About the company

A well-established commercial construction company in the northwest Chicago suburbs specializing in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical work across commercial, healthcare, and tenant buildout projects. It is growing beyond the Chicago market and is employee-owned through an ESOP.

The opportunity

The company is looking for someone who can become a key partner to Project Managers and field leadership by keeping projects organized, documentation moving, and financial and administrative details on track.

It is a strong fit for someone who understands the construction project lifecycle and enjoys being the person who keeps multiple moving pieces organized, with meaningful ownership rather than a purely administrative role.

Key responsibilities
  • Coordinate multiple active construction projects from award through closeout

  • Prepare, issue, and track subcontracts, purchase orders, and change orders while maintaining accurate commitment logs

  • Manage the RFI and submittal process with architects, engineers, general contractors, and internal teams

  • Serve as a key point of contact for subcontractors, vendors, and general contractors on project administration

  • Partner with accounting and Project Managers on job-cost tracking, monthly billing, lien waivers, and budget reconciliation

  • Maintain accurate, audit-ready project records in construction management systems

  • Support procurement tracking, schedule updates, and long-lead material coordination

  • Own project closeout documentation, including as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, and turnover packages

Ideal profile
  • Previous experience in project coordination, project administration, or construction operations

  • Commercial construction experience; mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or MEP contracting experience is strongly preferred

  • Working knowledge of RFIs and submittals, change orders, purchase orders, subcontracts, lien waivers, and closeout documentation

  • Exposure to job costing, construction billing, budgets, or project financial tracking

  • Strong organization and the ability to juggle changing deadlines across multiple projects

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word, and experience with Bluebeam and construction management software

  • Ability to read mechanical drawings and specifications is a plus

  • An associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Business, or a related field is preferred but not required

Compensation & benefits

The posted base salary range is $57,000 to $67,000, with an annual discretionary bonus, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k), paid vacation and holidays, and life insurance.

Send your résumé, book a call, or apply straight from the LinkedIn posting. Whichever route you pick, one person handles your application from first reply to offer.
