McPhee Electric Ltd., a Phalcon Company

McPhee Electric is a leader in utility and industrial electrical construction, delivering mission-critical infrastructure including substations, transmission, and high-voltage power systems across the Northeast.

We are seeking a Project Manager with direct electrical contractor experience to lead complex projects from preconstruction through closeout. This role is built for a hands-on operator who understands how work is installed in the field, owns project financial performance, and partners closely with field leadership to deliver safely, efficiently, and at a high level of quality.

What You’ll Do

• Lead utility and industrial electrical construction projects (substations, transmission, industrial power) from award through closeout
• Own project scope, schedule, budget, and forecasting, ensuring strong financial performance
• Partner closely with Superintendents and Foremen to drive field execution and productivity
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and documentation with a focus on accuracy and speed
• Identify and mitigate project risks, maintaining alignment with Quality, Safety, and Productivity (QSP) standards
• Build strong relationships with clients, vendors, and internal teams through consistent communication and accountability
• Support and develop Assistant Project Managers and emerging talent.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience with an electrical contractor or subcontractor managing utility or industrial electrical construction projects
• Proven experience leading projects end-to-end (preconstruction through closeout), not just supporting
• Strong understanding of electrical installation, construction sequencing, and field operations
• Experience managing project financials, including budgets, forecasting, and change orders
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, field-driven environment with high accountability
• Clear, direct communicator who can work effectively with both field teams and clients

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience with substations, transmission, or high-voltage systems
• Background working with self-perform electrical contractors
• Experience managing multimillion-dollar electrical scopes ($5M+)
