• Travel to project sites across Canada as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in high voltage, substation, utility, or industrial electrical construction.
• Previous experience leading crews, coordinating site work, or acting in a foreperson/supervisory role.
• Strong understanding of construction safety, scheduling, and field coordination.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and project documents.
• Strong communication and problem‑solving skills.
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel for project work.
