• Perform regular inspections to ensure ductwork and dry mechanical systems comply with blueprints, codes (SMACNA, ASHRAE, IMC, NFPA), and industry standards
• Enforce strict adherence to OSHA regulations and internal safety protocols on-site

What You’ll Bring

• Minimum of 7 years in dry mechanical and HVAC construction, including 3 years in a supervisory role

• Strong understanding of ductwork fabrication, mechanical equipment, and HVAC systems

• Relevant certifications such as OSHA 30 or HVAC certification are strongly preferred

• Proficiency in construction management software (Bluebeam) and Microsoft Office Suite
