The Opportunity

A prominent electrical services firm specializing in large-scale installations for data centers and critical facilities is beefing up its project management staff. We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager who is eager to learn from senior leadership, own critical project-controls workstreams, and help drive schedule, budget, and quality on fast-moving, high-visibility builds. You will join a collaborative team that embraces innovation, invests in professional development, and rewards results.

• Defined career path - advance into Project Manager or Preconstruction within 18–24 months based on performance.

• Coordinate RFI, submittal, material take-off, and procurement workflows—mentoring Project Engineers on best practices.
• Oversee third-tier trade partners, verifying compliance with safety, quality, and contract standards.
• Support site-based quality-control and commissioning activities, ensuring documentation is complete for turnover.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned and recommending process updates.
• Champion a zero-incident safety mindset, reinforcing NFPA 70E / OSHA protocols across the team.
