Industrial Piping Project Manager - Mechanical

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of industrial piping projects involving aviation fuel, diesel fuel, and process piping systems. The successful candidate will manage multi-disciplinary teams, ensure compliance with industry codes and safety standards, control project budgets and schedules, and deliver high-quality mechanical installations for fuel handling, storage, distribution, and process systems in industrial, aviation, and energy environments.

Essential Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project management for industrial piping projects, including aviation fuel systems (Jet A, Avgas), diesel fuel systems, and process piping (hydrocarbons, chemicals, utilities).
• Develop detailed project execution plans, schedules (Primavera P6 or MS Project), budgets, resource plans, and risk registers.
• Oversee engineering design coordination (P&IDs, isometrics, stress analysis, material selection) with internal and external engineering teams.
• Manage procurement of piping materials, valves, fittings, pumps, tanks, and specialized equipment, ensuring compliance with project specifications and vendor qualifications.
• Coordinate construction activities including fabrication, welding, installation, testing (hydrostatic, pneumatic), flushing, and commissioning of fuel and process systems.
• Ensure strict adherence to applicable codes and standards (ASME B31.3, B31.4, API 610/650/653, NFPA 30/407, EI 1540/1542, ASTM, etc.).
• Enforce rigorous safety, quality, and environmental standards, particularly for hazardous fuel handling and process systems (HAZOP participation, permit-to-work systems, LOTO).
• Monitor project progress, cost, and performance; prepare status reports, change orders, and forecasts for stakeholders.
• Interface with clients, contractors, inspectors, and regulatory bodies; lead progress meetings and resolve technical or commercial issues.
• Manage subcontractors and site teams; ensure proper documentation, as-built drawings, and turnover packages.
• Support bid proposals, estimating, and technical evaluations for new opportunities in fuel and process piping.
• Drive continuous improvement in project delivery processes, constructability, and lessons learned.
