Job Description

Assistant Project Manager – Commercial Electrical Construction (Bay Area, CA)

Walnut Creek, CA (Onsite)

$100,000 – $125,000 base salary + bonus potential

About the Opportunity

Join a well-established and highly respected electrical contractor that’s been a trusted partner in the Bay Area construction industry for decades. Known for delivering complex projects in healthcare, higher education, and commercial markets, this team provides full lifecycle services from preconstruction through project completion, on large-scale, high-profile builds.

This is a unique opportunity for a motivated Assistant Project Manager to grow their career in a stable, collaborative environment where tenure averages over 20 years and internal advancement is strongly encouraged.

What You’ll Do

As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll support Project Managers and Senior PMs on large-scale commercial electrical projects valued at $20M+ , ensuring seamless execution from start to finish. Your role will include:

  • Assisting with the management of active projects valued at $20–30M (one large project or multiple mid-sized jobs).
  • Handling project documentation including contracts, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and progress reports.
  • Supporting scheduling, budgeting, forecasting, and cost tracking efforts.
  • Coordinating with field teams, subcontractors, vendors, and clients to keep deliverables on track.
  • Managing basic estimating tasks, takeoffs, and budgeting (experience with Accubid or similar tools is a plus).
  • Contributing to the preparation of proposals, progress reports, and closeout documentation.
  • Identifying and helping resolve potential project issues before they escalate.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a proactive, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a collaborative, relationship-driven culture. Ideal candidates will bring:

  • 2–5 years of experience in commercial construction project management, ideally within the electrical sector .
  • Proven experience supporting projects of $20M+ in value.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and multi-tasking skills in a fast-paced environment.
  • Familiarity with project documentation, estimating practices, and construction workflows.
  • Healthcare or higher education project experience preferred (industrial-only backgrounds are not a fit).
  • Knowledge of construction software such as Bluebeam, Trimble VISTA (ERP), ProjectSite (Procore equivalent), and AutoCAD .
  • A steady, consistent work history, we value career longevity and reliability.

(Bachelor’s degree or certifications are not required but industry knowledge is essential.)

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Growth-focused environment: Clear path for advancement into Project Management roles.
  • Collaborative culture: Relationship-driven team with strong internal support and communication.
  • Excellent benefits: Comprehensive healthcare coverage and additional union benefits available.
  • Impactful work: Contribute to some of the Bay Area’s most significant healthcare and education projects.

Please Note: This position is open to candidates who are authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future visa sponsorship. We are not able to consider C2C arrangements or third-party submissions.
