Electrical Project Manager

Your New Company
Join one of Canada’s most established and respected electrical and mechanical contractors, delivering technically complex, large-scale ICI (Industrial, Commercial, Institutional) projects across the Greater Toronto Area. This organization is known for its strong safety culture, operational excellence, and involvement in landmark projects that shape communities for the future.
Backed by significant resources and industry-leading processes, the business offers a collaborative, high-performance environment where experienced leaders are empowered to make an impact and build long-term careers.

Your New Role
As an Electrical Project Manager (Large Projects), you will be responsible for leading major electrical construction projects across the GTA, including large-scale hospital, commercial, and institutional developments.

You will provide visible leadership in Health & Safety, quality assurance, and performance management while driving productivity and continuous improvement.
Working closely with clients, general contractors, engineers, and internal stakeholders, you’ll proactively manage risk, monitor critical path activities, and oversee forecasting, cost control, and short-interval planning. You’ll also lead value engineering initiatives, cost-saving strategies, and pre-job planning efforts to optimize project outcomes.
A key part of the role involves developing and supporting your project team through regular feedback, coaching, and training, while maintaining strong project controls across document management, change orders, material coordination, site meetings, and progress reporting.

Soft Skills
  • Confident leader with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Strong communicator with the ability to build trust across multiple stakeholders
  • Highly organized with excellent planning and decision-making skills
  • Client-focused and collaborative, with a commitment to project success
What You’ll Get in Return
  • Opportunity to lead high-profile, large-scale electrical projects across the GTA
  • Long-term career growth within a stable, well-resourced organization
  • Exposure to complex and technically challenging work
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package
