What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Project Manager - Electric Utilities position at Ready Power USA?
Electrical Project Manager - Electric Utilities | Ready Power USA | New Orleans, LA
About Ready Power
Here's something you won't hear very often: We haven't turned down a single request for time off in two years. Not one. While other companies talk about work-life balance, we actually live it because we treat employees like people whose families and interests matter, not production numbers.
We're not an electrical contractor who dabbles in generators — backup power is all we do, and we've been the Gulf South's go-to specialist since 2009 with over 850 five-star reviews to prove it. Small team, founders still hands-on, and it's a true meritocracy where good work gets noticed immediately.
About This Position
You'll manage substantial commercial backup power projects from bid stage through completion — these are already funded installations, not prospects you need to chase. As the face of Ready Power at pre-bid meetings and the direct liaison between ownership and municipal/facility owners, you'll oversee structural foundations, electrical work, gas fitting, and miscellaneous construction while problem-solving unexpected issues with utilities and inspections.
Everything's handled internally with real-time technical support from our in-house review department, so you're never left hanging on complex problems. Travel is primarily local with occasional out-of-state projects to Texas, and we respect your time with reasonable scheduling.
What We're Looking For
- 3 years of technical project management experience in commercial construction or related fields
- Background in electrical trade
- Strong owner-facing communication skills with municipal and facility owners (not just subcontractor coordination)
- Proven problem-solving ability and attention to detail in construction environments
- Heavy trade skills knowledge including electrical, structural, and mechanical components
- Professional representation skills for client meetings and pre-bid presentations
- Comfortable with frequent travel for job site visits and project oversight
What's In It For You
- Competitive base salary with project outcome-based incentives
- Company vehicle, gas, and equipment provided
- Comprehensive benefits package and generous PTO policy (time-off requests don't get denied)
- Real-time technical support from in-house review department
- Direct access to founders and ownership — your contributions get seen and rewarded
- Specialization in essential infrastructure with consistent municipal and commercial demand
- Professional development opportunities in growing commercial division
