Overview:

• Manage electrical construction projects end-to-end, or support senior PMs on large-scale work — covering scheduling, budget tracking, subcontractor coordination, and contract compliance
• Own the electrical infrastructure scope: low-voltage and medium-voltage cabling, conduit and raceway systems, cable tray, support structures, medium-voltage terminations, site grounding, and cable trench installations
• Monitor project accounting and profitability; flag variances early and keep the project on track financially
• Maintain working relationships with clients, vendors, inspectors, and community officials — keeping communication clear and proactive from project start through closeout
• Deliver projects on schedule and within budget; this role is accountable for outcomes, not just activity
• Support field staff performance and vendor compliance on assigned projects

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• High school diploma or GED required, plus one of the following: bachelor's degree in construction, electrical engineering, or a related field; OR 5+ years of electrical construction field trade experience; OR equivalent combination
• 3+ years of direct electrical construction project management experience on large-scale commercial or industrial projects, with hands-on responsibility for electrical construction activities (not oversight of an electrical sub)
• Demonstrated experience managing low-voltage (120V–600V AC) and/or medium-voltage (>600V AC) systems, conduit/raceway, cable tray, site grounding, and related load calculations
• Experience in Mission Critical or Advanced Technology environments strongly preferred — data center electrical construction experience is a significant plus
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Valid driver's license, clean MVR; able to pass background check and drug screen
• Ability to meet jobsite security requirements (required for mission critical environments)
