This role is ideal for an experienced mechanical/HVAC industry leader who understands engineering teams, building systems, and technical project environments-but who may come from operations, facilities management, project management, or leadership roles within mechanical or engineering-focused organizations.
The General Manager of Engineering will oversee engineering operations, coordinate technical resources, support project execution, and ensure strong collaboration between engineering, field operations, and project management teams.
This position acts as a senior strategic partner to the President and engineering team leaders, providing leadership in operational planning, technical team management, and overall business growth.

  • Align engineering efforts with company goals and project demands
  • Identify opportunities to improve workflows, processes, and team efficiency

Project & Technical Oversight

  • Help evaluate operational efficiency and identify opportunities for improvement

Client & Business Support
  • Participate in client meetings and technical discussions when appropriate
  • Support proposal development and project planning initiatives
  • Strengthen relationships with internal teams, partners, and clients

Qualifications
Required
  • Bachelor's degree required
  • 15 to 20+ years of leadership experience within a mechanical, HVAC, facilities management, or technical services environment

Strong understanding of commercial building systems, including:

Experience leading teams within organizations such as:
  • Mechanical contractors
  • HVAC service companies
  • Facilities management companies
  • Engineering or technical services firms
  • Commercial building operations organizations
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills

• Mechanical Project Executive
• Senior Mechanical Project Manager
• HVAC Division Manager
• Director of Technical Services

The ideal candidate understands engineering-driven environments and mechanical building systems, but may come from operations, project management, or technical leadership rather than engineering design.
