Commercial & Service Work Electrical Project Manager

Location: Melbourne, VIC (Victoria-wide projects)

Employment Type: Full-time

Salary: Negotiable, with performance-based incentives

We're looking for a proven leader in the electrical industry someone who thrives on responsibility, can keep multiple projects running smoothly, and has the confidence and know‑how to handle any challenge on site or in the office.

The role involves overseeing a mix of commercial and service-based electrical works across Victoria, from programmed maintenance to complex fitouts and infrastructure upgrades. It calls for a professional who's comfortable directing a team, liaising with clients at boardroom level, and rolling up their sleeves when a job needs pushing over the finish line.

This is not an entry‑level management role we want someone who's been in the game long enough to know the pitfalls before they happen, can read a project before the drawings are complete, and understands that success comes from the right balance of planning, people management, and on‑the‑ground execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of multiple commercial and service projects across Victoria, ensuring safety, quality, and profitability
  • Work closely with clients, stakeholders, and suppliers to build strong, long‑term relationships
  • Guide and motivate field teams, setting clear expectations and mentoring less experienced staff
  • Coordinate all aspects of project delivery including design input, procurement, scheduling, and site operations
  • Identify and resolve project risks early, using practical solutions built from real industry experience
  • Take ownership of budgets, variations, and progress claims to ensure financial targets are met
  • Be prepared to get involved hands‑on when deadlines or site conditions demand it

Skills & Experience

  • Minimum 5+ years in an Electrical Project Manager role (extensive industry experience highly regarded)
  • Background as a Director, business owner, or senior leadership position desirable
  • Strong technical grounding in commercial electrical installations, maintenance, and compliance
  • Proven ability to motivate and lead teams while maintaining accountability
  • Organised, methodical, and confident managing multiple priorities at once
  • Proficient in systems, protocols, and apps for project tracking, reporting, and communication
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to entertain clients and build rapport
  • Current Victorian Driver's Licence

What's on Offer

  • Attractive salary package
  • Company vehicle, laptop provided
  • Autonomy to run projects, backed by a supportive management team
  • A mix of hands‑on site involvement and high‑level client engagement
  • Opportunity to work with established long‑term clients across Victoria
