  • Create and manage key project documentation, including:
  • RFIs
  • Change Orders
  • Task Trackers
  • Workforce forecasts
  • Monthly WIP reports
  • Collaborate with field teams to plan pathways, spaces, bonding, grounding, and firestopping requirements.
  • Partner with Safety and QA/QC teams to address field issues, training needs, and compliance requirements.
  • Ensure all work is executed in alignment with company standards, safety protocols, and client expectations.
What You Bring
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage teams and drive accountability in the field.
  • Proven ability to make decisions and solve problems in fast-paced construction environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage clients, field teams, and leadership.
  • High level of organization with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
  • Strong understanding of project scheduling, workforce planning, and material tracking.
  • Ability to adapt quickly, demonstrate urgency, and maintain performance under pressure.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and basic mobile technology tools.
  • Commitment to safety, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
Experience
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in electrical construction project management.
  • Background in industrial, transportation, or infrastructure electrical projects preferred.
Education & Certifications
  • High School diploma or GED required.
  • OSHA 30 certification required.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements
  • Active construction environment with regular standing, walking, climbing, and field engagement.
  • Ability to lift and move up to 50 lbs.
  • Frequent use of hands, tools, and equipment; ability to bend, kneel, and climb as needed.
  • Some travel may be required based on project needs.
