This is an excellent opportunity for a construction professional who wants to build a long-term career in commercial electrical construction, with hands-on exposure to complex projects and a clear path toward Assistant Project Manager and Project Manager roles.

Projects may include healthcare, higher education, institutional, manufacturing, industrial, and other complex commercial facilities.

  • Assist with project schedules, budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, billing, and financial reporting.
  • Participate in project meetings, site visits, coordination meetings, and progress reviews.
  • Coordinate with estimating and BIM/VDC teams on constructability, design coordination, material requirements, and installation planning.
  • Maintain accurate project records, meeting minutes, correspondence, drawings, logs, and document control.
  • Assist with material takeoffs, procurement planning, project logistics, commissioning, punch lists, and closeout activities.
  • Help track project progress and identify potential schedule, procurement, cost, documentation, or coordination issues.
  • Follow up with project stakeholders to ensure outstanding items are resolved in a timely manner.
  • Support compliance with project specifications, contract requirements, company standards, quality expectations, and safety objectives.
  • Provide general project support to help keep electrical construction activities organized and moving according to plan.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in commercial construction, project engineering, or electrical construction.
  • Experience with a commercial electrical contractor or specialty electrical subcontractor preferred.
  • Working knowledge of commercial electrical systems, installation methods, construction sequencing, and field operations.
  • Familiarity with RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, scheduling, and construction documentation.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, contracts, and project schedules.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction software such as Procore, Bluebeam, or similar platforms.
  • Strong organizational, communication, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and project deliverables in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable communicating with field personnel, subcontractors, vendors, general contractors, and internal project teams.
  • Willingness to travel to project sites throughout the Detroit metropolitan area.
  • Experience with healthcare, higher education, institutional, manufacturing, industrial, or other complex commercial projects is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
