Electrical Project Manager (Construction)
Location: Bridgend (with occasional regional travel)
Sector: Mechanical & Electrical / Building Services / Construction
Employer: Large regional contractor
Salary: £50-£75k (DOE) + car allowance + package
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Project Manager to take ownership of major M&E projects across South West and the wider region. Based out of Bristol, you’ll be responsible for delivering electrical packages on commercial, industrial, and public sector schemes from pre‑construction through to handover.
This isn’t a “sit behind a desk and tick boxes” role. You’ll be expected to drive delivery, manage subcontractors, protect margins, and keep programmes moving in a fast‑paced contractor environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead electrical packages across multiple live construction projects
- Manage subcontractors, site teams, and suppliers to ensure safe, on‑time delivery
- Oversee programming, progress reporting, and cost control
- Work closely with commercial teams on variations and valuations
- Ensure compliance with all H&S legislation, RAMS, and QA procedures
- Attend site meetings, client interfaces, and progress reviews
- Support pre‑construction input including design coordination and buildability reviews
- Drive commissioning and handover processes to a high standard
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as an Electrical Project Manager or Senior Electrical Project Manager
- Strong background in construction / building services (M&E contractor experience essential)
- Comfortable managing multiple projects and subcontract packages
- Solid understanding of electrical systems in commercial/industrial environments
- Strong commercial awareness – you understand cost, programme, and risk
- Confident communicator who can deal with clients, site teams, and senior stakeholders
- SMSTS / SSSTS preferred
- ECS/CSCS (appropriate level) essential
- HNC/HND or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Building Services (desirable)
What’s on Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Car allowance / company vehicle
- Pension and private healthcare (package dependent)
- Long‑term pipeline of secured regional projects
- Genuine progression within a growing regional contractor
- Autonomy to run your own projects without micro‑management
Why Join
This is a stable, well‑established contractor with a strong regional footprint and a healthy pipeline of secured work. You’ll be joining a business that values delivery over politics, and gives experienced PMs the freedom to actually manage projects properly.
If you’re the type of person who likes chaos‑controlled delivery, problem‑solving on site, and seeing projects through from design to handover — this is the kind of role where you’ll be effective
