Project Management WITHOUT OPERATIONAL DISRUPTIONS

Lighting and EV projects touch your production schedule, your utility incentives, and your warranty exposure for the next decade. We run every project like a mission-critical deployment, with a dedicated PMP-certified project manager, manufacturer-direct accountability, and zero surprises for your operations or tenants.

Why Most Energy Retrofits Go Sideways

Energy retrofits look simple on a quote sheet; fixtures, labor, install date. In reality, they touch your production schedule, your utility incentives, your safety record, and your warranty exposure for the next decade. When this kind of work doesn’t have a single dedicated owner from kickoff through commissioning, the cost of failure compounds quickly.

Production schedules disrupted without warning

Most contractors don’t plan around your shifts, they plan around their crew. One missed schedule on a 24/7 manufacturing line, distribution center, or retail floor can cost more in lost output than the entire retrofit saves in year one.

Rebate paperwork that misses filing deadlines

Utility incentive programs have strict pre-installation and post-installation documentation requirements. Miss one form, miss one deadline, miss one photo and you forfeit five- or six-figure checks the project was already going to deliver.

Warranty claims that stall for weeks

When a fixture fails 18 months in, who picks up the phone? The installer who closed the job and moved on, or a manufacturer rep who’s never heard of your facility? Most retrofit “warranties” collapse the moment they’re tested.

One PM. One Plan. One Point of Accountability.

Every PEC project is run by a dedicated project manager assigned the day you sign the work order. They own the schedule, manage the rebate filing, the manufacturer relationships, and the warranty support, from kickoff through commissioning and beyond. You get one person to call. We handle everything else.

Dedicated Project Management

Assigned the day you sign. Available through commissioning, rebate filing, and warranty support, not just install.

Operations-first scheduling

We plan around your shifts, not ours. 99% of 2025 deployments completed with zero hours of production disruption.

Manufacturer-direct relationships

We don’t sell white-label fixtures. When something fails, we’re already on the phone with the manufacturer who designed it.

Rebate capture, end-to-end

We file all pre- and post-install paperwork, and manage all utility correspondence. We secured millions in utility incentives for our clients last year.

Multi-site rollouts across North America

Your project manager coordinates one schedule across multiple states with the same standards, same reporting, and same accountability model.

Warranty support that actually answers

PEC remains your point of contact for the life of the system. No call-center handoff.

How We Run Your Project

Five steps. Repeatable. Documented. Yours from day one.

Step 1 — Kickoff

Once the proposal is approved, your project manager runs a kickoff call to align on SOW, operational windows, site contacts, and milestone dates.

Step 2 — Site Survey & Scheduling

We  schedule a site walk with your facility lead. We double check fixture counts, identify access constraints, shift patterns, and plan for utility rebate documentation requirements before procurement begins.

Step 3 — Procurement & Staging

Fixtures, controls, and EV equipment are ordered direct from manufacturers, staged in our warehouse or onsite, and inspected before installation begins.

Step 4 — Installation & Commissioning

Crews work the schedule we built around your operations. Each zone is commissioned, light-level tested, and signed off before moving to the next.

Step 5 — Warranty & Support

Rebate paperwork is filed. Documentation is delivered. PEC remains your point of contact for the warranty period, not the install crew.

What Operations and Facility Leaders Say

Project management excellence is hard to claim and easy to test. Here’s what the people we work with — plant managers, facilities directors, sustainability leads — actually say.

PEC was able to provide me with a financial cash flow for the next five years to determine exactly how much and when we would break even, which was really helpful in making our decision to move forward.

Project Management FAQs

How do you minimize disruption during a retrofit at an active facility?

Every project starts with a site survey that maps your shift schedule, peak operational hours, and access constraints. Your project manager builds the installation calendar around those windows — not around our crew availability. For 24/7 facilities, we routinely complete installs in second and third shifts. On the majority of past deployments, production disruption was zero hours.

Who handles utility rebate paperwork?

We do. Your project manager files all pre-installation applications, manages utility inspections, captures the required photo documentation, and submits the post-installation paperwork. 

What happens if a fixture fails after installation?

Your customer service manager is your warranty point of contact, not the install crew. Because we use products direct from legitimate manufacturers (not white-label or off-brand fixtures), we have direct escalation paths to engineering and product support. Most warranty claims are resolved without a site visit.

Can you manage a multi-site rollout across multiple states?

Yes. PEC operates five regional offices (Washington, California, Illinois, Texas, Arizona) and routinely coordinates retrofits across dozens of sites under a single project manager. Standards, reporting cadence, and documentation are identical at every location.

How is a PEC project manager different from a general contractor?

A general electrical contractor manages crews and timelines. A PEC project manager manages your operational continuity, your utility rebate capture, your manufacturer warranty exposure, and your post-install support. They’re dedicated to a small portfolio of accounts, and accountable for outcomes beyond the install date.

What does your project kickoff process look like?

Within 5 business days of signing the work order, your project manager schedules a kickoff call with your facility lead, operations contact, and finance contact. We confirm site access, identify rebate eligibility, lock the install window, and deliver a written project plan before any crew is dispatched.

Do you handle EV charging project management the same way?

Yes. EV charging deployments add utility coordination, electrical capacity planning, and software commissioning steps — all managed by the same PM model. See our EV Charging page for details.

How are project managers assigned?

Assignments are based on industry experience, geographic proximity, and current project portfolio. Large multi-site rollouts are matched with senior PMs who have run comparable scope before.
