A DAY IN THE LIFE

Total Project Ownership: Lead the flawless execution of large-scale, heavy industrial electrical projects, taking total accountability for safety, budget control, and schedule certainty.
Design-Build Collaboration: Partner closely with GC project managers, in-house engineers, and owners early in the preconstruction phase to define scope, evaluate constructibility, and optimize electrical system designs.
Financial Management: Drive profitability by managing project budgets, approving major equipment and material procurement (switchgear, transformers, etc.), forecasting cash flow, and rigorously negotiating change orders.
Field Liaison & Support: Team up with our Field Operations Manager and on-site General Superintendents to ensure clear project plans are cleanly executed, tracking daily trade productivity and site logistics.
Client & Partner Relations: Serve as the primary, highly responsive communication bridge between PureGrid and major general contractors like ARCO/Murray, ensuring alignment across fast-track nationwide portfolios.
Schedule & Risk Management: Utilize advanced scheduling tools to proactively identify utility interconnection bottlenecks, long‑lead equipment delays, or sequencing issues before they hit the critical path.

Leadership & Communication: Exceptionally strong written, verbal, and negotiation skills, with a pragmatic, hands‑on approach to problem‑solving and a knack for building trust with sophisticated GC partners.
