- Subcontractor & Procurement Alignment: Evaluate vendor and subcontractor proposals, align scopes of work, and optimize construction resource planning to maximize proposal competitiveness and project profitability.
- Preconstruction Leadership: Direct post-award planning, work plan development, schedule alignment, and administrative setup to ensure smooth project handoffs to field operations.
- Site Evaluation & Constructability: Perform field site visits, evaluate constructability challenges, assess right-of-way conditions, and mitigate technical risks prior to bid submission.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Education & Credentials: Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, Civil/Electrical Engineering, Business, or equivalent industry experience; Journeyman Lineman background is a strong asset.
- Industry Experience: 10+ years of progressive leadership in construction estimating, project management, or operations on utility-scale electrical transmission and distribution projects.

- Planning & Analysis: Proven expertise in work plan development, risk management, and preconstruction logistics.
- Communication & Travel Flexibility: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present proposals to executive clients. Willingness to travel to project sites and the Canby, OR headquarters as required.
What We Offer
- Competitive Compensation: Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.
- Comprehensive Benefits: Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Retirement & PTO: 401(k) plan, paid time off (PTO), and holiday pay.
- Leadership Impact: Direct influence over high-value project pursuits and strategic corporate growth.
