Technical Project Director (Construction Building Mechanical Systems)

Who we are At Ecosystem, we believe we should be accountable for results. That’s why we've integrated engineering and construction, seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And that's how we can efficiently solve complex energy challenges in the built environment. Here are some of the projects we've been working on recently: Adelphi University, Brown University, and San Diego Padres Stadium. Why this role matters This role is central to delivering on our strategic ambition: to scale our impact while staying true to our unique identity. As we take on increasingly ambitious projects, the challenge is to maintain breakthrough outcomes and a phenomenal experience for both clients and employees. Project Directors are the linchpin of this promise—ensuring autonomous, coherent project delivery across regions, supported by a strong, lean central core. What you will do Picture this: your morning begins with a strategic call to a client who’s counting on you to keep their multi-million-dollar retrofit on track. By midday, you’re walking through a mechanical room with your team, troubleshooting a technical challenge that could make or break the project’s critical path. In the afternoon, you’re mentoring a junior engineer, helping them connect today’s decisions to tomorrow’s success. Before the day ends, you’re aligning budgets and guarantees with a Senior Project Director—because at Ecosystem, we own the outcome. Every day brings a mix of strategy and action: influencing client expectations, steering technical solutions, and fostering a team culture where collaboration and curiosity thrive. You’ll lead projects that matter— for our clients and for our dedicated employees. You’ll face challenges that demand both technical depth and leadership finesse: How do you deliver guaranteed results on a project with tight timelines and evolving client needs? How do you inspire a team to push boundaries while keeping safety and profitability front and center? How do you turn a complex HVAC retrofit into a success story that strengthens our reputation?
