McCarran, NV | Full-Time | $160,000 - $200,000
The OpportunityThis is the top field-leadership seat for self-perform electrical work across a major Nevada industrial operation. Our client, a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator, is hiring a Senior Manager of Construction to run their entire electrical self-perform organization - a team of superintendents, electrical and mechanical tradesmen, and multiple concurrent field crews. From preconstruction through start of production, including live-plant modifications under shutdown schedules, you own the safety, schedule, budget, and people.

- Lead a team of superintendents and field crews across electrical and process piping scopes
- Develop schedules, project procedures, staffing plans, and equipment resources
- Conduct weekly safety checks and monthly reviews with EHS support; champion the safety program
- Assess design documents for completeness; resolve spec conflicts and scheduling issues with designers and field teams
- Identify scope conflicts and constructability issues; elevate for leadership support when needed
- Serve as the main point of contact for operations, maintenance, procurement, document control, and government agencies
- Manage plant modifications and scope additions in shutdown-schedule environments
- Approve staffing and equipment needs; advise on procurement methods and contracts
- Lead dispute resolution, project closeout, and debrief cycles
- Coach, mentor, and grow project personnel
- 20+ years of construction supervision; 15+ years managing field personnel
- 10+ years of electrical construction experience as both tradesman and supervisor
- Proven record driving trades crews to safety, schedule, and production milestones
