Rightway Recruitment is working on behalf of a well-established electrical contractor in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Our client has built a strong reputation within the industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) construction market, delivering technically complex electrical projects with a practical, disciplined approach.

The business operates with a flat structure, open communication, and minimal corporate red tape. The culture is collaborative, grounded, and accountability-driven. Projects typically range from $100K to $4M+, with a strong emphasis on financial performance, labour productivity, and disciplined execution. Long-term client relationships and repeat business are central to how this contractor operates.

We are seeking an ICI Electrical Project Manager to take full ownership of project delivery, financial performance, and execution discipline. This role is suited to a commercially minded PM who understands that strong outcomes are driven by margin protection, labour control, and proactive risk management.

• Track labour burn versus estimate and prepare accurate Cost-to-Complete (CTC) forecasts
• Identify, assess, and mitigate financial and contractual risk early
• Lead change order identification, pricing, submission, tracking, and billing
• Prepare clear, defensible change order narratives and manage CO aging
• Manage manpower loading, crew mix, and labour productivity
• Hold foremen accountable to production targets and intervene when inefficiencies arise
• Review schedules and look-ahead plans for financial and productivity impact
• Push back on unpriced schedule compression, stacking trades, and acceleration
• Maintain professional, well-documented communication with GCs and consultants
• Coordinate procurement and long-lead items to align with schedule and cash flow
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and contract requirements

Required Experience & Skills:

• 5+ years ICI electrical project management experience

• Strong understanding of electrical labour productivity and crew performance
• Demonstrated success managing change orders and claims
• Experience with fast-track and/or design-assist projects

• Base salary: $100k+ (depending on experience)
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Extended health and dental benefits
• Company vehicle allowance
• Stable project pipeline with long-term work security
• Supportive, down-to-earth team culture with minimal bureaucracy
• Opportunity to play a key role in protecting and improving business performance
