• Monitor budgets, forecast costs, and keep projects profitable.
• Coordinate with other trades, superintendents, foremen, and safety teams to make sure everything runs smoothly and safely.
• Handle all project paperwork like a pro: submittals, contracts, POs, and revisions.
• Communicate any delays, scope changes, or cost impacts and make sure solutions are in place.

What We’re Looking For:

• 10+ years in electrical project management and estimating.
• Experience managing large-scale projects ($30M–$200M).
• Leadership experience mentoring junior project managers or teams.
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office and estimating software (Accu-Bid, McCormick).
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience preparing estimates over $1M.
• Design-build experience is a plus.
• Background in Institutional, Automotive, or Heavy Industrial electrical projects is a must.
• Strong relationship-building skills with clients, vendors, and teams.
• Pre-employment drug testing required.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Lead exciting, high-profile projects with real impact.
• Mentor the next generation of project managers.
• Collaborate with a skilled, dedicated team in a respected, growing company.
• Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.
