We are looking for a Project Manager to lead large-scale commercial electrical construction projects within a self-perform electrical contractor environment, with direct ownership over healthcare, institutional, and complex commercial builds.

This role is responsible for driving projects from preconstruction through closeout while overseeing field execution, subcontractor coordination, schedules, financial tracking, and client communication. The position operates within a high-volume commercial electrical environment supporting major long-term projects across Michigan. This is a hands‑on project leadership role for someone who can independently manage multiple active projects while maintaining schedule, quality, and budget expectations.

Responsibilities

• Oversee commercial electrical construction projects from preconstruction through final turnover and closeout
• Manage project schedules, manpower planning, procurement activities, and field coordination across active job sites
• Interface directly with clients, general contractors, inspectors, vendors, and internal operations teams throughout project execution
• Review construction drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, and change orders to ensure project accuracy and execution
• Track project budgets, forecasting, labor productivity, and cost exposure throughout the project lifecycle
• Lead coordination efforts between field teams, BIM/VDC support, prefabrication, and estimating departments
• Identify and resolve scheduling conflicts, field issues, material delays, and project risks before they impact delivery
• Support subcontractor management, progress billing, and documentation requirements for commercial electrical projects
• Maintain clear communication with leadership regarding project status, staffing needs, and operational challenges
• Drive project execution across healthcare, institutional, industrial, and large commercial construction environments

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience managing commercial electrical construction projects
• Experience working for an electrical contractor or self-perform construction environment required
• Strong understanding of commercial electrical systems, construction sequencing, and field operations
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, schedules, and construction documents
• Experience managing multiple active projects simultaneously with direct project ownership responsibility
• Familiarity with project management and construction software such as Bluebeam, Procore, Autodesk, or similar platforms
• Strong communication skills with the ability to lead coordination between field teams, clients, and subcontractors
• Commercial project experience is required; residential-only electrical experience will not be considered

Compensation & Benefits

• $125K–$140K base salary + bonus potential
• Health insurance + benefits package
• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off
• Strong pipeline of large, complex electrical projects
• Collaborative environment with estimating and BIM support
