The Opportunity

The Project Manager I runs smaller special projects from the initial client walk-through through closeout, with guidance from senior project managers. You will scope the work in the field, price it, and execute it.

Special projects move differently from large contract work. Jobs run from a few hundred thousand dollars into the millions, they move fast, and there is often no complete set of prints to work from. Some of it comes directly from the owner and some through a general contractor. Our model favors people who came up through the field, because you have to see the install in your head before you can scope it, price it, or execute it. You will carry your own jobs, with a senior project manager backing you up on pricing strategy and client escalations.

What You'll Do

Scope, Price, and Win the Work

• Walk jobs with clients to scope work, identify constraints, and visualize the install before drawings exist.
• Develop pricing and proposals from field-scoped work, covering material, labor, and equipment.
• Identify constraints and existing conditions that affect cost, sequence, and schedule.

Run the Projects

• Manage assigned special projects from award through closeout, delivering on time, within scope, and within budget.
• Mobilize crews quickly and keep fast-turn work moving against client timelines.
• Prepare Method of Procedures documents that give crews clear execution guidelines.
• Monitor progress against milestones and act on delays, scope changes, and field conditions.

Manage the Commercial Side

• Review purchase orders, submittals, and contracts, and maintain the change order log.
• Price and negotiate change orders.
• Manage project billing, keeping invoicing accurate and on time.
• Process time and material vouchers and track project-related costs.

Work With Clients and Partners

• Serve as the point of contact for owners, facility staff, and general contractors on scope, schedule, changes, and issues.
• Coordinate with general contractors and trade partners, including mechanical, security, and fire subcontractors, to keep scopes aligned.
• Conduct project meetings to review progress and resolve concerns.
• Enforce safety compliance and promote a zero-incident mindset on every project.
• Apply our Standard Operating Procedures and contribute to improving them.

Qualifications

Required

• High school diploma or GED.
• Five (5) years of electrical construction experience, including hands-on field installation experience.
• Demonstrated ability to scope, estimate, and price work from a site walk without complete drawings.

Preferred

• Journeyman-level electrical knowledge and field experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in service, special projects, or fast-turn electrical work.
• Working knowledge of Viewpoint Vista, Procore, or McCormick Estimating.

We recognize that experience comes from many paths. An equivalent combination of education, certification, and experience that results in successful performance of the job is welcomed. Additional education may substitute for required experience on a one-for-one year basis, or vice versa.

Work Environment

This role is based in the office with frequent visits to active jobsites and client facilities. Work is primarily at a desk and on a computer, with regular time walking jobs to scope work and verify existing conditions. Site visits require personal protective equipment and bring exposure to noise, dust, and weather. Expect a fast-paced environment where priorities shift with client needs.
