About VMA Electric

VMA Electric is a family-owned electrical contracting company built on the belief that great work and great people go hand in hand. We serve Central Massachusetts and we are growing — fast. Our mission is simple: deliver electrical services so good that our customers never have to look anywhere else, while building a team where every person has a real path to personal, professional, and financial growth. We don’t just talk about culture — we hire for it, reward it, and hold each other to it every day. You’re a person here, not a number. Our core values aren’t wall art. They drive every decision we make: we are Customer-Focused, Results-Driven, Process-Driven, and Collaborative — and we only bring on people who are all four.

Performance Objectives

Manage all awarded projects across Residential and Construction divisions from contract execution through final billing, ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery
Maintain project schedules with zero tolerance for unplanned delays; identify critical path risks weekly and resolve before they impact crews or clients
Oversee subcontractor coordination, material procurement alignment with Field Logistics, and job site readiness for every active project
Conduct weekly project status reviews with field leads, documenting progress, open issues, and schedule variance in ServiceTitan
Maintain real-time project financial dashboards tracking labor hours, material costs, and margin performance versus estimate on every active job

Develop and mentor junior project coordinators, building organizational depth within the project management function
Represent VMA Electric professionally in all client, GC, and inspector interactions throughout the project lifecycle

Proficient in project management tools and AI to drive efficiency, reporting, and communication
Leads through accountability — direct, respectful, and unwilling to accept chronic underperformance from crews or vendors
