Commercial Plumbing Project Manager in Raleigh

Job DescriptionJob Description

PMC is hiring a Commercial Plumbing Manager to lead our growing commercial division. You'll run our commercial projects, lead the field crews, and own the numbers, working directly with the owner and our estimating team. If you've spent years running commercial plumbing jobs and you're ready to run the division instead of just the job, this is that opportunity.

About PMC

Plumbing & Mechanical Corporation of North Carolina is a family-run plumbing and mechanical contractor in Fuquay-Varina serving the whole Triangle. We're known for custom homes, multi-family, and residential fire sprinkler, and our commercial division has grown steadily on tenant upfits, restaurant and QSR buildouts, medical and dental offices, and ground-up commercial work.

• Build and hold schedules, coordinate manpower and material with foremen, and keep jobs in sequence with the other trades
• Lead and develop the commercial field crews: hiring, training, accountability, and growing foremen into leaders
• Own job cost: track labor and material against the estimate, catch drift early, protect margin
• Handle submittals, RFIs, change orders, and pay apps with GCs, and keep job documentation current
• Review plans and specs before mobilization and work with estimating on scope clarifications, VE, and change-order pricing
• Coordinate inspections across Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Durham, Chatham, and surrounding counties
• Enforce safety, quality, and code compliance (NC Plumbing Code; NFPA 99 on med gas jobs)
• Help grow the division through GC relationships, repeat clients, and bid strategy

What you bring

• 7+ years in commercial plumbing, including 3+ years as a PM, superintendent, or division lead
• A track record of running several commercial jobs at once on schedule and on budget
• Solid knowledge of commercial systems: cast iron and PVC DWV, copper and PEX domestic water, MegaPress and threaded gas, grease and oil interceptors, backflow, water heaters and boilers, roof drains, commercial fixtures
• Confidence reading commercial drawings and specs and dealing with GCs, engineers, and inspectors
• Real experience with job costing, scheduling, submittals, and change orders
• Leadership that earns respect on the jobsite
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record

Bonus points: NC plumbing contractor license (P-I or P-II), ASSE 6010/6020 medical gas certification, backflow tester certification, OSHA 30, healthcare or restaurant construction experience, construction management software experience

What we offer

• Pay: $110,000 to $10,000 base, plus a 15% to 20% annual incentive tied to job gross profit. Total target $135,000 to $155,000
• Vehicle: Company truck and gas
• Benefits: Health insurance, paid time off and holidays, retirement plan with company match
• Relocation: Assistance available for the right candidate
• Growth: A new leadership role you get to build, at a company small enough that your decisions matter

PMC is an equal opportunity employer and a drug-free workplace.
