    About the job HVAC Project Manager/ Estimator


    HVAC Project Manager & Estimator (Design-Build / Retrofit)Licensed 313A | Transition Off the Tools | $80,000–$100,000About the Opportunity

    This role is built for an experienced 313A HVAC professional who has spent 10+ years on the tools and is ready to take the next step — off the tools and into the office, without losing touch with real-world HVAC work.

    Cardinal Services is a well-established, locally owned mechanical contractor in Windsor, specializing in commercial HVAC design-build and retrofit projects. As our volume of retrofit and engineered work continues to grow, were adding a hands‑on technical expert to lead projects from estimate to close‑out.

    If you understand HVAC systems because youve installed, serviced, and troubleshot them, and now want to apply that knowledge to estimating, planning, and managing projects end‑to‑end, this is a rare and well‑supported transition role.

    Youll be trained on Cardinals systems and processes — but real retrofit experience and strong technical judgment are critical.

    Whats In It For You:

    • Salary: $80,000 – $100,000 (based on experience)
    • Office‑Focused Role: Minimal tools, maximum technical influence
    • Design‑Build Exposure: Be involved early, not just after drawings are done
    • Stable, Local Company: Long‑tenured team, Windsor‑based leadership
    • Career Longevity: A sustainable path off the tools without losing relevance
    • Training & Support: Structured onboarding into estimating and PM systems
    • Varied Work: Commercial HVAC retrofits, upgrades, and engineered solutions

    Your Role:

    This is a hybrid Estimating + Project Management position, focused on commercial HVAC retrofit and design‑build work.

    Estimating & Pre‑Construction (Primary Focus)

    • Review engineering drawings, specifications, and site conditions
    • Prepare accurate HVAC estimates for retrofit and design‑build projects
    • Determine labour, material, equipment, subcontractor, and timeline requirements
    • Apply practical field knowledge to identify constructability issues early
    • Support solution design for system replacements, upgrades, and retrofits
    • Price change orders and scope adjustments accurately and confidently

    Project Management (A–Z Responsibility)

    • Manage projects from award through completion
    • Develop project schedules, work plans, and resource allocations
    • Coordinate crews, materials, suppliers, and subcontractors
    • Attend site meetings and act as the primary technical point of contact
    • Track job costing, budgets, purchase orders, invoicing, and profitability
    • Monitor progress and prepare job forecasts and internal reports
    • Ensure all work complies with codes, specs, and safety requirements
    • Oversee close‑out activities including O&M manuals and as‑builts
    • Work directly with clients to assess needs and propose HVAC solutions
    • Communicate clearly with internal teams, field staff, and leadership
    • Build long‑term relationships through technical credibility and follow‑through
    • Support a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement

    What You Bring:

    • 313A Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Mechanic license (required)
    • 10+ years of hands‑on HVAC experience (service and/or projects)
    • Strong background in commercial HVAC systems, including:
    • System replacements and upgrades
    • Hydronics and mechanical building services
    • Solid ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and engineering specs
    • Practical understanding of materials, labour sequencing, and installation methods
    • Interest in transitioning into a primarily office‑based technical role
    • Working knowledge of:
    • ASHRAE, CSA, NFPA standards
    • Strong organizational, communication, and problem‑solving skills
    • Comfortable with MS Office and job costing / project tracking tools
    • Valid drivers license

    We appreciate hearing from you and only those who have the proper credentials will be contacted.
