What You’ll Do

As a Construction Electrician, you’ll work alongside experienced electrical and construction professionals to help keep projects moving safely and efficiently. Responsibilities include:

• Install and wire electrical systems, including lighting, power distribution, electrical panels, switches, outlets, and circuit breakers, according to blueprints, electrical codes, and project specifications.
• Install, route, secure, and bend conduit while maintaining clean, organized, and accurate installations.
• Identify and troubleshoot electrical issues, including faulty wiring, malfunctioning equipment, and circuit overloads, and repair or replace defective components as needed.
• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, electrical schematics, and project specifications to determine electrical layouts and installation requirements.
• Follow electrical codes, safety regulations, and established procedures to maintain a safe work environment and minimize hazards.
• Inspect and maintain electrical equipment such as generators, motors, transformers, and control systems.
• Install and connect electrical wiring to power sources, including utility lines and generators, and help ensure proper power distribution throughout the construction site.
• Route, secure, and label electrical cables and wiring for organized installations and easier future maintenance.
• Work closely with contractors, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other construction professionals to support an efficient workflow and timely project completion.

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 2+ years of electrical construction experience, with a strong emphasis on conduit installation and bending.
• Valid driver’s license and a good driving record.
• Familiarity with electrical tools, equipment, and testing instruments.
• Knowledge of electrical systems, electrical codes, and safety procedures.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and electrical schematics.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
• Good organizational and time management skills.
• Attention to detail and the ability to perform precise, quality work.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team.

Work Environment & Schedule

This is an active, hands‑on construction position that requires the ability to walk, bend, climb, sit, and stand throughout the workday.

The role also requires:

• The ability to lift up to 100 pounds with assistance.
• Frequent lifting of 10–25 pounds.
• Occasional overhead lifting of up to 20 pounds.
• The ability to use hands and arms to operate basic tools.
• The ability to see, hear, and speak within normal ranges, with or without aids.
• The ability to navigate rough terrain and use a ladder.
• The ability to work both indoors and on construction sites where you may be exposed to outdoor environments and varying temperatures.
• Availability to work 8-hour days, with occasional 10–12-hour workdays as project needs require.
