Relocation Project Manager Jobs in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Electrical Project Manager

Type: Direct Hire

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Salary: $130K–$155K DOE

About the Role

This Electrical Project Manager role carries full budget, schedule, and client accountability on commercial and industrial electrical construction projects across the greater Los Angeles market.

The employer is a long-established Southern California commercial and industrial electrical contractor. The firm self-performs across healthcare and biotech, higher education, mission critical and data center, transportation infrastructure, manufacturing, and public and government work. In-house capability includes design-build and design-assist preconstruction, a full-scale prefabrication shop, Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination, and a UL-certified control panel shop.

The Project Manager owns assigned projects from award through closeout, reporting to the Vice President of Construction and working under the day-to-day direction of a Senior Project Manager. This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who already carries job cost responsibility. Candidates should be comfortable identifying, pricing, and negotiating change orders directly rather than routing that work to an estimating group.
