• Type: Direct Hire
• Job #13854
• Salary: CA$140,000 Per Hour

Project Manager – Electrical (Major Infrastructure Project)

MatchBox Consulting Group is supporting a leading electrical contractor on a large-scale, multi-year infrastructure project in Metro Vancouver.

This role sits on a high-complexity public project with multiple stakeholders, tight scheduling, and heavy coordination requirements. Experience on transit or rail projects is a strong advantage, but comparable large-scale electrical project experience will also be considered.

If you’ve led complex electrical scopes where sequencing, cost control, and coordination matter, this is a chance to step into a visible, long-term build with real responsibility.

Why This Role

• Work on a major public infrastructure project with long-term stability

• Join a contractor known for delivering technically demanding electrical work

• Exposure to systems-heavy, schedule-driven project environments

• Structured project controls, reporting, and estimating support

• A role with real ownership—not a coordinator or paper PM position

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage day-to-day execution of assigned electrical project scopes

• Act as the primary point of contact for internal teams and client representatives

• Prepare and manage schedules, RFIs, deliverables, and progress reporting

• Track job costs, forecasts, and budgets against actual performance

• Prepare look-aheads, billing documentation, and monthly reports

• Support change management and scope adjustments

• Coordinate closely with field teams, estimators, and leadership

• Ensure constructability, sequencing, and documentation alignment

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of electrical project management experience

• Transit or rail experience is a strong asset, but not mandatory

• Experience delivering large, complex electrical projects (infrastructure, industrial, utility, institutional, or comparable)

• Solid understanding of NEC and relevant local electrical codes

• Ability to interpret and coordinate across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings

• Proficiency with estimating tools (Accubid or similar)

• Comfortable building and managing schedules in MS Project and/or Primavera

• Organized, analytical, and comfortable operating in high-accountability environments

What’s In It For You

• Competitive salary, paid weekly

• Full extended health, dental, life, disability, and critical illness coverage

• $1,200 annual wellness allowance for health and wellbeing expenses

• Strong education and training support

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• Long-term project stability on a landmark build
