to customers
• Negotiate contracts, scope, and commercial terms
• Manage projects A-to-Z, including office-based coordination and site visits
• Drive job costing discipline throughout the project lifecycle, including cost-to-complete forecasting and change management

THE REQUIREMENTS

• Strong mechanical construction project management background with HVAC and plumbing exposure
• Proven experience owning estimates/quotes and project pricing (beyond simply executing construction)
• Strong business acumen, including job costing, cost vs. sell, and gross margin vs. markup
• Experience with an established Lower Mainland mechanical contractor and a stable work history
• Comfortable working in-office full time in Burnaby, plus site visits
• Nice-to-have experience includes the following:
  • Multifamily plus commercial new build exposure
  • Some tenant improvement exposure
  • Prior success bringing in work or holding a sales/BD component in a previous PM role

COMPENSATION
