• Review electrical drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and construction documents
• Track project schedules, material deliveries, equipment orders, field progress, and open action items
• Assist estimating and preconstruction teams with takeoffs, scope reviews, project setup, and turnover activities
• Work with BIM/VDC teams to identify coordination conflicts and provide field-ready project information
• Participate in project meetings, jobsite visits, and day-to-day field coordination

Requirements

• 2–5+ years of experience as a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager, or similar commercial electrical construction professional
• Direct experience working for an electrical contractor required
• Commercial electrical construction experience required
• Familiarity with RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, scheduling, and project documentation

• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off
• Defined advancement path toward a Project Manager role
• Opportunity to support large-scale healthcare, university, and institutional electrical projects

This opportunity is ideal for an electrical construction professional who wants direct project responsibility, meaningful field exposure, and a long-term path into Project Management.
