Assistant Project Manager - Electrical

Build Your Career. Lead Complex Projects. Become a Project Manager.

Safari Electric, LLC
Bremerton, Washington

Work Location: Tacoma, WA (Joint Base Lewis-McChord)

Salary: $70,000–$105,000 annually

Compensation is based on experience, qualifications, technical knowledge, and demonstrated performance.

Build More Than Projects—Build Your Future.

At Safari Electric, we believe great Project Managers aren't hired, they're developed.

We're looking for a motivated, organized, and ambitious Electrical Assistant Project Manager who wants more than just a job. We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career in electrical construction management and is excited to take on new challenges, learn from experienced professionals, and grow into a Project Manager.

You'll join a team that values integrity, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. From your first day, you'll work alongside experienced Project Managers, General Foremen, owners, General Contractors, architects, engineers, and field teams while gaining real-world experience on complex electrical construction projects.

If you're looking for a company that will invest in your future as much as you invest in your work, we'd love to meet you.

Why Safari Electric?

Safari Electric delivers electrical construction projects that support some of the Pacific Northwest's most important facilities, including military installations throughout Washington.

Our projects include work at:

Naval Base Kitsap
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard
Joint Base Lewis-McChord
Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
Other Department of Defense facilities throughout the Pacific Northwest

These projects provide opportunities to work on complex power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, communications, emergency power, and mission-critical electrical systems while learning from experienced construction professionals.

At Safari Electric, you won't spend years doing the same tasks.

You'll gain exposure to every phase of project delivery and develop the skills needed to become a successful Project Manager.

What You'll Learn

As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll assist in managing projects from award through closeout while developing the technical, financial, and leadership skills necessary to advance your career.

You'll gain hands-on experience with:

Project planning and coordination
Contract administration
RFIs and submittals
Procurement and material management
Shop drawing review
Assist with scheduling and milestone tracking
Assist with budget management and cost forecasting
Change order development and pricing
Client, subcontractor, and vendor coordination
Commissioning and project closeout
Construction documentation
Problem-solving in active construction environments

As your knowledge and experience grow, so will your responsibilities.

Our goal is to prepare you to confidently manage projects of your own.

Primary Responsibilities

Assist Project Managers with the day-to-day management of multiple electrical construction projects.
Review construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and project documents.
Prepare, track, and manage RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and closeout documentation.
Assist with developing, pricing, and tracking change orders.
Assist with procurement of equipment and materials.
Coordinate material deliveries and maintain procurement logs.
Support project scheduling and milestone tracking.
Assist with monitoring project budgets, costs, forecasting, and monthly billings.
Coordinate with General Foremen and field personnel to resolve construction issues.
Attend meetings with owners, General Contractors, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and vendors.
Support commissioning, owner training, and project turnover.
Maintain accurate project documentation using Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, ACC/Procore, and other project management software.
Perform additional project management responsibilities as your experience grows.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys solving complex problems, communicates effectively, and is committed to continuous learning and professional growth.

The ideal candidate is:

Self-motivated and eager to learn.
Organized with strong attention to detail.
Comfortable managing multiple priorities.
A strong communicator who enjoys working with others.
Interested in long-term career growth.
Ready to take ownership and accept new challenges.
Willing to work from active construction jobsite offices throughout the week while partnering closely with Project Managers, General Foremen, field teams, General Contractors, owners, and design professionals.

Preferred Qualifications

1–5+ years of commercial, industrial, or federal electrical construction experience.
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or a related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
Ability to read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, and contract documents.
Experience with Microsoft Office and Bluebeam.
Experience with Procore, ACC, Accubid, ComputerEase, or similar construction software is a plus.

Benefits

We believe investing in our employees is the key to our success.

We offer:

Company-paid medical insurance
Dental and Vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid vacation and holidays
Professional development and continuing education
Mentorship from experienced Project Managers
Clear career advancement opportunities
Exposure to complex federal and military construction projects
A defined career path to Project Manager

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most companies hire an Assistant Project Manager to help manage paperwork.

At Safari Electric, we're looking for someone who wants to become a leader.

You'll be trusted with meaningful responsibilities, encouraged to ask questions, challenged to grow, and mentored by experienced professionals who are invested in your success.

If you're willing to work hard, embrace new challenges, and continue learning, we'll provide the opportunities to build an exceptional career.

Ready to Build Your Future?

If you're looking for a company where your work matters, your growth is supported, and your future has no ceiling, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Safari Electric and help build the critical electrical infrastructure that supports our nation's military, while building a career you'll be proud of.
