HVAC Project Manager

Description

Modern Heating & Air is growing, and we're looking for an experienced HVAC Project Manager who wants to be an important part of where we're headed. 

We're looking for someone who knows how to run work at a high level - someone who takes ownership, makes decisions, builds strong relationships, and drives projects from award through successful closeout. You'll have the opportunity to manage work across our offices, work alongside an experienced team, and make a meaningful impact as Modern continues to grow. 

This is an execution-focused role: our sales teams develop the work, and you deliver it - on schedule, on budget, and to a standard that makes customers want to work with Modern again. You'll own the planning, coordination, financial performance, communication, and overall success of the projects assigned to you. 

Just as importantly, we want someone who fits how we work. We're competitive and accountable, but we're also a close-knit team that enjoys working together. We want people who are hungry to succeed, humble enough to work as a team, and excited about helping build what's next at Modern.
