Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt
JSET Automated Technologies specializes in the design, installation, and commissioning of Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) for mission-critical and industrial facilities, including large-scale data center construction projects.
Our teams operate in fast-paced electrical and controls construction environments where safety, quality, accountability, and leadership are critical to success.
We are growing and seeking a Senior Project Manager with experience in data center, electrical, or controls construction who can lead complex projects while developing teams and strengthening execution standards.
Position SummaryThe Senior Project Manager (SPM) is a senior-level leadership role responsible for delivering complex BMS, EPMS, and electrical construction projects from award through commissioning, closeout, and turnover.
This role owns project scope, schedule, financial performance, quality, and client relationships while serving as a key escalation point between field operations and executive leadership.
Senior Project Managers at JSET do more than manage projects-they lead teams, strengthen field execution, manage risk, and represent JSET's standards with clients, general contractors, and internal stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities Project & Financial Leadership- Own the full project lifecycle from kickoff through commissioning, closeout, and warranty
- Develop and maintain project schedules with critical path awareness and labor forecasting
- Manage budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, and overall financial performance
- Lead contract review, buyout strategy, and subcontractor/vendor coordination
- Oversee RFIs, submittals, change management, time & material (T&M) tracking, and change orders
- Partner with field leadership to align manpower planning, installation sequencing, and work plans
- Support commissioning readiness, punch list closure, and turnover documentation
- Verify installation quality, safety compliance, and documentation standards
- Identify and mitigate project risks early to protect schedule, cost, and scope
- Drive accountability and consistency across multiple active job sites
- Provide direct leadership, coaching, and mentorship to Project Managers, APMs, and Engineers
- Conduct one-on-ones, performance reviews, and development planning
- Serve as an escalation point for project and field challenges
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Safety, HR, Recruiting, and Logistics
- Serve as a primary point of contact for owners, general contractors, and commissioning teams
- Lead coordination meetings and provide clear, professional communication
- Protect JSET's contractual and financial interests while maintaining strong partnerships
- 7+ years of experience in electrical, controls, or mechanical construction project management
- Experience delivering complex or mission-critical construction projects (data center strongly preferred)
- Strong understanding of construction scheduling, contract management, and change management
- Proven success managing project financials, labor forecasting, and cost control
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and teams
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, industrial construction environments with regional travel
This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred
- Experience with Building Management Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), or controls
- Data center or critical infrastructure construction experience
- Proficiency with Procore or similar construction management platforms
- Experience mentoring or leading Project Managers and Engineers
- A steady, professional leader who communicates clearly and directly
- Someone who holds high standards for safety, quality, and accountability
- A proactive problem solver who anticipates risk rather than reacts to it
- A mentor who invests in developing people and strengthening teams
- A strong representative of JSET's culture on job sites and with clients
- Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives
- Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with match
- Opportunity to lead high-profile data center and mission-critical projects
- A company that values leadership, structure, and long-term career growth
- Direct access to operational and executive leadership
