Project Manager (Field-Focused)

Position Overview

Jansons Associates, Inc. is looking for a seasoned, field-first Project Manager with a proven track record of steering mechanical construction projects from inception to successful completion. Because our work involves sophisticated, complex exhaust installations in demanding environments (such as healthcare, transit hubs, and high-density residential towers), this role heavily favors field leadership and site-level execution over desk management.

• On-Site Leadership: Spend significant time on project sites managing field crews, overseeing complex installations (such as multi-story chimney stacks), and maintaining strict quality control.
• Safety Enforcement: Act as the primary champion for job site safety, ensuring all field activities align with OSHA regulations and Jansons’ corporate safety standards.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the main point of contact for General Contractors, facility owners, and inspectors, representing Jansons with professionalism and technical authority.
• Financial Oversight: Manage project budgets, track labor costs, coordinate material orders, and handle change orders efficiently.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: 8+ years of dedicated project management experience within mechanical construction, heavy MEP, industrial ventilation, or specialty steel erection.
• Certifications: OSHA 30 certification is mandatory.
• Education: A background or degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering is highly preferred/excellent, but equivalent field-management expertise will be considered.
• Leadership Style: A proactive, visible leader who prefers being active in the field, troubleshooting alongside site foremen and resolving layout challenges in real time.
• Logistics Expertise: Proven ability to manage tight construction schedules, crane rigging logistics, and urban site constraints.

Compensation & Benefits

• Type: Full-Time, Permanent
• Benefits: Comprehensive health benefits package, retirement savings plan, and paid vacation/PTO.
• Salary: $100-120K per year/Competitive Based on Experience
