Most electrical contractors need a Project Manager who files paperwork and attends meetings. We need someone who runs the work. Bilingual English/Spanish is ideal for this role. Volt Tech is a commercial and industrial electrical contractor based in Raleigh, NC. We power the buildings that power other businesses — retail centers, industrial facilities, commercial construction. We're 14 techs strong, targeting $15M in revenue by 2027, and expanding into South Carolina and Virginia. The thing slowing us down right now isn't sales, isn't technical skill, and isn't the team. It's bandwidth. Byron (our founder) is carrying estimating, client relationships, AND project oversight. That's the gap we're hiring to close. We're not looking for a project administrator. We're recruiting a 2nd-in-command for the field. THE PATH Project Manager — Year 1: $85,000 You take ownership of active project tracking: schedules, budgets, client communication, crew coordination, and status updates. Byron still owns estimating and client relationships. You own execution once the job is sold. Senior Project Manager — Year 2+: $90,000–$110,000 You've proven the system works without Byron in the middle of it. Jobs close on time. Clients get proactive updates before they ask. The team trusts your direction. You're running multiple projects simultaneously across the Raleigh market. Operations Leader — Year 3+ (as we expand): As we open into South Carolina and Virginia, the person who's built the project engine becomes the person who helps build the next one. With it will come win-win compensation plan and other opportunities for growth. Expansion is the ceiling — and it's high. WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE You'll spend your mornings reviewing where every active job stands — schedule, budget, open issues, crew status. You'll make the calls that keep things moving. When a material delivery is wrong, you fix it before the crew shows up. When Byron is in an estimating meeting, you handle the client escalation. Some days are clean. More days aren't. Commercial electrical work runs on tight margins, tight timelines, and general contractors who expect accountability. You'll be the one accountable. You'll be on active construction sites regularly. You'll also be the person who reports what's actually happening. Not what sounds good. Not what Byron wants to hear. The actual status of every active project delivered clearly, consistently every week. If you're looking for a desk job with clear boundaries and predictable days — this isn't it. If you want to actually run something and see the results of your work go vertical on a building — you're in the right place. WHO BELONGS HERE • Continuous Improvement — You don't need to know everything about electrical. You need to learn fast and adapt. Your time to run a project smoothly should shorten every quarter. • Accountability — Take ownership of the work you are doing on a project. If they don’t complete their work, it affects everyone. If you’re just here for a check, this isn’t the crew. **** • Own the Solution — When something breaks on a jobsite, you troubleshoot and resolve before calling Byron. You report what you did, not what you need. If you made a mistake, you say so the same day and tell us how you fixed it. • Preparation — Zero wasted first hours on site. You review scope, confirm materials, and know what the crew is walking into before they walk into it. Scrambling is the enemy. • Protect the Company — You hear about a problem before Byron does. That's the standard. If something happened on a jobsite that could reflect poorly on Volt Tech, Byron knows from you first — not from the contractor, not from the client. • Finish the Work — You take ownership of the projects on your plate. If your schedule slips, it affects the whole crew. "I was waiting on someone else" is not an answer. • Continuous Improvement — You don't need to know everything about electrical. You need to learn fast and adapt. Your time to run a project smoothly should shorten every quarter. • Respect — We're not the most important trade on the jobsite, and we don't act like it. You work alongside general contractors, other trades, and clients. You show up without ego.
