  • Maintain accurate project records, drawings, correspondence, meeting minutes, and progress reports.
  • Assist with quantity takeoffs, purchasing, commissioning, punch lists, and project handover.
  • Identify and escalate potential delays, budget concerns, material shortages, and coordination issues.
  • Help ensure work meets contractual requirements, technical standards, quality expectations, and safety procedures.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in construction, project engineering, or electrical project coordination.
  • Experience with a commercial electrical contractor or electrical subcontractor preferred.

  • Familiarity with RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement tracking, and scheduling.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, technical specifications, contracts, and schedules.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and construction software such as Procore or Bluebeam.
  • Strong organizational, communication, analytical, and time-management skills.
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable collaborating with field teams, trade partners, vendors, and clients.
  • Willingness to travel to jobsites throughout the Detroit metropolitan area.
  • Experience on healthcare, higher education, institutional, manufacturing, or industrial projects is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.

  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
