Job Description
Senior Project Manager – Electrical Construction
Type: Direct Hire
Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Salary: $150K–$190K DOE
About the Role
We are partnered with a Fortune 500-backed electrical construction firm to recruit a Senior Project Manager for its San Francisco Bay Area operations, based out of its East Bay office. The firm has built and maintained electrical and low-voltage systems across Northern California for over 75 years, with the financial backing and bonding capacity of a national parent company and the project pipeline of a regional market leader.
This role sits within the firm’s commercial division, anchored in healthcare construction (OSHPD/HCAi hospital and medical facility projects), with commercial tenant improvement rounding out the portfolio. The Senior Project Manager personally runs the division’s most complex and demanding electrical projects while providing day-to-day guidance to a small group of project managers handling their own jobs on an as-needed basis.
This is a senior, hands-on role for a project manager who still wants to lead the work directly. The Senior Project Manager takes on the division’s most significant projects — multi-million-dollar healthcare and commercial electrical builds across the public and private sector — with full ownership of budget, schedule, and delivery, while mentoring and supporting the project managers around them. The position reports to the Division Manager/Vice President and works alongside a small group of fellow senior project managers.
Key Responsibilities
Project Leadership & Delivery
- Personally manage the division’s most complex commercial electrical projects, from preconstruction through closeout
- Carry full responsibility for schedule, quality, safety, and delivery on assigned work
Project Manager Oversight & Mentorship
- Provide day-to-day guidance and technical direction to a group of project managers running their own jobs
- Develop project manager capability and step in on escalations and high-risk situations
Financial & Contract Management
- Maintain full financial responsibility for assigned projects, including budgets, revenue and profit projections, and cash flow
- Own customer pay applications, subcontractor and consultant invoicing, and payment status in coordination with the project team
- Prepare, approve, and submit project budgets
Preconstruction & Risk
- Review estimates, proposal scope letters, and RFQ/RFP documents for subcontractor and vendor solicitation, and participate in the bid review process
- Identify and manage project risks and issues, escalating to division leadership as appropriate
Qualifications
Required
- Extensive electrical construction project management experience at a senior level, with a track record on complex projects
- Substantial healthcare construction (OSHPD/HCAi) experience
- Union (IBEW) contractor experience
- Full financial responsibility for multi-million-dollar electrical projects, including budget, schedule, and cash flow management
- Experience guiding or overseeing other project managers, not just field crew leadership
Preferred
- Familiarity with Procore and Accubid
- Established Bay Area subcontractor and vendor relationships
Compensation & Employment
Employment Type: The selected candidate will be hired as a full-time employee directly with our client.
Salary: $150K–$190K, depending on experience
Benefits: Comprehensive benefits provided directly by our client, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off
Work Model: On-site; East Bay, San Francisco Bay Area
Schedule: Monday through Friday, standard daytime hours; up to 10–20% travel to active Bay Area job sites
Relocation: Required if not within commutable distance of the San Francisco Bay Area
Why Join Our Client
You would join one of Northern California’s most established electrical contractors — nearly 80 years in the market, backed by a Fortune 500 parent, with deep bonding capacity and a steady pipeline of complex commercial and healthcare work. For a seasoned project manager, it is a place to lead high-profile, challenging work, build a team, and grow with the stability a smaller shop cannot offer.
Innovation Consulting LLC is an equal opportunity employer and recruiter. We review candidates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic.
