We are growing Electrical Division and looking for a Sales / Project Manager to drive that growth. This is a hunter role focused on existing commercial and industrial accounts - not bid-market estimating. You'll identify, propose, and close electrical upgrade, retrofit, renovation, design-build, and energy solutions work, then help schedule and prioritize the technical manpower to deliver it. You'll work closely with our Sales Team and Operations Group throughout the sales and delivery cycle.
If you know electrical systems inside and out, can walk a mechanical room or rooftop and see the opportunity, and want to build long-term account relationships rather than chase one-off bids, this role is built for you.
