CTM: Plumbing Production Manager
About CT Mechanical
CT Mechanical is a commercial mechanical contractor and a division of Comfort Temp Company, one of Florida's most established mechanical contractors. We build large-scale plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems for commercial and industrial clients across the state.
Our Gainesville office is growing, and we need a Production Manager who leads from the front. You know how plumbing work actually gets done, you hold people accountable, and you keep production moving without someone checking on you.
The Role
This is a field leadership job. You'll turn project plans into real production on the jobsite: managing manpower, backing up your superintendents and foremen, clearing obstacles, and making sure work gets done safely, on time, and done right.
It's also a desk job. You'll track production data, build staffing schedules, document field issues, and keep project managers and senior leadership informed. If you're only comfortable in the field or only comfortable in the office, this isn't the role for you. We need someone who's good at both.
What Success Looks Like
In your first 90 days, you will have:
Built relationships with your superintendents and field crews and earned their trust
Identified the biggest production obstacles on active Gainesville projects and started removing them
Put in place, or improved, manpower tracking and reporting
Been a consistent presence on jobsites and in the office
Kept senior leadership informed on field performance, staffing gaps, and risks
Long term, success means production is predictable, your team is held accountable with respect, problems get raised early, and work moves the way it should.

What We're Looking For
Required
5+ years of hands-on commercial plumbing construction experience
Proven experience leading field crews, foremen, or superintendents in commercial construction

Experience managing multiple active projects or jobsites at once
