Senior Electrical Project Manager Travel to Job Sites About the Role We're looking for a driven commercial electrical leader ready to spearhead the next big stage of growth for an established electrical contracting division. This isn't a traditional PM seat where projects just land on your desk after the award — this is a build-it role. You'll hunt down the work, estimate it, win it, run it, and put the systems in place to scale the division to the next level. You'll be stepping into a company with a strong foundation and a track record of standout projects — but the electrical division is growing fast and needs a driven leader who brings structure, relationships, estimating sharpness, and serious execution horsepower. If you're energized by the idea of building something bigger, not just settling into a seat someone else already built, this is your role. What You'll Do Estimating & Business Development • Review plans, specifications, scopes of work, and bid documents • Perform takeoffs and prepare accurate electrical estimates • Evaluate bid opportunities based on project type, size, margin, schedule, and company fit • Build and maintain relationships with GCs, estimators, project managers, vendors, and field partners • Help the company get onto new GC bid lists and generate repeat bidding opportunities • Convert estimating opportunities into awarded projects Project Management & Field Execution • Lead electrical projects from bid review through final closeout • Manage project schedules, budgets, labor planning, materials, and documentation • Coordinate with foremen and field crews to keep work moving efficiently • Anticipate risks, scope gaps, change-order opportunities, material needs, and schedule constraints • Support labor planning and crew ramp-up/ramp-down based on project demand Division Growth & Leadership • Support hiring, mentoring, and development of field and operational team members • Build and improve SOPs, estimating standards, workflows, and communication processes • Communicate clearly across internal teams, GCs, vendors, subcontractors, clients, and field crews • Help shape the electrical division into a stronger, more scalable, stand-alone business What We're Looking For The strongest fit is someone already doing this work today — comfortable operating across both the field and the office, and able to work without being told what to do every day. You bring leadership, urgency, ownership, and follow-through. Required Qualifications • Significant experience in commercial electrical contracting, project management, and estimating • Proven experience managing electrical projects from bid review through closeout • Ability to perform takeoffs, build estimates, review scopes, and support bidding strategy • Direct experience working with GCs, estimators, project managers, vendors, and field teams • Ability to identify viable bid opportunities and help pursue new work • Experience managing schedules, budgets, labor planning, materials, field execution, and documentation • Ability to lead foremen and coordinate internal field crews • Experience with projects ranging from approximately $20K to $1M+ in electrical scope • Strong communication, leadership, organization, and follow-through • Comfort with digital tools, communication platforms, and estimating/project documentation systems • Willingness to work in-office and travel to job sites, up to 25% across Southern California Preferred Qualifications • 8+ years of electrical industry experience • Electrical license or certification • Experience estimating and managing the same projects from bid through completion • Existing relationships in the Southern California commercial construction market • Experience helping grow, scale, or professionalize an electrical division or business unit • Experience creating SOPs, estimating standards, labor planning processes, or PM workflows • Experience hiring, mentoring, or managing electricians, foremen, journeymen, or field crews • Experience with tenant improvements, commercial buildouts, multifamily, lighting controls, medical facilities, public works, or prevailing wage projects • Experience with digital estimating software, Microsoft Teams, and modern project communication tools • Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, business, or a related field Best-Fit Candidate Profile • A senior electrical project manager with strong estimating experience, or an estimator who has also managed awarded projects • A commercial electrical leader who knows how to build General Contractor relationships and win work • A hands-on operator who can create structure, not just follow an existing one • A relationship-builder who earns trust with General Contractors, estimators, PMs, vendors, and field crews • A growth-minded leader motivated by ownership, accountability, and long-term impact
