The Project Manager III is a senior leader in Operations. You will take full strategic ownership of large, high-complexity electrical construction projects and programs, driving them from preconstruction through closeout while shaping how the project management function works.

You will manage projects typically exceeding $10 million in electrical scope, including design-build, EPC, and complex multi-phase programs. Two things separate this seat from the one below it. You will formally mentor and develop Project Manager I and II staff, and you will represent DP Electric directly in client and business development relationships.
