About the Role

We are partnered with a Fortune 500-backed electrical construction firm to recruit a Commercial Electrical Project Manager for their Martinez, CA (Bay Area) branch. Our client is one of the Bay Area’s most established commercial electrical contractors, with a portfolio spanning healthcare and hospital construction, commercial tenant improvements (TI), ground-up commercial and institutional buildings, educational facilities, mixed-use developments, and municipal and civic projects.

Our client is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work. The parent company’s scale provides meaningful career development opportunities, while the Martinez branch offers the close-knit culture and Bay Area project variety that keeps experienced PMs engaged for the long term.
