Commercial Electrical Project Manager
Location: Naples, Florida Relocation Assistance: available for the right candidate Projects: Commercial - New Construction | Renovations | Specialized Projects
Position Overview As a Commercial Electrical Project Manager, you will plan, manage, and oversee commercial electrical projects from startup through closeout. You'll be responsible for keeping multiple projects organized, properly documented, accurately billed, on schedule, and financially on track.
Projects will include a mix of new construction, renovations, tenant improvements, and specialized commercial work. You’ll work closely with field leadership, general contractors, clients, vendors, and internal teams.
This is a hands-on role that combines field awareness with strong back-office project management. We're looking for someone who can independently manage the core responsibilities of a commercial electrical project rather than someone who needs to be trained on the fundamentals.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
- Independently manage 2-3+ commercial electrical projects, typically ranging from $1M-$5M each, from startup through closeout.
- Review plans and specifications and complete or validate electrical takeoffs and estimates.
- Manage SOVs, submittals, RFIs, change orders, schedules, budgets, and project documentation.
- Own WIP, progress billing, cost forecasting, and project profitability.
- Coordinate labor, materials, procurement, and execution with Superintendents and Foremen.
- Maintain regular jobsite presence and proactively resolve project issues.
- Serve as a primary point of contact with general contractors and other project stakeholders, confidently communicating project status and advocating for Premier's scope, schedule, change orders, and commercial interests.
- Manage project information through Procore or comparable software.
What You’ll Bring (Qualifications)
- 5+ years of commercial electrical project management experience; Residential-only experience will not provide the foundation needed for this position.
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage commercial electrical projects from start to finish.
- Hands-on experience with takeoffs/estimating, SOVs, submittals, RFIs, change orders, progress billing, and WIP/project financial reporting.
- Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems, construction practices, drawings, specifications, and applicable codes.
- Experience managing project budgets, schedules, costs, and profitability.
- Ability to successfully manage multiple projects and competing priorities simultaneously.
- Experience with Procore or comparable construction management software.
- Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with general contractors, clients, field leaders, and project stakeholders.
- Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
- Ability to travel regularly to active project sites throughout the Naples and Southwest Florida area.
- Entrepreneurial, team-oriented mindset with an interest in helping build and improve a growing commercial electrical operation.
Compensation & Benefits
- $100,000-$130,000 base salary, depending on experience
- Performance bonus opportunity tied to project financial performance and results
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life insurance
- 401(k) with a company match
- Opportunity to help build Premier’s growing commercial electrical operation
- Diverse commercial project exposure throughout Southwest Florida
