  • Ensure strict adherence to PAR Electrical's safety policies, quality standards, and environmental regulations.
  • Monitor field performance, identify potential risks, and implement corrective action as needed.

  • Strong leadership, analytical, and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with an ability to build lasting client and team relationships.
  • Commitment to upholding PAR Electrical's core values of Safety, Integrity, Quality, and Service.
  • Must be based in or willing to relocate to the metro area.
  • PMP certification required within 60 days of hire.
