Job Description Electrical Construction Project Manager / Estimator Lighting Maintenance Inc. (LMI) is seeking an experienced Electrical Construction Project Manager / Estimator to estimate and manage commercial and specialty lighting construction projects throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. This is a hands-on position for someone who can take a project from the initial site visit or bid documents through estimating, proposal preparation, award, scheduling, construction, and closeout. Our typical projects range from $25,000 to $500,000, although some projects are larger. Most are completed directly by LMI without the layers of coordination typically found on large, multi-trade construction projects. Types of Projects Projects may include: • Shopping center and parking lot lighting upgrades, • Interior commercial and retail lighting, • LED lighting conversions, • Sports field and stadium lighting, • Roadway and municipal lighting, • Site lighting, pole installations, and underground electrical work, • Lighting controls and related electrical improvements, • Service upgrades, circuit replacements, and electrical infrastructure supporting lighting systems Position Responsibilities The person in this position will: • Review plans, specifications, scopes of work, and customer requirements, • Conduct site visits and develop complete project scopes, • Perform accurate labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and production-cost estimates, • Obtain vendor and subcontractor pricing when necessary, • Prepare clear, detailed proposals, exclusions, qualifications, and alternates, • Identify scope gaps, constructability issues, scheduling risks, and unusual project requirements before pricing, • Submit competitive bids without sacrificing required margin, • Participate in customer meetings and help develop negotiated work, • Manage most projects that are awarded from their estimates, • Develop project budgets, schedules, purchasing plans, staffing requirements, and equipment needs, • Coordinate field crews, materials, equipment, permits, inspections, customers, and subcontractors, • Provide field personnel with clear scopes, plans, budgets, and production expectations, • Track labor, material, equipment, change orders, billing, and project profitability, • Visit active projects as necessary and address issues before they affect schedule, quality, or margin, • Maintain accurate project documentation and provide timely status updates, • Complete project closeout, billing support, and final cost review, • Take responsibility for the financial and operational results of assigned projects What We Are Looking For The right candidate will have: • At least five years of relevant electrical construction estimating, project management, foreman, or superintendent experience, • Strong knowledge of commercial electrical construction and lighting systems, • The ability to estimate both plan-and-specification work and projects developed from field surveys, • Practical understanding of labor production, crew composition, material costs, equipment requirements, and jobsite conditions, • Experience managing multiple projects at different stages, • Ability to read electrical drawings, specifications, one-lines, photometric plans, and related construction documents, • Strong organizational, communication, and follow-through skills, • Sound judgment and the ability to identify problems before work begins, • Working knowledge of applicable electrical codes and safe construction practices, • Comfort working directly with customers, vendors, field employees, and company management, • Ability to use electrical estimating and project-management software, • A valid driver’s license and the ability to travel to project sites within our operating area A journeyman or master electrician license is valuable but not required. Direct, proven electrical construction knowledge and the ability to estimate and manage profitable work are more important than a particular degree or title. Experience with sports lighting, parking lot lighting, LED upgrades, bucket trucks, excavation, directional drilling, or other specialty lighting work is a significant advantage. What Success Looks Like Success in this position means: • Estimates are complete, accurate, and submitted on time, • Proposals clearly define what LMI is and is not providing, • Awarded projects are properly planned before crews arrive, • Field employees have the labor, material, equipment, and information needed to perform efficiently, • Change orders are identified, documented, and approved, • Customers receive timely communication, • Projects finish safely, professionally, on schedule, and at or above the expected margin Compensation • Base salary: $105,000–$135,000, depending on directly relevant experience and demonstrated ability, • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance, depending on the final position structure, • Health insurance, paid time off, retirement plan, and other company benefits, • Opportunity for performance-based compensation tied to measurable estimating and project results This is an opportunity for an experienced electrical construction professional who wants meaningful control over their work. The person who estimates the project will generally manage it, giving them direct responsibility for staffing, material, equipment, scheduling, customer communication, and profitability.
