Key Responsibilities:

• Manage all site-based HVAC activities with a focus on heavy ductwork, including large-scale extract/supply systems, fire-rated ductwork, and pressure-controlled environments.
• Supervise the installation of cleanroom-grade HVAC systems (ISO 14644/Class 100–100,000) including HEPA filter housings, VAV boxes, and critical airflow balancing.
• Coordinate closely with project engineers, QA/QC, commissioning teams, and subcontractors to ensure compliance with GMP, FDA, and ISO standards.
• Review and interpret detailed mechanical/HVAC drawings, P&IDs, and cleanroom layouts to ensure accurate and compliant installation.
• Manage RAMS, site inductions, tool-box talks, and ensure adherence to strict HSE protocols.
• Oversee HVAC commissioning preparation and assist in the delivery of validation documentation (IQ/OQ).
• Monitor and report on site progress, subcontractor performance, and material delivery schedules.
• Represent the mechanical team in client and main contractor progress meetings.

Requirements:

• Minimum 5+ years as an HVAC Site Manager or Mechanical Supervisor on pharmaceutical or cleanroom projects.
• Deep knowledge of ductwork installation, HVAC containment systems, air balancing, and critical services in GMP environments.
• Proven experience managing HVAC contractors on cleanroom builds, including coordination with electrical, BMS, and commissioning teams.
• Trade or engineering background in mechanical/HVAC systems.
• SMSTS / SSSTS and CSCS (required).
• Experience working to strict quality control and documentation procedures typical of pharma/life science projects.
• Strong understanding of HVAC commissioning and validation protocols.
• Excellent communication, reporting, and leadership skills.

Desirable:
