Why Consider This Opportunity?
Unlike a traditional Electrical Project Manager position, this role offers the chance to take ownership of a growing division within a well-established commercial construction company.
You'll have the opportunity to build your own team, strengthen existing client relationships, bring in new business, and directly influence the growth and direction of the electrical division.
This position is especially well suited for an experienced Electrical Project Manager, Senior Electrical Project Manager, or Electrical Operations professional looking to step into a broader leadership role.
