#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | SENIOR ELECTRICAL PROJECT MANAGER | ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR | Northern NJ (NYC Metro)
A privately owned union electrical contractor in the NYC metro area is hiring a Senior Electrical Project Manager to run mission critical data center and hospital projects. Most of its work is in data centers and hospitals, both new builds and live, occupied facilities where power cannot drop, so the PM plans the work to keep it that way. You will lead projects from concept through commissioning, serve as the client’s main contact, and work with engineers to solve design problems before they reach the field. This is an on-site role from the home office or the job site, with no remote work. The company is relationship-driven and keeps its people long term, which gives a strong PM room to grow a team as large projects come in.
