What we are looking for
- 7+ years managing mechanical or MEP projects, with recent pharma, biotech or cleanroom work
- Hands-on knowledge of WFI, clean steam, purified water or process piping systems
- HVAC and cleanroom pressure cascade experience
- Cost control on self-performed work
- Strong coordination with GCs, owners and CQV teams
- Comfortable leading field crews and foremen
- Based in or near New Jersey or Greater Philadelphia
