Director of Commercial Mechanical Construction - 3499157

This is a true build‑and‑own opportunity. A growing commercial mechanical contractor is launching a new commercial HVAC construction division and is hiring a senior leader to take full ownership. Strategy, relationships, execution, and P&L. This role is not maintenance mode.

• Launching and leading a new construction division, not inheriting one
• Immediate ability to leverage existing GC relationships to drive revenue
• Full P&L ownership with real upside tied to performance
• Strong back‑office, service infrastructure, and executive support already in place
• EOS‑run organization with clarity, accountability, and structure

• Build and scale the commercial HVAC construction division from the ground up
• Hire, lead, and develop project managers, estimators, and field leadership
• Establish estimating, project execution, job costing, and operational standards
• Align construction and service offerings for long‑term client value
• Own EOS execution for the division including Rocks, Scorecards, and L10s

• Leverage existing GC and developer relationships to secure immediate work
• Lead preconstruction, proposals, negotiations, and project pursuit strategy
• Build a consistent pipeline across commercial, institutional, and light industrial markets
• Represent the company with GCs, developers, and industry partners

• Oversee estimating, scheduling, procurement, and field execution
• Ensure projects hit schedule, margin, quality, and safety targets
• Own division P&L, forecasting, backlog, and labor utilization
• Deliver consistent job costing and financial visibility

• 5–7+ years in commercial HVAC construction
• Proven GC‑facing leadership with repeat business
• Experience delivering projects in the $300K to $2M+ range
• Strong mechanical and construction knowledge
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and scale
• Comfortable owning outcomes, not just managing tasks
• Experience with EOS is a plus, not a requirement
• Launch the construction division and reach profitability
• Build roughly $8M in backlog through existing relationships
• Establish a complete operational team and execution rhythm
• Deliver projects within ±3% of estimated margin
• Drive high repeat business and client satisfaction

• Base salary $150K–$200K depending on experience
• Performance-based profit sharing tied to division results
• Vehicle or allowance
• Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO
