We specialize in mechanical construction contracts in the $3 million to $20 million range, as well as the tenant renovation market, involving variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, which are our specialty, as well as conventional HVAC systems. Our objective is to be able to be the first subcontractor on the job and to execute the contract as quickly and as efficiently as possible. To support that objective, you will create an environment that fosters a mindset focused on profitable growth through Lean Construction processes.

You will have ultimate responsibility for completing projects on schedule and on budget while meeting the customers’ quality and contractual requirements. You'll also work closely with estimators and with field operations to assure seamless communication throughout the life of the project, with no "gray areas" regarding who is responsible for what. We sometimes pursue bids, but most work is negotiated, based in large part on relationships. You will take point on maintaining solid relationships with subcontractors and vendors (plumbers, insulators, etc.). In addition, we install from our own sheet metal shop, so you'll coordinate with the plant manager.

Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

Strategic and tactical impact
You also will support company-wide initiatives to enhance infrastructure, including driving improvements in the project management organization. You'll also advise the president regarding current projects and future direction.

Professional development
We believe in treating each employee as an individual with advancement opportunities based on their ambition, capabilities, and performance. As we grow you may have opportunities to expand your team and take on additional responsibilities. In addition, we are always looking for new markets and lines of business to pursue.

Staying ahead of the curve
Anderson Mechanical Services is different from others in our space. For one thing, our expertise in variable refrigerant flow (VRF) allows us to offer customers a solution that reduces energy consumption compared to traditional chilling systems. We're also proactively updating systems and implementing Lean Construction processes to enhance efficiency.

Great environment
You'll find a fast-paced environment and entrepreneurial spirit here, and people enjoy working together toward shared goals.

Strong values
Certain values have guided our family-run company for two generations, and we believe they are crucial to our success:

• Unmatched quality and efficiency are our top priorities.
• Integrity has been the foundation of AMSI since the company started in 1988.
• Customer satisfaction is essential in a competitive industry -- our relationships with customers is our lifeblood.

Excellent compensation
AMSI invests in our team. We invest in our employees' long-term growth by providing up to $1,000 annual work-related tuition reimbursement. We also care about the health and welfare of our employees by offering great benefits, including medical, dental and vision care -- AMSI pays 80% of the employee’s cost. Other benefits include life insurance, a 401(k) plan and health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) that covers your medical deductible, co-pays, and coinsurance. Employees also have the opportunity to contribute to the 401(k) and AMSI will match up to 4%.

To excel in this role you will build rapport and trust not only with your team but also with customers and subcontractors. You should bring a strong customer service approach along with thick skin. If you're the person we're looking for, you know that conflict is a regular part of the job. Not only should you be comfortable dealing with conflict, but you should also enjoy resolving it.

We realize that there will be a learning curve as you come on board, but we'll also expect you to leverage your experience and expertise to start making contributions right away. You'll support company-wide efforts to implement greater structure and discipline. As you help manage change, you should leverage your leadership and interpersonal skills to influence and motivate others.

The pace is fast and stress can run high at times. You should be the stable "anchor" for your team in those circumstances, modeling a level-headed approach to working through it all. In general, as a leader, you should articulate common goals, clarify expectations, provide support and hold people accountable.
