Senior Project Manager

DP Electric is a premier commercial electrical contractor with more than 30 years of experience delivering complex electrical projects across Arizona, Texas, and the Southwest. As a 100% employee-owned company, we serve a diverse range of markets including data centers, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, higher education, commercial, and industrial.

At the heart of DP Electric’s success is its dedication to cultivating industry-leading talent. Through our in-house training program, DP University, we equip employees with advanced skills and expertise to meet the ever-changing demands of modern construction. By combining technical excellence with a client-first approach, we continue to set the standard for electrical contracting in the Southwest.

The Senior Project Manager leads the project managers who deliver our largest electrical construction work. You will be accountable for the performance of a PM team and for everything in their combined portfolio, from schedule and budget through client relationships and safety.

This seat is a shift from running projects to running the people who run projects. You will hire, coach, and develop the project managers on your team, step in as the senior escalation point when something exceeds their authority, hold executive-level client relationships across the portfolio, and help set the standards the whole project management function works to. The role calls for a track record as a strong individual project manager and evidence that you can raise the performance of others.

• Serve as the senior point of escalation for complex project issues, client disputes, scope conflicts, and field execution challenges that exceed project manager authority.
