Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
The posting says project managers generate business as well as run jobs. Tell me about work you've brought in yourself.
What they are checking: Whether they can grow revenue through relationships, not just execute work someone else sold.
Tell me about a project that lost money. What happened and what would you do differently?
What they are checking: Whether they can honestly analyze a failure and name specific lessons instead of blaming the field or the customer.
You manage staff as part of this role. Tell me about someone you developed and what you did to help them grow.
What they are checking: Whether they invest in their people rather than just assigning tasks, which matters for a growing company.
What would you do
The general contractor compresses your schedule by three weeks with no change in scope. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they protect the company through documentation and change orders while still finding ways to help the customer.
How do you work with a superintendent who disagrees with how you want the job sequenced?
What they are checking: Whether they can lead field leaders through respect and data rather than title, since the crew follows the superintendent.
This role can travel up to one hundred percent. How have you managed a project you couldn't be at every day?
What they are checking: Whether they have systems for staying in control of a job remotely through reports, check-ins and trusted field leaders.
About the work
Walk me through how you build and track a budget on an electrical job from estimate to closeout.
What they are checking: Whether they manage cost actively through the whole job and know where electrical projects usually lose money.
How have you used Accubid or a similar tool, and how do you turn an estimate into a working project budget?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the handoff from estimate to operations, which is where many electrical jobs first go wrong.
How do you handle change orders so you actually get paid for extra work?
What they are checking: Whether they document scope changes promptly and fully, which separates profitable electrical jobs from losing ones.
How do you read AutoCAD drawings to spot a constructability problem before it reaches the field?
What they are checking: Whether they review drawings with a builder's eye and catch conflicts while they are still cheap to fix.
