About this role

You’ll run projects from pre-construction through closeout — set up jobs, manage budgets and change orders, coordinate VDC/BIM and prefabrication, direct field crews and subcontractors, and maintain owner/GC relationships.

• • Manage VDC/BIM and prefabrication efforts: coordinate with VDC/BIM lead and superintendent to produce constructible models and prefab delivery schedules.
• • Create and maintain project schedule and manpower plan; update weekly and drive field coordination to hit key milestones (underground, permanent power, conditioned air).
• • Oversee material management and jobsite logistics: order, receive, inspect and stage material; track equipment and vendor deliveries.
• • Direct subcontractor performance: verify scopes, monitor manpower, manage billing and ensure work meets project requirements and QA/QC standards.
• • Track project financials monthly: billings, WIP, cost-to-complete, change order pricing and status; prepare accurate progress reports for operations team.

What we're looking for

• • 5+ years managing mission-critical electrical construction projects (datacenter or similar) with proven project delivery track record.
• • Strong budgeting and cost control skills: job set up, tracking hours, change order pricing, WIP and progress billing.
• • Hands-on experience with VDC/BIM coordination, prefab workflows, material management and site logistics.
• • Proficiency with construction software and tools (scheduling, estimating/accounting platforms, Excel, Bluebeam, Revit or similar).
• • Ability to travel nationwide for jobsite oversight; reliable transportation and valid driver’s license.

Qualifications

• • 5–10 years construction project management experience on mission-critical or commercial electrical work.
• • OSHA-30 preferred; first aid/CPR recommended.
• • Experience with Bluebeam, Revit/VDC workflows and construction accounting/scheduling software.
• • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel nationally; clear background and drug screen as required.
• • English required; Spanish or other language skills a plus.

What we offer
