The Role
We€™re looking for an experienced Electrical Project Manager to take ownership of major M&E projects across South Wales and the wider region. Based out of Bridgend, 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 €œsit 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 Site 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.
