Job description

Are you looking for a company to excel your career?

Bart's Electric is a full-service electrical and special-systems contractor known for giving customers more service than they paid for. We're hiring a Project Manager to own commercial electrical projects from start to finish — safely, profitably, and to a standard that exceeds customer expectations. This role reports to the VP of Operations.

What you own

• Full lifecycle of assigned commercial electrical projects — schedule, budget, quality, and safety.
• Financial control from day one — building detailed project budgets, tracking expenditures, managing change orders, and protecting margin with the same discipline you'd apply to your own money.
• Monthly manpower forecasting — projecting labor needs weeks ahead in collaboration with your foreman/superintendent, so the right crew is on the right job at the right time.
• Monthly financial projections reviewed with the VP of Operations — identifying cost trends early and course-correcting before small variances become big problems.
• Subcontractor scopes and performance — negotiation, production, submittals, RFIs, and closeout.
• Documentation — submittals, RFIs, contract drawings, daily reports, and foreman time approvals.
• Relationships — primary liaison with GCs and suppliers; coaching field staff alongside the VP of Operations.
• Regular jobsite walks to verify progress, quality, and safety.

What you bring

• 2+ years of construction project management experience, or a bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Project Management, Construction, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage project budgets — you understand cost codes, labor burden, productivity rates, and how field decisions affect the bottom line.
• Hands-on experience with labor and manpower forecasting — you can translate a project schedule into a staffing plan, anticipate crew needs, and adjust proactively as conditions change.
• Strong financial acumen — you're comfortable reading job cost reports, spotting variances, and presenting projections clearly to operations leadership.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Procore, and Bluebeam. Viewpoint Spectrum/Vista a plus.
• Sound, independent decision-making, attention to detail, and strong written and verbal communication.
• Construction background required; electrical field experience is a plus, not a must.
