HVACR Install Manager

Job Title: HVACR Install Manager (Hands-On / Former Tech Required)

Location: Moorestown, NJ
Employment Type: Full-Time

About Rite Air Mechanical

Rite Air Mechanical delivers high-quality commercial and industrial HVACR solutions by doing things the right way-clean installs, smart systems, and experienced people who know the work inside and out. We believe strong leadership starts in the field, not behind a desk.

Job Summary

We're looking for a hands-on HVACR Install Manager who has actually been in the field. This role is built for a former HVACR technician who knows systems end-to-end-how they're designed, how they're installed, how they operate, and what happens when something isn't right.

You'll lead installs from planning through startup, but you'll also be on-site, troubleshooting, guiding crews, reviewing parts lists, and jumping in when technical expertise is needed. If you can walk a job, read the drawings, know every major component involved, and confidently lead techs because you've done the work yourself-this role is for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead commercial HVACR installation projects from pre-job planning through final commissioning
• Review drawings, submittals, and full system parts lists to ensure accuracy before work begins
• Serve as the technical authority on-site-answering install questions, solving system issues, and ensuring proper execution
• Coordinate manpower, materials, equipment, and schedules to keep jobs moving efficiently
• Work directly with installers and subcontractors, providing real-time guidance and leadership in the field
• Perform site walks, inspections, quality checks, and system start-ups
• Ensure all work meets safety standards, manufacturer requirements, and local codes
• Communicate clearly with clients, vendors, and internal teams
• Identify install challenges early and make practical, field-tested decisions to keep projects on track
• Mentor and develop installation teams using your technical background and field experience

What We're Looking For

• Previous hands-on HVACR technician experience is required
• Deep working knowledge of commercial HVACR systems, components, and install practices
• Ability to understand and manage entire system builds, not just pieces of the job
• Experience leading installs, crews, or large-scale HVACR projects
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills rooted in real-world field work
• Comfortable working on job sites-not just managing from an office
• Solid communication skills with techs, clients, and leadership
• OSHA certification preferred
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to job sites as needed

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't a paper-pusher position. We're looking for someone who's earned respect in the field and is ready to lead installs the right way-with technical confidence, accountability, and pride in the work.
