Senior Construction Manager

At Ecosystem, you won’t work on standard projects with off-the-shelf solutions. You’ll take on existing, energy-intensive, and complex buildings—designed at a time when energy was inexpensive. Every mandate is unique and calls for technical rigor, curiosity, ownership mindset and comfort with complexity. 

Here, you won’t be handed a manual. We define what the building needs to achieve, and you’ll have the freedom, tools, and support to determine how to get there. You’ll lead the implementation phase - from pre-construction through day-to day construction activities, delivery and close out - leveraging both your engineering technical background and your project management skills to deliver guaranteed outcomes in safety, client satisfaction, budget, performance.

More specifically, you will:

• Challenge design assumptions and validate that solutions will meet expected energy and performance outcomes.
• Oversee on-site construction operations, coordinating subcontractors, clients, and key stakeholders.
• Drive project success within a highly integrated team working seamlessly from design through execution, with safety and quality always top of mind.
• Act as the technical SME on site, solving complex challenges and identifying efficient, cost-effective solutions.
• Navigate change and scope evolution, balancing cost, schedule, technical performance, and team dynamics.
• Propose, estimate, and present project upgrades to the client.
• Take full ownership of construction execution, ensuring alignment with budget, schedule, and quality standards.
• Deliver an exceptional client experience by owning the relationship, anticipating needs, building trust and driving operational outcomes beyond project deliverables.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent field
• 10+ years owning mechanical construction projects with strong mechanical delivery.
• Strong communication (written and verbal), listening, and negotiating skills in English.
• Knowledge and/or interest in energy systems in the built environment (boilers, chillers, and cogeneration plants)  
• Field-based role with 4-5 days/week on active project sites in New England
• You approach problems by looking beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the true root causes.
• You prefer innovative and original solutions over conventional, ready-made solutions.

• Annual base salary ranging from $140,000 to $190,000 dependant on experience, technical expertise, and skillset, as well as geographic location.
• 401K matching and comprehensive group  insurance  package (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long term disability)— including a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) option with no employee payroll deductions
• Paid time off per year: 10 public holidays, a minimum of 15 days of vacation, and 5 personal days. We have paid time off between December 25 and January 1 when our offices close for the holiday period for a well-earned break.   
• Atypical construction schedule averaging of 45 hours per week.
• Mileage reimbursement from home to site, with on-site lunch expenses reimbursed.  
• Mentorship opportunities and unlimited professional training with no cap
• Thriving people-first culture: we put our values in action in DEI, CSR, Innovation, and Social committees. We celebrate our successes together at Ecofest- watch the video here.
