Electrical Project Manager

Location: Brooklyn, NY
Salary: $150,000+ DOE
Schedule: Full-Time, In-Office

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Project Manager to oversee large-scale electrical construction projects from initial planning through final completion.

The company specializes in major electrical contracting projects, including ground-up construction and large commercial buildings. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical systems, installation methods, materials, and field execution.

The ideal candidate has a background in electrical construction, either through hands-on field experience or electrical project management, and understands how large-scale electrical installations are planned, coordinated, and executed.

This is not a position for someone whose experience is limited to residential wiring, small service jobs, or basic lighting and outlet installations. We are looking for someone who understands the complexities of electrical systems in large multi-story buildings.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Management: Manage electrical construction projects from start to finish, overseeing planning, coordination, scheduling, execution, and completion.

• Electrical Planning & Execution: Understand how large-scale electrical systems are designed and installed throughout multi-story buildings, including power distribution, electrical panels, risers, conduits, feeders, and wiring routes.

• Shop Drawings: Coordinate and review electrical shop drawings after projects are awarded, including planning and mapping electrical pathways, conduit runs, and wiring routes across each floor of a building.

• Technical Understanding: Understand electrical installation methods, material requirements, equipment, and the practical execution of complex electrical work. For example, know how large electrical panels and equipment are transported and installed on upper floors, what materials and equipment are required, and how the work needs to be coordinated.

• Field Coordination: Work closely with field supervisors, electricians, subcontractors, engineers, and other project stakeholders to ensure work progresses according to plans and specifications.

• Project Oversight: Monitor project schedules, budgets, labor, materials, and progress while addressing issues and delays as they arise.

• Estimating Handoff: Work with the estimating team once projects are awarded to ensure a smooth transition from pricing and estimating into project execution.

• Documentation: Maintain project documentation, review plans and specifications, track changes, and ensure all work is properly coordinated.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Proven experience managing electrical construction projects, preferably involving ground-up construction and large commercial or multi-story buildings.

• Strong understanding of commercial electrical systems, power distribution, electrical panels, feeders, risers, conduits, and large-scale wiring installations.

• Ability to understand how electrical systems are routed, installed, and coordinated throughout large buildings.

• Experience with electrical shop drawings and the ability to read and interpret electrical plans and construction drawings.

• Basic CAD knowledge and the ability to understand and work with CAD drawings.

• Background in electrical field operations is a major plus; candidates with strong electrical project management experience from an office environment will also be considered.

• Strong organizational, communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to manage multiple projects and take ownership from award through completion.
