Job description

Ready to lead the site, not just work on it?

Bold Electric is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Journeyperson Electrician ready to take the lead on commercial projects.

As our Commercial Site Lead, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day success of your projects—coordinating people and materials, working with clients, managing inspections, monitoring budgets, and ensuring the finished work meets Bold Electric's standards.

You’ll also lead and develop the people around you, helping build a job site where people work hard, work safely, and work well together.

What You’ll Be Doing

As the on-site leader for commercial electrical projects, you'll:

• Lead and coordinate day-to-day electrical work on commercial job sites
• Read and interpret electrical drawings, plans, specifications and applicable codes
• Coordinate materials, scheduling and site logistics with the Commercial Supervisor
• Assign work and help keep the field team productive and projects moving
• Mentor and train apprentices and journeypersons
• Coordinate inspections, including fire alarm and special inspections
• Communicate with utilities, clients, vendors and other project partners
• Track labour and material budgets and work with the supervisor to review job costs
• Troubleshoot issues and find practical solutions when things don't go according to plan
• Maintain Bold Electric’s expectations for quality, workmanship and site organization
• Lead daily safety practices and ensure company and legislative requirements are followed
• Identify opportunities to make our projects more efficient and profitable

What We’re Looking For

You’ll need to be a certified Journeyperson Electrician with the technical knowledge and field experience to confidently lead commercial work. Beyond the ticket, we’re looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership and follows through
• Can lead a crew without needing to be micromanaged
• Communicates clearly with clients, coworkers and leadership
• Knows how to balance quality, schedule and budget
• Is organized and can keep multiple priorities moving
• Is comfortable using construction-related apps and digital tools
• Stays calm and solution-focused when problems come up
• Takes pride in quality workmanship and a well-run site
• Enjoys teaching and developing less-experienced electricians
• Leads by example when it comes to safety, professionalism and work ethic

You’ll also need a valid driver’s licence with a clean abstract, along with valid First Aid and WHMIS certification.

What Success Looks Like

For us, a strong Site Lead isn’t measured only by whether the lights turn on. Success means safe sites, quality work, satisfied clients, strong communication, developing apprentices, projects completed on time, and keeping labour and material costs aligned with the job.

Why Join Bold Electric?

At Bold Electric, we believe great people build great companies.

We invest in our team, encourage growth, and provide opportunities for employees to evolve their careers. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals who value accountability, communication, craftsmanship, and teamwork.

What You Can Expect:

• 4-day work week
• Competitive hourly rate starting at $42 per hour
• Group Benefits, $500 per year lifestyle account after 90 days
• 2 weeks’ vacation a year to start
• Career development opportunities
• Leadership growth path
• Diverse and challenging projects
• Supportive team culture
