The posting

A well-established, self-performing commercial electrical contractor in the Detroit metro area is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead commercial electrical projects from start to finish. Supported by in-house estimating and BIM/VDC teams and a consistent backlog of large-scale work, this role offers true project ownership, from initial budgeting through commissioning and final closeout.

The ideal candidate has built a career on the self-perform side of the electrical trade and is confident independently managing budgets, schedules, field operations, and client relationships while safeguarding quality, safety, and profitability on every project. This is a full-time, on-site position.

Key Responsibilities

  • Direct commercial electrical projects through every phase, from budgeting and preconstruction planning to installation, commissioning, and turnover.
  • Develop and manage project schedules, procurement plans, manpower requirements, and cost forecasts to deliver work on time and on budget.
  • Lead and coordinate superintendents, foremen, electricians, vendors, subcontractors, and general contractors throughout construction.
  • Evaluate contracts, electrical drawings, and specifications to confirm scope and identify design conflicts before they reach the field.
  • Manage change orders, RFIs, submittals, material procurement, progress billing, and project documentation.
  • Monitor job costs, labor productivity, cash flow, and budget variances, implementing corrective action as needed.
  • Collaborate with estimating, preconstruction, BIM/VDC, and field operations to keep design, pricing, and installation aligned.
  • Proactively resolve design conflicts, installation challenges, material delays, and scheduling issues.
  • Lead project meetings and maintain clear, consistent communication with clients, architects, engineers, and stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, workmanship standards, and jobsite safety requirements.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of project management experience with a commercial electrical contractor.
  • Required: direct experience with a self-performing commercial electrical contractor.
  • Proven history of managing commercial electrical projects from initial planning through completion.
  • Strong working knowledge of electrical installations, construction sequencing, field supervision, and commercial building systems.
  • Hands-on experience managing project budgets, schedules, procurement, workforce allocation, cost forecasting, billing, and change orders.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, technical specifications, contracts, and construction schedules.
  • Experience coordinating across preconstruction, estimating, BIM/VDC, and field operations.
  • Sound understanding of electrical labor productivity, material costs, and project financial controls.
  • Proficiency with construction project management software and Microsoft Office.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Preferred: experience on healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, industrial, or other complex commercial projects.

Please Note: This role requires direct project management experience with a self-performing commercial electrical contractor. Backgrounds limited to electrical design, consulting, coordination, or subcontractor administration will not meet the core requirements.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company contribution.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
  • A strong, steady pipeline of large-scale commercial electrical projects.
  • Dedicated in-house estimating and BIM/VDC support.
  • Clear opportunities for project ownership, leadership, and career advancement.
  • A collaborative, team-oriented culture.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
