Industrial Electrical Project Manager - National Travel

Job Description

Job Description

If you’ve run industrial electrical projects — real ones, with MCCs, PLCs, MV switchgear, and crews who answer to you — keep reading.

IPME Corp. is a nationwide industrial electrical contractor and licensed engineering firm operating in 40+ U.S. jurisdictions. Our work lives inside food & beverage plants, automotive assembly lines, cold storage facilities, and material handling operations. We don’t do commercial. We don’t do residential. This is industrial, start to finish.

We’re looking for a Project Manager who has stood in a greenfield project, written a JHA for an automotive manufacturing plant, and knows what quality and compliance looks like.

What You’ll Own

• Full project lifecycle on large-scale industrial electrical installations — mobilization through closeout

• Direct interface with owners, GCs, engineers, and AHJs

• Field crew leadership across self-perform labor and subcontractors, often on multiple sites simultaneously

• Schedules, budgets, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and closeout packages

• Startup, commissioning, and acceptance testing alongside engineers and OEMs

• Safety leadership: JHAs, LOTO, arc flash protocols, OSHA compliance — you set the standard on site

What You Bring

• 5+ years managing industrial electrical projects in a contracting environment — not commercial, not residential

• Hands-on command of NEC/NFPA 70 in industrial settings

• Experience with MV/LV power distribution, motor controls (MCCs), PLCs, and industrial network infrastructure

• OSHA 30 certification (Construction or General Industry) or equivalent

• Ability to lead multi-trade crews under pressure and on deadline

• Journeyman or Master Electrician license is a strong plus — we prefer PMs who came up through the trade

The Deal

• $95,000–$115,000 base salary depending on experience, certifications and licensure

• Per diem + all travel expenses covered — you won’t be out of pocket on the road

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• A small, expert team where your judgment matters and decisions don’t die in a committee

• A company growing fast nationally, with room to grow with it

This role requires 75% travel. If you thrive running projects across the country and want to be where the work is — not managing it from a desk — this is built for you.

To be considered, you must have industrial electrical contracting experience. Commercial or residential backgrounds will not be reviewed.
