Job Description

San Francisco, California | Full-time | Predominantly on-site

Elite Executive Solutions is conducting a confidential search for an Electrical Project Manager to lead commercial electrical construction in San Francisco. This role requires direct responsibility for electrical scopes valued at $10 million or more and a predominantly on-site presence to work alongside field leadership and keep the project moving.

The Project Manager will own the electrical budget, schedule, procurement, and change management from project handoff through turnover and closeout. You'll partner with the electrical superintendent or foreman to plan the work, resolve field issues, and coordinate execution with the general contractor and other trades.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the electrical scope at project handoff. Review the contract, drawings, specifications, estimate, and scope exclusions to establish the execution plan.
• Manage the electrical budget, labor and material costs, commitments, billing, and cost-to-complete forecasts. Identify variances early and develop corrective plans with field leadership.
• Build and maintain the electrical schedule in coordination with the general contractor's master schedule. Align manpower, material deliveries, inspections, and installation milestones with field conditions.
• Oversee procurement and track long-lead equipment, vendor commitments, and delivery dates. Escalate risks that could affect installation or turnover.
• Lead the RFI, submittal, and change order processes. Document scope changes, evaluate cost and schedule impacts, and follow through on pricing and approvals.
• Attend on-site coordination meetings, walk the work with field leadership, and resolve installation conflicts with the general contractor, design team, and other trades.
• Support field safety and quality efforts, coordinate inspections and testing, and manage punch lists, turnover documentation, and closeout.

Required qualifications

• Commercial electrical construction project management experience with direct responsibility for an individual electrical scope valued at $10 million or more.
• Demonstrated ownership of electrical budgets, cost forecasting, procurement, scheduling, and change orders.
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and contract documents and translate them into a plan the field can execute.
• Experience working directly with electrical superintendents or foremen, general contractors, vendors, and design teams.
• Ability to work predominantly on-site in San Francisco and maintain a regular presence with the project team.

Preferred qualifications

• Project management experience with an electrical contractor on complex commercial builds.
• Experience managing long-lead electrical equipment and coordinating installation, testing, and turnover.
• Proficiency with construction project management, scheduling, or job-cost reporting software.
