Based out of Bristol, you’ll be responsible for delivering electrical packages on commercial, industrial, and public sector schemes from pre-construction through to handover. This isn’t a “sit behind a desk and tick boxes” role. You’ll be expected to drive delivery, manage subcontractors, protect margins, and keep programmes moving in a fast-paced contractor environment. Key Responsibilities • Lead electrical packages across multiple live construction projects, • Manage subcontractors, site teams, and suppliers to ensure safe, on-time delivery, • Oversee programming, progress reporting, and cost control, • Work closely with commercial teams on variations and valuations, • Ensure compliance with all H&S legislation, RAMS, and QA procedures, • Attend site meetings, client interfaces, and progress reviews, • Support pre-construction input including design coordination and buildability reviews, • Drive commissioning and handover processes to a high standard What We’re Looking For • Proven experience as an Electrical Project Manager or Senior Electrical Project Manager, • Strong background in construction / building services (M&E contractor experience essential), • Comfortable managing multiple projects and subcontract packages, • Solid understanding of electrical systems in commercial/industrial environments, • Strong commercial awareness – you understand cost, programme, and risk, • Confident communicator who can deal with clients, site teams, and senior stakeholders, • SMSTS / SSSTS preferred, • ECS/CSCS (appropriate level) essential, • HNC/HND or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Building Services (desirable) What’s on Offer • Competitive salary based on experience, • Car allowance / company vehicle, • Pension and private healthcare (package dependent), • Long-term pipeline of secured regional projects, • Genuine progression within a growing regional contractor, • Autonomy to run your own projects without micro-management Why Join This is a stable, well-established contractor with a strong regional footprint and a healthy pipeline of secured work. You’ll be joining a business that values delivery over politics, and gives experienced PMs the freedom to actually manage projects properly. If you’re the type of person who likes chaos-controlled delivery, problem-solving on site, and seeing projects through from design to handover — this is the kind of role where you’ll be effective
