The Role We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager who can take the reins on complex projects, from bidding and preconstruction to construction and closeout. You’ll also mentor 1–2 junior project managers, making sure the whole team succeeds. Think of it as leading the charge, keeping projects on time, under budget, and done right - while building strong client relationships and having fun doing it!

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead bidding process, including pre-bid meetings, site walk-throughs, and final proposals.
• Crunch numbers and assemble estimates: labor, materials, subcontractors, and all the costs.
• Negotiate contracts and lock in final scopes.
• Be the go-to person for clients, general contractors, and your project team.
• Mentor and oversee 1–2 junior PMs - guide, support, and mentor.
• Keep everyone on track: schedules, milestones, progress reports, and status updates.
• 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

• 8+ 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.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Opportunity to support complex and large-scale electrical construction projects.
• Collaborative, team-oriented environment.
• Stable and growing organization.
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
