• Collaborate with executive leadership to align divisional goals with company strategy.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of electrical construction experience, including 5+ years in project management or operations leadership.
• Strong technical knowledge, can walk through a facility and identify scope, estimate scale, and catch red flags.
• Demonstrated success managing multi-million-dollar commercial or industrial projects, ideally in healthcare or institutional construction.
• Proven track record of winning work through relationship building, networking, and strategic pursuit of bid opportunities.
• Skilled in Bluebeam, Accubid (or similar estimating software), Excel, and standard project management tools.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills; able to operate independently with minimal oversight.
• Ability to thrive in a start-up style environment within an established company — self-starter mindset, proactive, and resourceful.

Bonus Points For

• Experience in healthcare, hospital, or clean room construction (their core market).
• Familiarity with union environments and both low-voltage and high-voltage systems.
• Previous success launching or scaling a satellite office or new market territory.
