Job description

Quoted in full from AlphaX's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.

We’re seeking an experienced Plumbing Project Manager to oversee commercial and industrial plumbing and process piping projects from initial planning through completion. This role requires hands-on experience managing project schedules, budgets, field operations, procurement, subcontractors, and client relationships to ensure projects meet contractual requirements, quality standards, and deadlines.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee commercial and industrial plumbing and process piping projects throughout preconstruction, execution, and closeout.
  • Establish project schedules, budgets, procurement timelines, and execution plans to support efficient project delivery.
  • Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, field crews, and other project personnel to maintain productivity, quality, and schedule commitments.
  • Review plumbing drawings, technical specifications, submittals, RFIs, and change orders to address project requirements and keep work moving forward.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for general contractors, owners, engineers, inspectors, suppliers, and field teams.
  • Monitor project financials, including costs, commitments, billing, change orders, and schedule performance, to maintain profitability.
  • Troubleshoot field issues related to plumbing systems, installation methods, materials, and construction specifications.
  • Oversee material and equipment purchasing, delivery schedules, and availability to ensure crews have the resources needed to complete scheduled work.
  • Lead project meetings and communicate progress, budget updates, potential delays, risks, and outstanding items to relevant stakeholders.
  • Manage punch lists, commissioning, final inspections, and project closeout to ensure all contractual obligations are fulfilled.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of project management experience in commercial or industrial plumbing construction.
  • Proven experience managing commercial plumbing and/or process piping projects.
  • Previous experience with a plumbing contractor, mechanical contractor, MEP subcontractor, or similar construction company.
  • Strong understanding of plumbing systems, construction practices, technical drawings, specifications, and project documentation.
  • Experience overseeing project schedules, budgets, RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and subcontractor coordination.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage plumbing projects independently from initial planning through final completion; MEP coordination or administrative support alone is insufficient.
  • Commercial or industrial plumbing construction experience is required; residential-only project management experience will not qualify.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, problem-solving, and client relationship management skills.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Health insurance options.
  • Retirement plan options.
  • Paid time off.
  • Additional company-sponsored benefits.
