We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead commercial and industrial electrical construction projects in an electrical subcontractor environment. This is a hands-on leadership role with full ownership of projects from preconstruction through closeout, overseeing project execution, field operations, client relationships, budgets, and schedules. AlphaHire is recruiting on behalf of a client specializing in commercial and industrial electrical construction, including design-build, service, low-voltage, fire alarm, and solar installations. This position is ideal for an experienced project manager with strong field knowledge who can quickly step in and lead multiple active projects.

Responsibilities

• Oversee multiple commercial and industrial electrical construction projects from award through final closeout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, procurement plans, and labor forecasts to ensure successful project execution.
• Lead field supervisors, foremen, subcontractors, and vendors to maintain productivity, quality, and safety standards.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for owners, general contractors, engineers, and inspectors throughout each project.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and change orders to ensure accurate project execution.
• Monitor project costs, prepare financial forecasts, and implement corrective actions to maintain profitability.
• Lead project meetings and provide regular updates on schedule, progress, risks, and financial performance.
• Resolve field issues, coordinate design clarifications, and support successful commissioning and project turnover.
• Ensure all work complies with applicable codes, contract requirements, and company quality standards.

Requirements

• 5+ years of project management experience in commercial or industrial electrical construction.
• Strong field experience with commercial electrical installations and construction operations.
• Valid Connecticut electrical license is required.
• Experience working for an electrical contractor or electrical subcontractor is strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Proficiency with construction project management software such as Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, or similar platforms.
• Must have direct ownership of commercial electrical projects from start to finish, not solely project coordination experience.
• Ability to start within the next month is highly preferred.

Benefits

• Compensation: $100,000–$110,000 annually, based on experience.
• Benefits include a 401(k), with additional benefits and program details to be discussed during the interview process.
