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.

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

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.
