Manager Health Innovation Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Electrical Project Manager

Type: Direct Hire

Location: San Diego, CA

Salary: $115K–$140K DOE

About the Role

We are recruiting an Electrical Project Manager for an established commercial electrical contractor in San Diego. The role runs projects from estimating turnover through closeout, with full financial responsibility for each job.

The contractor provides fully integrated electrical and building systems installation, with in-house capability spanning pre-construction, new construction, renovation, and maintenance. Project work ranges from small-scale, time-and-materials jobs through large-scale, technology-intensive builds across healthcare, life sciences and laboratory, mission critical, higher education, and federal markets. The company operates in a union electrical environment.

This Electrical Project Manager role suits someone who already owns the numbers rather than only the schedule — someone who has priced change orders, developed a schedule of values, worked from takeoffs alongside field leadership, and closed out as-builts. The position carries the project from conceptual development forward, not only from turnover. Work is performed onsite the company’s East County office.

Qualifications
