Innovar Group is supporting multiple Project Manager – Electrical Construction opportunities with a well-established construction organization in the Denver area. 

Candidates must come from an electrical background, with practical experience in electrical construction before advancing into project management responsibilities.

The ideal candidate will bring direct electrical project management experience and the ability to own electrical scope from planning through execution and closeout. This is not a general construction PM, GC, or MEP coordination role. The team needs candidates who have advanced into electrical project management and understand what it means to manage electrical scope for an electrical contractor.

• Manage project budgets, schedules, forecasting, cost control, labor productivity, and financial performance.

• Participate in project turnover meetings, staff meetings, and ongoing project coordination.

• Review, finalize, and distribute project budgets and schedules.

• Ensure permits, licenses, submittals, logs, contracts, RFIs, and required project documentation are completed and maintained.

• Coordinate procurement of materials and equipment to support project schedules and budget goals.

• Prepare, process, and manage subcontract agreements.

• Develop billing schedules of values and support progress billing, retention, and payment collection.

• Price, negotiate, and process change conditions and change orders.

• Review, approve, and process subcontractor and supplier invoices.

• Monitor project staffing needs, labor resource loading, productivity, and field force planning.

• Direct experience managing electrical construction projects for an electrical contractor.

• Clear progression from electrical field, project engineering, assistant PM, or similar background into project management responsibilities.

• Strong understanding of electrical scope ownership, labor planning, foreman coordination, procurement, change orders, cost control, production tracking, schedule impacts, RFIs, submittals, and overall electrical execution.

• Experience with project budgets, schedules, contracts, change orders, procurement, billing, and closeout.

• Ability to coordinate project teams, subcontractors, field personnel, and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Strong understanding of construction documentation, submittals, permits, schedules of values, and contract administration.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining strong attention to detail and financial accountability.
