• Determine equipment, material, and manpower needs, and allocate resources throughout each phase of the project.
• Champion job site safety and ensure all applicable safety protocols are followed consistently.
• Identify risks early, resolve issues proactively, and communicate clearly with the General Manager and project stakeholders.
• Mentor construction workers, junior team members, and direct reports by setting expectations, providing feedback, and supporting their development.
• Support consistent processes, training, and project management practices that strengthen team performance and project delivery.

What You Bring

• Experience managing electrical construction projects from pre-construction through closeout, including budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and field operations.
• Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring teams, driving accountability, and delivering successful project outcomes.
• Knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC), construction practices, permitting requirements, and job site safety standards.
• Proficiency with project management software such as Procore; estimating software experience is a plus.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, problem‑solving, and relationship‑building skills.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast‑paced construction environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
• PMP certification or equivalent project management credential is a plus.
