Job description

Job Description: Electrical Construction Manager (Industrial & Data Centers)

Job Summary

We are seeking a results-driven Electrical Construction Manager specializing in Industrial and Mission-Critical Infrastructure to oversee the complete execution of our high-capacity electrical projects. In this role, you will be responsible for the strategic planning, budgeting, procurement, and comprehensive oversight of electrical construction activities from preconstruction through final commissioning. You will act as the primary liaison between executive leadership, engineering teams, field superintendents, and the client, ensuring that complex power systems are delivered safely, on schedule, and within contractual budget boundaries.

Core Duties and Responsibilities

Project Lifecycle Management: Oversee the entire electrical scope of industrial facilities and hyperscale data center builds, ensuring full alignment with contract documents, budgets, and master project schedules.

Engineering & BIM Coordination: Partner with design engineers and BIM coordinators to review 3D visual management models (e.g., Revizto), resolve constructability conflicts, and finalize cable tray, conduit, and heavy equipment layouts before field installation.

Financial & Change Management: Manage project costs, track labor productivity, perform material take-offs, and negotiate technical change orders with subcontractors and facility owners.

Critical Infrastructure Oversight: Supervise the procurement, delivery, and installation strategy for heavy electrical infrastructure, including medium-voltage substations, high-capacity switchgear, redundant UPS systems, diesel backup generators, and automatic transfer switches (ATS).

Commissioning Integration (Levels 1-5): Lead the electrical operational strategy through all phases of facility commissioning. Utilize technical tracking applications (such as CX Alloy) to systematically document testing milestones and close out complex engineering deficiencies.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Champion a strict zero-accident site culture. Ensure all site operations comply with OSHA, NFPA 70E (Arc Flash Safety), local municipal permits, and state regulatory licensing bodies.

Contractor & Vendor Management: Qualify, select, and manage specialty electrical subcontractors and equipment vendors, establishing clear key performance indicators (KPls) for quality and schedule adherence.

Executive Reporting: Maintain precise daily and weekly construction logs, manloading tracking metrics, and progress charts. Provide transparent, high-level project health updates to executive stakeholders and client representatives.

Required Qualifications

Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, or a related field—paired with a minimum of 7-10 years of direct construction management experience on heavy industrial projects or mission critical data center facilities. Equivalent hands-on field leadership experience (e.g., Senior Superintendent background) will be heavily considered.

Technical Mastery: In-depth knowledge of complex industrial electrical systems, medium-voltage distribution architectures, control schematics, and building automation interface logistics.

Regulatory & Code Compliance: Deep familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NEC), local industrial building ordinances, and standard quality assurance testing mechanisms (such as insulation-resistance, ground-fault, and thermal imaging tracking).

Software Proficiency: Strong proficiency with advanced construction management tracking tools, scheduling software (Primavera P6 or MS Project), and 3D design coordination platforms.

Leadership & Communication: Exceptional communication, contractual negotiation, and multi-disciplinary coordination skills. Proven capability to manage tight schedules and high-pressure deadlines.
