- Walk jobs regularly and stay close to the work
- 7–10 years of electrical project management experience, including commercial and/or industrial projects in the $1M range
- Technically fluent: strong on electrical materials and methods, code, and reading and marking up drawings — the field can bring you real questions and get real answers
- Capable estimator: can do takeoffs, price change orders, and pressure-test a bid (Accubid or similar a plus)
- Financially disciplined: knows job cost systems, builds honest projections, and manages to margin, not just to schedule
- Client-facing and commercially sharp: comfortable negotiating change orders, holding a GC relationship, and turning a well-run job into the next one
