Senior Manager, Self-Perform Electrical Construction — Lead the Crews That Build It All
McCarran, NV | Full-Time | $160,000 – $200,000
The Opportunity
This 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.
Why You'll Love It
- Command the organization, not just a project: All Nevada self-perform electrical work rolls up to you
- Rare trades-to-leadership path respected here: They want someone who's been a tradesman AND a supervisor
- Complex, high-stakes work: Plant shutdowns, tool installs, and scope additions on operating facilities
- Nevada advantage: No state income tax, Reno-Tahoe living
What You'll Do
- Manage all aspects of the electrical and mechanical self-perform organization — construction, budget, and cash management across multiple projects
- 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; escalate 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
What You'll Bring
- 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
- Experience managing superintendents and crews across electrical and mechanical scopes
- Plant shutdown scheduling and coordination experience
- Bachelor's in engineering or related field a plus; valid driver's license
- Advanced Procore, MS Office, and Excel skills; P6 or similar scheduling knowledge
- Strong risk management, delegation, and executive communication ability
- Comfort with weekend/night/on-call work and physical field demands
- A passion for sustainability
