Project Engineer - Commercial Electrical Construction

We are seeking a Project Engineer to support commercial electrical construction projects within a self-perform electrical contractor environment specializing in healthcare and institutional work.

This is a hands-on project execution role, not a purely administrative one. You will work directly alongside Project Managers across the full project lifecycle — from preconstruction planning through closeout — contributing to coordination, documentation, and field alignment on active job sites. For the right candidate, this role offers a well-supported path toward advancement into a Project Manager position within the organization.

• Coordinate with field teams, electricians, and foremen to ensure plans and execution remain aligned
• Interface with general contractors, inspectors, and vendors on project-related matters
• Review and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and construction documents
• Assist estimating teams with takeoffs, scope reviews, and project setup activities
• Collaborate with BIM teams to identify and resolve design conflicts and support the development of field-ready plans
• Track project schedules, material procurement, and delivery timelines
• Maintain accurate and current records within project management and ERP systems

Requirements

• 2-5+ years of experience in commercial electrical construction in a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager, or comparable role
• Electrical contractor background required
• Demonstrated experience supporting project coordination including RFIs, submittals, scheduling, and field communication
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and construction documents
• Familiarity with Bluebeam, Accubid, or similar construction management tools preferred
• Genuine interest in growing into a Project Manager role over time
• Hands-on involvement in project execution and day-to-day coordination required
• Commercial electrical experience required — residential-only or GC-only backgrounds will not be considered

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Health insurance and benefits package
• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off
• Defined advancement path toward a Project Manager role
• Opportunity to contribute to large-scale healthcare and institutional construction projects
