one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A junior HVAC project manager quoting under supervision and a business unit manager running a portfolio of large sites don't take the same search. The fee follows that difficulty, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the real scope of the deals doesn't match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
an HVAC project manager is judged by the installation that holds its consumption figures
they're already running a heating or cooling site
They're quoting a new deal, tracking a live HVAC site, or answering an energy tender. They aren't browsing job ads: an HVAC headhunter knows where to find them and how to approach them.
quoting an HVAC deal is neither designing it nor just selling it
The HVAC project manager starts from a heat-loss study usually supplied by a design office, prices the equipment and labour, negotiates, then runs the site through to handover. The headhunter checks that real delivery, not a generic building job title.
a hiring mistake shows up on the client's energy bill
A badly quoted deal runs over budget or misses the comfort promised, sometimes against the tertiary sector decree. The headhunter checks the HVAC deals genuinely run and their margin before introducing anyone.
the roles
the HVAC project manager profiles our headhunters go after for you
From a first priced quote to a portfolio of several sites, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired that profile.
junior HVAC project manager
They quote under supervision and start running their first heating or ventilation sites.
HVAC project manager
They quote, negotiate and run their heating, ventilation and air conditioning deals from quote to handover. The most requested role.
plumbing project manager
They run plumbing and sanitary network deals for homeowners or commercial clients, sometimes alongside heating.
heat pump project manager
They quote and run heat pump installations, equipment growing fast with homeowners and in commercial retrofits.
commercial energy retrofit project manager
They quote works to comply with the tertiary sector decree, from initial diagnosis to handover of the replaced equipment.
HVAC business unit manager
They manage several project managers, set margin targets and become the point of contact for the biggest commercial or industrial clients.
the method
an HVAC headhunter, not an agency that does everything
An HVAC deal is judged by an installation that holds its consumption figures. So the method starts from what the deal has to deliver.
we scope the installation type and the regulation targeted
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, heat pumps, the tertiary sector decree or RE2020: the brief describes the real installation to quote and run, not a generic construction job title.
a headhunter who places HVAC profiles
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those who place the most people in quoting and running HVAC deals.
HVAC deals checked from quote to delivery
The headhunter asks the profile for a deal they genuinely ran: the priced quote, the site hiccups, the margin and the consumption figures once delivered. Then they cross-check with references.

hiring an HVAC project manager: what you need to know
The HVAC project manager quotes a heating, ventilation or air conditioning installation, negotiates it, then runs it through to handover. Good profiles are in post, busy with a site or a quote, and don't answer job ads.
An HVAC headhunter knows how to approach them and ask the right questions: what type of installation, what average deal size, what share of quoting versus site follow-up. You meet profiles who have genuinely run HVAC deals to the end.
HVAC project manager, HVAC design engineer or HVAC maintenance technician: who does what?
read onThe HVAC design engineer designs the installation in a design office: they size the equipment and write the technical specs, without necessarily pricing a commercial quote. The HVAC maintenance technician steps in once the installation is running, to service and repair it. The HVAC project manager sits between the two: they price the installation designed by the design office, sell it and run its execution through to handover.
Set out in the brief where the role starts and stops. A project manager who only quotes and one who also follows the site day to day don't hire against the same profile.
A generalist construction or industrial project manager can run deals across very different trades: electrical, structural, mechanical. The HVAC project manager has specialised in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and sanitary plumbing: they know the price bases, the equipment and the regulations specific to this trade, from the tertiary sector decree to RE2020.
For a role covering several technical trades with no single specialism, see our project manager page.
The CV lists sites and amounts. The interview has to check something else: understanding of a heat-loss study supplied by a design office, and the ability to price the hiccups of a heating or cooling site.
A short case study works well: a simplified heat-loss study, a site hiccup, and the question of how the project manager would adjust their quote. The headhunter runs this first screen before introducing anyone, and checks with references the deals and margins the profile says they delivered.
The tertiary sector decree requires a cut in energy consumption for existing commercial buildings, and RE2020 sets requirements for new ones. Both texts push demand for quoting towards profiles able to price a retrofit, not just a new installation.
According to Uniclima, French HVAC manufacturers represented 23,500 direct jobs and €8.8bn in revenue in 2025: a solid supplier market for the installation companies that employ HVAC project managers. According to FEDENE, 74% of companies in the energy services and HVAC sector have fewer than 10 employees, where a project manager often manages a whole portfolio of clients alone.
your questions about hiring an HVAC project manager
The HVAC design engineer designs the installation in a design office, ahead of any commercial quote. The HVAC project manager prices this installation, sells it and runs its execution through to handover. For a design role, see our HVAC design engineer page.
The HVAC maintenance technician services and repairs installations already running. The HVAC project manager prices and runs new deals, from quote to handover. For a servicing and repair role, see our HVAC maintenance technician page.
The market remains solid. According to Uniclima, French HVAC manufacturers represented 23,500 direct jobs and €8.8bn in revenue in 2025, including €1.8bn from exports, a base that feeds the installation companies where project managers work.
Yes, overwhelmingly. According to FEDENE, 74% of companies in the energy services and HVAC sector have fewer than 10 employees (2025 data): a project manager there often manages a whole portfolio of quotes and sites alone, with no large sales team around them.
