Job Description

Job Description

Design-Build Electrical Project Manager — Commercial Construction (Metro Boston)

Compensation Range: $125,000 - $140,000

A week in this role : You’ll kick off Monday reviewing pre-construction plans with a GC and architect you’ve partnered with for years. Midweek, you’ll be on-site—walking jobs, coaching foremen, and validating that fast-track milestones align with budget projections. By Friday, you’re closing out a project, issuing cost-to-complete updates, and gearing up the next design-build scope. Every project is within driving distance—no hotel nights, ever.

About the Company

Project Managers collaborate directly with ownership, shaping strategy rather than working around it.
