The position is designed for someone who wants hands-on involvement in commercial electrical construction while developing into a long-term project leadership role.

• Track project progress, material deliveries, manpower updates, and schedule milestones across active projects
• Participate in project meetings, site visits, and coordination efforts with internal and external stakeholders
• Maintain organized project records, logs, and reporting throughout the construction lifecycle
• Assist with cost tracking, billing support, forecasting updates, and project status reporting
• Help identify and resolve field coordination issues, scheduling conflicts, and documentation gaps
• Support multiple commercial electrical projects simultaneously in a fast-paced construction environment

• 2+ years of experience in commercial construction, electrical construction, or project engineering environments
• Experience working for an electrical contractor, general contractor, or specialty subcontractor preferred
• Understanding of commercial construction processes, project documentation flow, and field coordination
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and project schedules
• Familiarity with Bluebeam, Procore, Autodesk, Microsoft Project, or similar construction software preferred
• Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to operate in a fast-paced project environment
• Must be comfortable supporting active field operations and interacting with superintendents, foremen, and project teams
• Commercial construction experience is required; residential-only experience will not be considered

Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience.
Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, vehicle allowance, bonus opportunities, and other company-sponsored programs.
