Senior Electrical Project Manager

The Opportunity

A high-growth, Calgary-based electrical contracting company is seeking a Senior Electrical Project Manager to join their expanding team. This is not your typical PM role — this is a seat at the table of a fast-moving company that is scaling quickly and doing it right.

You will take full ownership of electrical project delivery across a diverse mix of commercial builds and multi-family residential developments (including multi-family-to-housing conversions), leading a team that includes two Project Managers/Coordinators reporting directly to you.

If you thrive in a dynamic environment, love solving complex problems, and want to be part of something that's genuinely growing — read on.

This is a well-capitalized, Calgary-based electrical contracting firm with a team of 50+ skilled electricians and support staff delivering high-quality electrical installations, data networking, and integrated security systems across Western Canada. Founded recently and already operating at scale — this company is not slowing down.
