Job description

TEP Electric is seeking an experienced Commercial Electrical Foreman to lead crews on commercial construction projects, including ground-up construction, tenant build-outs, renovations, conversions, and large-scale commercial remodels.

This is a hands-on field leadership position. We're looking for someone who can run a crew, read plans, lay out work, plan ahead, solve problems, and keep a project moving without requiring constant direction from the Project Manager.

What You'll Do

• Lead electricians and apprentices in the field
• Plan and lay out daily and weekly electrical work
• Read and work from commercial electrical drawings and specifications
• Manage manpower, productivity, quality, and jobsite safety
• Coordinate with GCs, superintendents, inspectors, other trades, and TEP project management
• Plan ahead for manpower, materials, tools, and equipment
• Identify field conflicts, delays, schedule impacts, and out-of-scope work early
• Ensure installations meet plans, specifications, NEC requirements, and TEP standards
• Maintain accurate field documentation and progress reporting
• Coordinate inspections, punch lists, and project closeout
• Train and hold crew members accountable
• Work alongside the crew when needed to maintain production and schedule

What We're Looking For

OSHA 10/30 certification and experience with construction management or field documentation software are a plus.

What We Expect

At TEP Electric, the Foreman owners the project in the field.

That means looking ahead, knowing what your crew needs next, managing labor responsibly, communicating problems early, maintaining quality and safety, and keeping the project moving.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, leads by example, and understands that a successful job requires more than simply completing today's task.

Schedule:

Primarily Monday–Friday. Some projects may require evening, overnight, or weekend work depending on customer and project requirements.
