Job description

Langley, BC, Canada

$42.00 - $58.00 Hourly

Electrical Foreman – Institutional & Commercial Construction

For large, long‑term high school and middle school projects in Langley, as well as Institutional, commercial and industrial projects throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Who We Are

Since 1987, our company has specialized in institutional, commercial and industrial electrical construction.

We are based in Abbotsford, B.C., with projects throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, including Langley, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Delta, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Squamish.

We currently have two large school projects in Langley, a new indoor soccer facility, and several other institutional and industrial projects underway throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. We also have an upcoming large industrial project in Squamish.

About The Position

We are looking for experienced Electrical Foremen who want long‑term positions and the opportunity to take ownership of challenging, high‑quality projects.

This position is for someone who can do more than install electrical work. We are looking for leaders who can plan ahead, organize manpower and materials, communicate with the project team, and efficiently lead a crew while maintaining our standards for quality and safety.

Our Foremen are an important part of our management team. For the right individuals, there are opportunities to advance into larger Foreman, General Foreman and Superintendent roles.

Our work is primarily institutional, commercial and industrial — not residential. No UBC, Vancouver Airport or downtown Vancouver core projects.

The Foreman We're Looking For

Our Foremen understand that running a job involves more than showing up and putting in the hours.

You should know what your crew is doing today, what they need tomorrow, and what is coming several weeks from now.

You take pride in keeping your project organized, productive and moving forward. You communicate problems early, ask questions when something isn't clear, and work with the Project Manager and office team to find solutions.

Most importantly, you lead by example and earn the trust of the people working for you.
