Project Manager

Rasmussen Mechanical Services | Lincoln, NE

Since 1970, Rasmussen Mechanical Services has been a family-owned mechanical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and institutional customers across the Midwest and Rocky Mountains. We've grown to over 200 people across seven locations, but we've kept the small-company feel that's made people stay with us for 20, 30, even 37 years.

We're hiring a Project Manager based in our Lincoln, NE office to lead mechanical construction projects from kickoff through close-out.

This is a true project manager role focused on planning, executing, and delivering mechanical construction projects on time, on budget, and to the standards our customers expect. You'll own the project from contract turnover through final close-out, working alongside our estimators, sales engineers, and field teams.

A typical week might include:

• Reviewing assigned projects in detail, scope, schedule, budget, and contractual obligations

• Walking job sites to plan execution, coordinate logistics, and resolve field questions

• Scheduling crews, materials, and subcontractors to keep projects moving efficiently

• Managing the project budget, approving invoices, processing change orders, and directing progress billings

• Reviewing shop drawings, submittals, and RFIs

• Coordinating with customers on project status, schedule changes, and resolution of issues

• Maintaining the job file — purchase orders, subcontracts, schedule of values, and close-out documentation

• Family-owned, and it shows. The Rasmussens are still here. Leadership is accessible, decisions get made quickly, and people get treated like people.

• The full toolbox. With ten specialized departments under one roof. HVAC, boilers, mechanical construction, controls, reliability, and more — you'll work on projects that span the full scope of mechanical contracting.

• Industry-leading pay and benefits, plus a culture that takes work-life balance seriously.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in mechanical systems, construction, or a related technical field

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent hands-on professional experience

• Strong project management fundamentals, scheduling, budgeting, scope management, change orders, close-out

• Experience reading and interpreting blueprints, specifications, and submittals

• Comfortable coordinating across field crews, subcontractors, vendors, and customers

• Valid driver's license; able to pass a pre-employment drug screen

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills — you can manage multiple projects

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• Good people skills — works closely with management, field crews, vendors, subcontractors, and customers

• Technical aptitude — can read blueprints, interpret specifications, and learn new systems quickly

• Computer literacy with office products and project management software

• Willingness to keep learning — new methods, new technology, new ways to do the work better

Split between office (planning, documentation, coordination) and job sites (walks, field coordination, customer meetings). Some travel with occasional overnight stays as projects require. You'll need to be able to lift 25–30 lbs, navigate active construction sites safely, and communicate clearly in writing and in person.
