We’re a fast-growing, family-feel team that helps industrial and commercial clients slash energy costs through innovative LED lighting and smart-controls retrofits. Join us and turn complex projects into success stories.

What You’ll Own

•

Run the show. Take full life-cycle ownership of $5M+ in concurrent lighting & controls projects your first year (ramping to $6.5M by year two) — from pre-construction planning to final punch-list.

•

Build bullet-proof plans. Create and manage detailed timelines, budgets, site plans, photometrics, and control layouts that keep crews, vendors, and clients perfectly aligned.

•

Protect the margin. Hit target profitability with +4–5% produced vs. sold margin and ≥ 70 % utilization—finding creative savings without compromising quality.

•

Deliver on-time, on-budget. Keep at least 80% of projects on schedule, proactively clearing roadblocks before they bite.

•

Audit & specify like a pro. Perform precise building audits, select best-fit suppliers, and value-engineer solutions that delight customers and maximize incentives.

•

Lead the field. Act as our go-to technical expert—coaching peers, commissioning advanced controls, and sharing best practices that elevate the whole PM team.

•

Delight clients. Provide white-glove communication, and leave every stakeholder eager for the next project.

What Sets You Up for Success

•

2+ years managing $1 M+ commercial/industrial (C&I) projects, or energy-efficiency projects (lighting or controls experience a big plus).

•

Strong budgeting, scheduling, and vendor-management chops; proven record of beating cost and timeline targets.

•

Working knowledge of lighting design, controls commissioning, photometric tools, and utility incentive programs—or the drive to master them fast.

•

Confident communicator who can earn trust, drive consensus, and “do what it takes” to get the job done.

•

Residency on the U.S. East Coast or Southeast and ability to travel regionally 20–30% of the time.

•

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or similar field preferred.
