Bayliss Engineering Group is an established and growing Perth-based electrical and mechanical contracting business, delivering high-quality construction, engineering and maintenance services across Western Australia.

Our projects span commercial and industrial developments, logistics facilities, education, government infrastructure, hospitals, high-rise developments and complex design and construct installations.

With a strong pipeline of projects and continued business growth, Bayliss Engineering Group is seeking a skilled, ambitious and commercially minded Senior Electrical Project Manager to join our team in early 2027.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced electrical construction professional looking to start the new year with a fresh challenge, greater responsibility and genuine long-term career progression.

Our success is built on strong client relationships, quality workmanship and a commitment to our core values of Quality, Safety and Integrity.

The Opportunity..

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced electrical construction professional looking for greater responsibility, genuine autonomy and long-term career progression.

You will be responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of commercial electrical construction projects, ranging from minor works through to multimillion-dollar developments.

Working closely with the Director, you will lead project delivery, oversee site supervisors, electricians, apprentices and subcontractors, and ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, profitably and to the highest standards.

You will have autonomy over day-to-day project operations, with the support of the Director on major commercial, contractual and strategic decisions.

As Bayliss Engineering Group continues to grow, there is a genuine opportunity to progress into a broader Construction Manager or Operations Manager role, including supporting, mentoring and developing future project managers and construction leaders.

Key Responsibilities..

Manage multiple commercial electrical construction projects from contract award through to practical completion and defects liability.

Lead, coordinate and support site supervisors, electricians, apprentices and subcontractors across multiple projects.

Develop and manage construction programmes, labour allocations, procurement schedules and project resources.

Who We Are Looking For..

We are looking for a motivated and capable professional who understands electrical construction, takes ownership of their responsibilities and has the leadership skills to successfully manage multiple projects and teams.

While previous project management experience is important, we value demonstrated capability, technical knowledge, attitude and leadership ability over a specific number of years in the position.

The ideal candidate will possess:

Proven experience managing electrical construction projects within the commercial building industry.

A strong electrical trade, electrical engineering or equivalent technical background.

Demonstrated ability to manage multimillion-dollar projects, multiple construction teams and competing priorities.

Sound commercial understanding, including project budgets, forecasting, procurement, variations and contract administration.

Strong leadership skills with the ability to guide, motivate and hold site teams accountable.

Excellent organisational, communication, negotiation and problem-solving abilities.

Sound knowledge of electrical construction practices, relevant Australian Standards and regulatory requirements.

Experience coordinating with commercial builders, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.

The confidence to make decisions, solve problems and take ownership of project outcomes.

A proactive, professional and solutions-focused approach, with a strong commitment to quality, safety and integrity.

Highly Desirable Tools..

WA Electrical Contractor's Nominee Licence or eligibility to become a nominee.

Experience delivering design and construct (D&C) electrical projects.

Experience with Procore, Simpro or similar project management software.

Experience developing and mentoring site supervisors, leading hands or junior project managers.

Strong relationships within Perth's commercial construction industry.

What We Offer

Attractive remuneration: $160,000–$190,000 per annum base salary plus superannuation, commensurate with experience and demonstrated capability.

Company vehicle, laptop, phone, uniform: Provided as part of the employment package.

Strong internal support: Work alongside our in-house estimating and administration teams.

Long-term opportunity: Join an ambitious, growing business where your contribution, initiative and performance are recognised and valued.

Why Join Bayliss Engineering Group?..

We are looking for more than someone who can manage construction programmes and attend site meetings.

We want someone who takes pride in delivering successful projects, enjoys leading people, understands the importance of commercial performance and wants to contribute to the long-term success of the business.

This role offers an opportunity to take on meaningful responsibility, influence how projects are delivered and develop professionally alongside a growing company.
