We are specifically looking for someone who has managed commercial electrical projects while working directly for an electrical contractor. The right candidate understands electrical field operations, manpower planning, labor productivity, procurement, cost forecasting, and project profitability—not just general contractor coordination.

You will take full ownership of projects from preconstruction turnover through final closeout.

  • Review electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, scopes of work, and construction schedules
  • Oversee RFIs, submittals, change orders, material procurement, project documentation, and closeout requirements
  • Partner with estimating and BIM/VDC teams to confirm scope, resolve coordination issues, and support efficient field installation
  • Lead project meetings and communicate clearly with clients, inspectors, general contractors, and company leadership
  • Identify labor, material, scheduling, coordination, and cost risks before they affect project delivery
  • Maintain accountability for safety, quality, schedule, budget, and client satisfaction across multiple active projects

Requirements

  • 5 years of commercial electrical construction Project Management experience
  • Direct experience working for an electrical contractor or self-performing electrical construction company
  • Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems, installation sequencing, manpower planning, and field production
  • Proven ability to independently manage projects from startup through final closeout
  • Experience managing project budgets, labor costs, forecasting, billing, procurement, and change orders
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, schedules, and construction documents
  • Experience coordinating field leadership, general contractors, vendors, subcontractors, and internal departments
  • Strong leadership, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage technically complex projects while maintaining financial and operational accountability

Benefits

  • $125,000-$140,000 base salary
  • Performance-based bonus potential
  • Health insurance and benefits package
  • Retirement plan options
  • Paid time off
  • Stable backlog of large-scale commercial electrical projects
  • Dedicated estimating and BIM/VDC support
  • Opportunity to lead complex, high-visibility projects within a growing electrical contractor

This opportunity is ideal for an electrical construction professional who wants full project ownership, strong internal resources, and direct responsibility for both field execution and financial performance.
