Axia Electric is seeking a highly talented Electrical Project Manager to support the execution of electrical scopes for the Port of Los Angeles Project. This project includes significant electrical, structural, and civil improvements to support shore power — also known as Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) — and modern cruise terminal operations.

At Axia Electric, we are problem solvers. Creative thinkers. Innovators. We approach each project with fresh ideas and big thinking in pursuit of better answers, better outcomes, and better experiences for our clients. We are resourceful, nimble and resilient. We work hard together—and with our clients—to deliver high‑quality projects that are on time, on budget and beyond expectations.

Since the early 1990s, Shimmick has been self‑performing electrical scopes for infrastructure projects. In 2025 the Electrical Division rebranded to Axia Electric, a subsidiary of Shimmick Construction. Axia offers electrical, instrumentation, and process controls expertise for water and wastewater treatment; dams and locks; mass transit and rail; alternative energy; power generation and transmission; and commercial building projects. Our ability to self‑perform this specialty offers additional value and enables us to better control cost and schedule for projects with major electrical and process mechanical scopes.

Our clients include municipalities, water districts, sanitation districts, transit agencies, private developers, DOTs, and USACE.

Axia Electric, headquartered in Riverside, California, focuses on large public owners in several states, across water resources, water treatment, transportation and transit markets. Over the past decade, the division has grown tremendously, securing major projects, including the $350 million North City Pure Water Facility in San Diego and the $235 million EVMWD Regional Water Reclamation Facility Expansion Project in Lake Elsinore, CA.
