About the Role

You will work closely with customers, general contractors, owners, engineers, electricians, apprentices, subcontractors, and other trades to make sure projects are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within budget.

The role requires the ability to walk and stand on active jobsites, climb stairs or ladders, navigate construction areas, and occasionally lift or carry materials or equipment. Travel to project locations may be required, and occasional extended hours may be necessary depending on project schedules.

• 401(k)

Who Will Succeed in This Role

We're looking for a hands-on electrical construction leader who can effectively manage both the project and the field.

You'll do well in this position if you:

• Know electrical construction beyond the paperwork.
• Can lead electricians and field personnel effectively.
• Understand commercial electrical installation and NEC requirements.
• Can read drawings and understand how the work should be executed.
• Can manage schedules, manpower, materials, costs, and project documentation.
• Are comfortable communicating with GCs, customers, engineers, and other trades.

• Are organized, dependable, safety-conscious, and comfortable balancing office and field responsibilities.

The position is specifically intended for someone who can take ownership of an electrical project from beginning to completion while leading the field execution.
