Electrical Project Manager

The Project Manager leads electrical projects for an international logistics and e-commerce client at new and operating facilities across Canada and the United States. The role focuses primarily on the client's arc flash and electrical safety program: arc flash and power system studies, equipment labeling, lockout/tagout (LOTO) placarding, retrofit and expansion projects at operating sites, and post-launch infrared inspection. Much of this work runs on construction and launch schedules and requires close coordination between engineering and field service teams, general contractors, and site start-up teams. The role may also support other electrical testing, maintenance, and commissioning projects across the account.

The successful candidate owns an assigned portfolio from scope confirmation through field execution, deliverables, customer acceptance, invoicing, and closeout, and works closely with the Program Manager, Strategic Accounts, engineering teams, regional managers, and Field Service Technicians in both countries to deliver Superior Client Experiences. The role makes day-to-day decisions for its assigned portfolio, while the Program Manager retains pricing, commercial, and account-level decisions.
