• Lead commercial performance: partner with estimating/business development to drive bid strategy, pricing discipline, risk review, and backlog quality; strengthen contracting and change-order execution.
• Serve as executive point of contact for key accounts—owning customer satisfaction, managing escalations, and ensuring field performance meets or exceeds contractual requirements.
• Champion safety, quality, and compliance (OSHA, NFPA 70E, NEC, client/site requirements), embedding a zero-incident culture and ensuring robust QA/QC, testing, and commissioning standards as applicable.
• Build and lead the organization (project managers, superintendents, foremen, electricians, estimators, and subcontractors): hiring, development, training, performance management, and succession planning; ensure strong field supervision and consistent work practices.

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Electrical Engineering, or related field (preferred); equivalent experience considered.
• 10+ years in electrical construction (industrial/commercial preferred), including 5+ years leading multi-project teams through project managers/superintendents/foremen with accountability for schedule, cost, and safety outcomes.
• Strong technical understanding of electrical construction means-and-methods, drawings/specifications, installation standards, and field productivity drivers; ability to set expectations and coach field leaders.
• Demonstrated business leadership with P&L ownership (or strong financial accountability), budgeting/forecasting, margin management, and KPI-driven operating rhythm.
• Proven track record in safety leadership and compliance (OSHA, NFPA 70E/NEC), customer-facing execution, contract/change-order management, and issue resolution in active construction environments.
