Description du poste

DP Electric is a premier commercial electrical contractor with more than 30 years of experience delivering complex electrical projects across Arizona, Texas, and the Southwest. As a 100% employee-owned company, we serve a diverse range of markets including data centers, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, higher education, commercial, and industrial.

At the heart of DP Electric’s success is its dedication to cultivating industry-leading talent. Through our in-house training program, DP University, we equip employees with advanced skills and expertise to meet the ever-changing demands of modern construction. By combining technical excellence with a client-first approach, we continue to set the standard for electrical contracting in the Southwest.

The Opportunity

The Assistant Project Manager keeps electrical construction projects moving from planning through closeout. You will manage billing, budgets, timelines, and progress tracking, prepare the procedures crews work from, and stay close enough to the detail to catch problems while they are still small.

You will support several projects at once, working alongside project managers and coordinating across field leadership, subcontractors, and vendors. The work runs from purchase orders and submittals through change order logs and time and material vouchers, and what you bring to it is accuracy at volume, because a project team can only move as fast as its paperwork can be trusted.

What You’ll Do

Run the Project Controls

• Manage project billing, budgeting, timelines, and progress tracking.
• Process time and material vouchers and track project-related costs.
• Review purchase orders, submittals, and contracts, and maintain the change order log.

Support Planning and Execution

• Support project managers with the coordination, planning, and execution of electrical construction projects.
• Prepare Method of Procedures documents so crews have clear execution guidelines.
• Monitor progress against milestones and address issues before they affect the schedule.
• Contribute to the evaluation and improvement of project workflows and processes.

Coordinate and Communicate

• Coordinate with internal teams to share project updates and keep everyone aligned.
• Conduct project meetings to review progress and resolve concerns.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, or equivalent experience.
• Four (4) years of experience in the electrical contracting industry, focused on project support.

Preferred

• Experience on large commercial construction projects.
• Background in electrical estimating and cost tracking.
• PMP or a similar project management certification.
• Working knowledge of Viewpoint Vista, Cosential, or McCormick Estimating.

We recognize that experience comes from many paths. An equivalent combination of education, certification, and experience that results in successful performance of the job is welcomed. Additional education may substitute for required experience on a one-for-one year basis, or vice versa.

This role is based in the office with regular visits to active jobsites. Work is primarily at a desk and on a computer, with occasional lifting up to 25 pounds. Jobsite visits require personal protective equipment and bring exposure to noise, dust, and weather. Expect a fast-paced environment with concurrent deadlines that calls for accuracy under time pressure.

Why DP Electric

• Competitive pay and bonus target.
• 401(k) with company match, eligible after one year of service.
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). You are an owner of this company.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• Access to DP University, our in-house training program built to grow careers.
• A people-first culture grounded in our core values: Dependable, Opportunity, Raise the Standard, Give Back, Positivity, Family Culture.
