  • Coordinate with field supervision and engineering to resolve technical issues and maintain project quality standards.
  • Ensure full compliance with project safety plans, Dacon's safety standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Prepare and present project status reports, schedule updates, and financial summaries for senior management and clients.
  • Prepare and manage complete project estimates for assigned bid opportunities, including labor, material, subcontractor, and equipment costs for substation and medium- to high-voltage electrical construction projects.
  • Lead pre-bid site walks and bid strategy discussions; coordinate subcontractor and vendor solicitations to support competitive and accurate estimates.
  • Review and validate estimate assumptions, exclusions, and clarifications; participate in the bid review and approval process prior to proposal submission.
  • Support the handoff from estimate to execution by clearly communicating cost assumptions, scope inclusions/exclusions, and risk items to the project delivery team.
  • Perform special projects and complete other duties as assigned or requested.

How You Will Make an Impact
  • Drive safe, on-time, and on-budget delivery of electrical construction projects, directly contributing to Dacon's revenue and profitability.
  • Strengthen client relationships through proactive communication, issue resolution, and consistent delivery of project commitments.
  • Develop and mentor junior project management staff, building organizational capacity and supporting career growth within the team.
  • Protect project financial health by maintaining rigorous cost controls and actively managing the change order process.
  • Contribute to business growth by developing accurate, competitive estimates that support successful bids on high-voltage and power construction projects.
  • Advance Dacon's safety culture by championing compliance with safety plans and modeling leadership behaviors in the field.

Minimum Qualifications / Experience
