Project Manager - Commercial Electrical Construction

We are hiring an experienced Commercial Electrical Project Manager to take ownership of large, technically complex electrical construction projects across healthcare, hospital, university, and institutional environments.

This role is part of a self-performing electrical contractor where Project Managers are directly involved in field execution, financial performance, manpower coordination, and client relationships. You will lead projects from preconstruction turnover through final closeout, supported by dedicated estimating, BIM/VDC, field leadership, and executive teams.

The ideal candidate has managed commercial electrical projects for an electrical contractor—not solely from the general contractor side—and understands how to balance field production, schedule demands, cost control, quality, and customer expectations.

Responsibilities

• Lead commercial electrical projects from preconstruction and project turnover through final completion
• Develop execution plans, project schedules, procurement timelines, and manpower requirements
• Coordinate electricians, foremen, vendors, subcontractors, general contractors, and internal support teams
• Serve as the primary contact for clients, inspectors, general contractors, and other project stakeholders
• Review electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, scopes of work, and construction schedules
• Manage RFIs, submittals, material procurement, change orders, billing, and project documentation
• Track labor productivity, project costs, forecasting, committed expenses, and overall profitability
• Partner with estimating teams to confirm scope, budget, exclusions, and project assumptions during turnover
• Work with BIM/VDC teams to resolve coordination conflicts and support efficient field installation
• Identify labor, material, scheduling, and cost risks before they affect project delivery
• Lead project meetings and provide clear updates regarding progress, financial performance, staffing, and open issues
• Maintain accountability for safety, quality, schedule, budget, and client satisfaction
• Complete punch-list, closeout, turnover, and final documentation requirements

Requirements

• At least 5 years of commercial electrical construction project management experience
• Direct experience working for an electrical contractor or self-performing electrical construction company
• Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems, field operations, installation sequencing, and manpower planning
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects independently from startup through closeout
• Experience overseeing project budgets, cost forecasting, billing, labor performance, and change orders
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, schedules, and construction documents
• Proven experience coordinating field teams, general contractors, vendors, subcontractors, and internal departments
• Strong leadership, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
• Commercial electrical experience is required; residential-only and GC-only backgrounds will not be considered

Benefits

• $125,000–$140,000 base salary
• Performance-based bonus potential
• Health insurance and benefits package
• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off
• Stable backlog of large-scale commercial electrical projects
• Dedicated estimating and BIM/VDC support
• Opportunity to lead complex, high-visibility projects within a growing electrical contractor

This opportunity is well suited for an experienced electrical construction professional who wants full project ownership, strong internal resources, and direct responsibility for both field execution and financial results.
