The Opportunity

Pro Connect Electric, the electrical division of Mobile Illumination, is seeking a Senior Electrical Project Manager / Estimator – Division Growth Lead to help drive the next stage of growth for its electrical contracting division.

This is not a traditional project manager seat where work is simply handed over after award. The right person will help find the work, estimate the work, win the work, manage the work, and build the systems needed to grow the division.

This role is ideal for a senior commercial electrical professional who has already operated at a high level in project management, estimating, field coordination, and General Contractor relationship-building. Pro Connect is looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to help build a growing division, not someone looking for a cushy lateral move into a fully established structure.

You will step into a company with an established foundation, recognizable project history, and a growing electrical division that needs a proactive leader who can bring structure, relationships, estimating discipline, and execution horsepower.

• Lead electrical projects from bid review through final closeout
• Review plans, specifications, scopes of work, and bid documents
• Perform takeoffs and prepare accurate electrical estimates
• Identify which bid opportunities are worth pursuing based on project type, size, margin, schedule, and company fit
• Build and maintain relationships with General Contractors, estimators, project managers, vendors, and field partners
• Help Pro Connect get onto new GC bid lists and generate repeat bidding opportunities
• Convert estimating opportunities into awarded projects
• Manage project schedules, budgets, labor planning, materials, documentation, and field execution
• Coordinate with foremen and internal field crews to keep work moving efficiently
• Anticipate project risks, scope gaps, change-order opportunities, material needs, access issues, and schedule constraints
• Help determine labor needs and support crew ramp-up or ramp-down based on project demand
• Support hiring, mentoring, and development of field and operational team members as the division grows
• Create and improve SOPs, estimating standards, project workflows, communication processes, and operational systems
• Communicate clearly with internal teams, GCs, vendors, subcontractors, clients, and field crews
• Help shape Pro Connect Electric into a stronger, more scalable, stand-alone electrical business

The strongest fit is someone who is already doing this type of work today.

• Estimate electrical work accurately
• Manage awarded projects from start to finish
• Work directly with GCs and project stakeholders
• Help source and pursue new bidding opportunities
• Lead foremen and field crews
• Build systems and structure in a growing division
• Operate without needing to be told what to do every day
• Bring leadership, urgency, ownership, and follow-through

This is a role for a self-driven electrical leader who understands both the field and the office side of the business.

• Significant experience in electrical contracting, project management, and estimating
• Strong commercial electrical background
• Experience managing electrical projects from bid review through closeout
• Ability to perform takeoffs, build estimates, review scopes, and support bidding strategy
• Experience working directly with General Contractors, estimators, project managers, vendors, and field teams
• Ability to identify viable bid opportunities and help pursue new work
• Experience managing schedules,…
