Retail HVAC Program Manager
Position Summary
JLL is seeking a Retail HVAC Program Manager to lead the strategic planning and execution of a large-scale HVAC capital replacement program across a retail portfolio. This role oversees the development and management of an annual capital plan covering approximately 150 sites and a $20M budget. The successful candidate will bring deep technical knowledge of HVAC systems combined with strong program management capability, driving a "Like-for-Better" replacement strategy that prioritizes properly sized equipment, improved maintainability, energy efficiency, and modernized controls.
This individual will serve as the connective tissue between facility operations, strategy teams, vendors, manufacturers, and client stakeholders, ensuring projects move from early identification through completion with accuracy, transparency, and minimal disruption to business operations.
Key Responsibilities
Capital Planning & Budget Management Develop and maintain the annual HVAC capital plan across roughly 150 sites, managing a $20M budget. Reorganize project migration dates, rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates, and scopes on an ongoing basis to ensure accurate capital plan forecasting and budgeting.
Replacement Strategy & Technical Assessment Analyze current HVAC systems at each property and recommend improvements during early planning stages using a Like-for-Better approach. This includes right-sizing equipment to actual space needs, selecting equipment that is easier to maintain, prioritizing energy-efficient models, and upgrading to modern control systems. Lead the removal of R-22 refrigerant systems from the portfolio to reduce maintenance costs and address compliance risk.
Project Lifecycle Management Identify Retail HVAC replacement opportunities and submit Project Request Forms (PRFs). Manage projects from inception through completion, coordinating scope, budget, and timeline across all stakeholders.
Strategic Alignment Align project migration timing with lease-end date objectives provided by the Strategy team and react proactively to shifts in bank strategy and timing.
Stakeholder & Vendor Relationships Build and maintain trust, transparency, and strong working relationships with vendors and manufacturers. Develop strong relationships with Facility Managers to minimize disruption during emergency HVAC situations. Facilitate pre-construction meetings with bank managers prior to installation. Coordinate with Project Delivery Services (PDS) teams on locations with multiple concurrent construction projects to ensure effective cross-team coordination.
Program Governance & Reporting Prepare monthly reports detailing project trends, completions, and program metrics to track collective progress across the portfolio. Lead weekly program calls with Equipment and iC3 teams. Coordinate rebate programs, supply chain management (SCM) activities, and safety discussions. Develop ROM price modeling to support planning accuracy.
Asset Review & PRF Development Review Corrigo data regularly to identify aged assets and properties with low Facility Condition Index (FCI) scores. Meet monthly with MTS Operations Managers to confirm and create PRFs, and submit them to property stakeholders including FM Regional Leads, Engineering Leads, and Ops Managers.
Continuous Improvement Identify challenges during program execution and proactively assess future risks. Develop process efficiencies to support program growth and scalability.
Qualifications
Required
- Strong working knowledge of HVAC systems, including equipment types, sizing principles, controls, and refrigerant regulations (e.g., R-22 phase-out requirements)
- Demonstrated experience managing capital programs or large-scale facilities projects, ideally within a multi-site retail or commercial real estate environment
- Experience managing budgets in the range of $15M-$25M annually
- Proven ability to manage a high volume of concurrent projects (100+ sites) from planning through completion
- Strong vendor and manufacturer relationship management experience
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to property stakeholders and client representatives
- Proficiency with work order and facility management systems (e.g., Corrigo) and ability to interpret FCI data
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage shifting timelines, scopes, and budgets simultaneously
Preferred
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, Facilities Management, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Experience in retail or banking-sector facilities programs
- Familiarity with PRF/capital request processes and ROM cost modeling

Tips for Your Remote HVAC Design Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote hvac design engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current listings, find roles that match your software skills and project experience, and apply directly before competition builds.
Show your design work in a portfolio
Remote employers can't walk through your past projects with you in person, so a PDF or shared folder with completed HVAC design drawings, load calculations, and equipment schedules does the job. Include the project type, your specific scope, and the software you used.
Demonstrate async coordination skills upfront
Remote hvac design engineer roles require tight written coordination with architects, structural engineers, and contractors across time zones. In your cover letter and interview, give concrete examples of how you've communicated design revisions, RFI responses, or clash detection findings in writing without real-time meetings.
Highlight your remote software stack clearly
List the specific tools you use daily: Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Carrier HAP, Trane TRACE, BIM 360, or Bluebeam. Remote employers scan for exact software matches because onboarding time for new tools is slower without in-person support.
Remote HVAC Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote hvac design engineer job?
Target remote-first MEP consulting firms and distributed engineering companies, since they already have the infrastructure to onboard remote technical staff. Remote employers screen for proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD MEP, or Carrier HAP alongside strong written communication and the ability to coordinate with architects and contractors asynchronously. A portfolio of completed design projects, load calculation documentation, and experience with cloud-based file sharing platforms gives you a clear edge over candidates without documented remote work habits.
Which companies hire remote hvac design engineers?
Remote hvac design engineer roles are posted by Bosch, Belimo, and Sargent & Lundy and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The employers hiring most consistently include remote-first MEP consulting firms, distributed architecture and engineering practices, and large commercial contractors with multi-site project teams.
Can you get a remote hvac design engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level hvac design engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently without on-site mentorship from day one. Smaller MEP consulting firms and remote-first engineering startups are more likely to hire junior candidates. Showing completed coursework projects, software proficiency in Revit or AutoCAD MEP, and any internship or freelance design work strengthens your application when direct experience is limited.
Do you need a degree for remote hvac design engineer jobs?
Usually, but a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field is a standard baseline rather than a strict barrier. Remote employers weigh demonstrated software skills, a portfolio of design work, and professional engineering licensure or progress toward it alongside formal education. Candidates with strong Revit, energy modeling, or AutoCAD MEP skills and verifiable project output can compete even when their academic background is non-traditional.
Which industries hire the most remote hvac design engineers?
Remote hvac design engineer roles concentrate in Manufacturing and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire hvac design engineers remotely because their project workflows, file sharing, and client coordination are already structured around distributed teams.
