Project Manager-Electrical
Hays Electrical Services
Job Description
Job Description
With over 18 years of experience and hundreds of million-dollar projects completed, Hays Electrical Services provides excellent service to customers in industries hospitality, commercial and solar.
Hays Electrical Services approaches each project with a cooperative mindset, working with business owners, contractors, and subcontractors towards the common goal – successful project delivery.
We are seeking a highly skilled Project Manager with a strong background in Electrical construction to lead and manage projects from inception to completion. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of delivering projects on time, within scope, and within budget while ensuring compliance with safety standards and quality requirements. Key Responsibilities: The core responsibilities are divided into four critical pillars:
1. Financial Compliance & "Audit Defense" (The Profit Driver)
Because the client reviews every penny spent, the PM serves as the financial gatekeeper to ensure all costs remain billable and reimbursable.
• Bulletproof Backup Compilation: Manage and organize all daily logs, certified payroll records, material invoices, and tool/equipment rental receipts to ensure 100% compliance with the contract’s reimbursable definitions.
• T&M and Extra Work Tracking: Immediately document and formalize field directives, out-of-scope work, and design changes on Time & Material (T&M) tracking sheets, securing signed authorizations before labor is expended.
• Subcontractor Cost Auditing: Review and validate invoices from lower-tier subcontractors (e.g., testing agencies, low-voltage installers, or trenching crews) to guarantee their billing matches contract terms before passing them up to the owner.
• Cash Flow & Accelerated Billing: Package complex Monthly Progress Billings quickly and accurately to reduce client review cycles, lowering the project's Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
2. Schedule Control & Long-Lead Procurement
Data center projects feature exceptionally compressed timelines where a single day of delay can cost the client millions in lost hosting revenue.
• Critical Path Logistics: Actively track major electrical equipment packages—such as medium-voltage switchgear, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules, backup generators, and Power Distribution Units (PDUs)—to ensure factory testing and delivery align exactly with construction sequencing.
• Look-Ahead Scheduling: Coordinate 3-week and 6-week look-ahead schedules with the Field Superintendent, mapping out high-density conduit runs, cable pulls, and busway installations to prevent crew overlapping and labor inefficiencies.
• Commissioning Coordination: Oversee the transition from installation to Level 4 (Component Functional Testing) and Level 5 (Integrated Systems Testing), ensuring all QA/QC checklists and factory test reports are pre-filed and approved.
3. Engineering & Information Management
Managing the massive volume of data, revisions, and technical requirements inherent in complex data center designs.
• RFI and Submittal Leadership: Accelerate the submittal process for complex electrical components and drive rapid resolution of Requests for Information (RFIs) regarding conflicting drawing details to prevent field delays.
• BIM / VDC Alignment: Collaborate with the Virtual Design & Construction team to ensure field installations match the coordinated 3D BIM model, preventing costly re-work on dense overhead cable trays and conduit banks.
• As-Built Documentation: Maintain real-time, red-lined as-built drawings as field conditions change, providing a flawless handover package required for data center operations.
4. Client Relations & Transparent Reporting
Operating in a Cost-Plus environment requires building absolute trust with the General Contractor and the Owner’s representative.
• Transparent Progress Reporting: Provide clear, data-driven updates on earned value, labor productivity, and material tracking during weekly progress meetings.
• Joint Cost Reviews: Conduct collaborative cost forecasting meetings with client auditors to review budget burn rates, ensuring there are zero surprises at the end of the month.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate qualifications and experience are categorized below:
1. Essential Project & Field Experience
• Data Center / Mission-Critical Background: 3 to 7+ years of direct experience managing utility-scale electrical projects, specifically data centers (hyperscale or co-location), hospital central plants, semiconductor fabrication plants, or heavy industrial facilities.
• Large-Scale Electrical Scope: Proven track record managing electrical contract values ranging from $10M to $50M+, involving high-density power distribution systems.
• Cost-Plus & T&M Contract Delivery: Deep familiarity with open-book, Cost-Plus (Cost-Reimbursable) and Time & Materials pricing structures. The candidate must understand strict audit protocols and how to define reimbursable vs. non-reimbursable costs.
• Commissioning Frameworks: Direct experience navigating Level 1 through Level 5 Commissioning processes, with a strong focus on successfully handing over L4 (Functional Testing) and L5 (Integrated Systems Testing/Integrated Systems Demonstration).
2. Technical Knowledge & System Expertise
• Heavy Electrical Infrastructure: Expert-level understanding of data center electrical topologies, including medium-voltage utility substations, backup diesel generators, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) topologies (static and rotary), structural busway systems, remote power panels (RPPs), and SCADA/EPMS systems.
• Code & Safety Compliance: Complete fluency with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety in the Workplace), and OSHA construction standards.
• BIM / VDC Literacy: Ability to read, interpret, and navigate 3D Virtual Design & Construction coordination models (e.g., Navisworks, Revit) to ensure overhead conduit and cable tray runs match field layouts without spatial conflicts.
3. Financial, Administrative, & Software Skills
• Airtight Cost Control & Auditing: Strong accounting literacy; ability to build comprehensive, audit-ready monthly billing packages with exhaustive line-item documentation (certified payroll, vendor invoices, equipment tracking).
• Industry Software Proficiency:
• Project Management: Procore, PMWeb, or Primavera Contract Management.
• Scheduling: Primavera P6 (highly preferred) or Microsoft Project.
• Estimating/Change Management: Accubid, McCormick, or Bluebeam Revu for rapid quantity takeoffs.
4. Education, Licenses, & Certifications
• Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or an equivalent technical field.
• Trade Equivalent: In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 10+ years of electrical trade experience (e.g., transitioning from a Field Superintendent, General Foreman, or Project Engineer) accompanied by specialized project management training.
• Professional Certifications (Highly Valued):
• PMP (Project Management Professional) via PMI.
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction Certification (Mandatory for data center jobsites).
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or an electrical Master License is a strong differentiator. Benefits:
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.
- Opportunities for professional development and training.
Hays Electrical Services is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. We thank all applicants for their interest, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
