WHO WE ARE

Since 1954, Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI) has been powered by people who've built a reputation for delivering high-profile, complex projects. Real, tangible things that alter the landscape and improve lives. And we've done it with integrity for more than 70 years. We're problem solvers and innovation seekers. We're team players and safety fanatics. And we're proud to be part of Quanta Services (PWR:NYSE), North America's largest employer of skilled craft labor. Because what we do is important, but how we do it is everything.

THE ENERGY TEAM

Our Energy Group at CEI builds projects from the field to the grid. Whether it's a solar, battery storage, substation, EV charging, microgrid or converter station project, our skilled project managers, engineers and field employees deliver when it matters most. We work with customers on programs of all sizes-those spanning several smaller sites or spanning several thousand acres. Besides building some of the nation's largest utility-scale solar plants and installing more EV charging stations in California than any other contractor, we are dedicated to running a business that is environmentally responsible.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking Construction Project Management professionals prepared to work as long-term travelers with per diem supplements if applicable. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of construction projects and the successful management of a high-performing team. You will manage the planning, execution, and financial performance of your projects using business practices that are consistent with our company values - people, safety, integrity, innovation, and excellence.

ABOUT YOU

You are willing and excited to learn-with a continuous focus on cultivating a growth mindset. You bring a wide range of skills from being organized to communicating through various channels and collaborating with your team members. You are comfortable taking initiative and ownership of your work. You are not afraid to throw on a pair of boots and your protective personal equipment (PPE)-safety first!

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

At Cupertino Electric you'll be on a career development path to project management. You'll work directly for a project manager or project executive on a team that partners with field, engineering, and design teams. It's ok if you don't have a deep understanding of electrical construction, just be ready to learn and get fired up. You'll have the opportunity to soak up knowledge from everyone you work with - from the journeyman and general foreman to the project team assigning daily tasks. In addition to on-the-job experience and mentoring from your peers, you'll attend vendor off sites, training classes, and other learning opportunities.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Any combination of education and experience that would likely provide the required knowledge, skills and abilities as well as possession of any required licenses or certifications is qualifying.

Education: High School Diploma or GED required. Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management, Business, Engineering, or similar preferred.

Licensure/Certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent preferred.

Experience: Three (3) years in renewable energy, PV preferred.

Driving Record: Valid state-issued driver's license and satisfactory driving record.
