IF YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR, WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE

BLVD Electric is recruiting exceptionally connected, aggressive and commercially intelligent people who know how construction work is awarded and know the people awarding it.

We are one of California’s youngest, fastest-growing and most aggressive full-service electrical contractors.

BLVD has grown to approximately 150 employees, including more than 100 field personnel and a substantial engineering, estimating, preconstruction, project-management and administrative organization.

Based on workforce-size comparisons using federal electrical-contractor industry data, BLVD is approximately within the top 3% of electrical contractors by staffing size.

We did not get here slowly.

We built BLVD by moving faster, estimating aggressively, solving problems, taking on difficult work and building the infrastructure required to execute at scale. We have reviewed, priced and pursued thousands of opportunities across virtually every major construction sector.

Now we are opening this platform to people who can bring relationships, access and revenue.

If you can open doors, create qualified opportunities and help win profitable work, BLVD will provide the engineering, estimating, preconstruction, project-management, manpower and operational support behind you.

The company will not become your ceiling.

WE ARE NOT SELLING ONE PRODUCT OR SERVING ONE SECTOR

There is no narrowly assigned vertical.

We pursue electrical work across the market, including:

Electrical service, maintenance and emergency work
Small projects and ongoing facility work
Commercial tenant improvements and complete build-outs
Ground-up construction
Design-build and design-assist projects
Power distribution and electrical infrastructure
Utility coordination, switchgear and procurement strategy
Lighting and lighting-control systems
Low-voltage and integrated electrical systems
Luxury retail and national rollouts
Hospitality, restaurants, hotels and entertainment
Corporate offices and workplace environments
Institutional, educational and public-facing facilities
Mixed-use and large-format projects
Industrial, technology and specialized environments
Renovations, expansions, upgrades and complex special projects

No sector is automatically off-limits.

If an opportunity is lawful, within our capabilities and commercially sound, we are prepared to pursue it. If growth requires BLVD to add people, resources or infrastructure, we will continue building behind the work.

Bring us service work. Bring us build-outs. Bring us ground-ups. Bring us national programs, negotiated opportunities, difficult projects, new sectors and relationships we have not reached yet.

If you can create profitable work, there is no predetermined ceiling on how far you can take this position or how much you can earn.

A PLATFORM THAT IS ALREADY PROVEN

Approximately 150 employees
More than 100 field personnel
In-house engineering and design-assist capabilities
Dedicated estimating and preconstruction resources
Established project-management and operational infrastructure
Low-voltage, lighting-control and full-service electrical capabilities
Experience executing electrical packages valued up to approximately $6.5 million
Active reach throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the Inland Empire
Experience across luxury retail, hospitality, restaurants, commercial interiors, large-format spaces, mixed-use projects and ground-up construction

Our portfolio includes work with or alongside many of the largest and most recognized national brands, general contractors, developers, ownership groups and construction teams in the country.

Specific portfolio experience, relationships, capabilities and market opportunities will be discussed during the interview process.

We have already opened major doors, built a recognizable brand and established the execution platform.

Your job is to help us take it further and get paid directly for the growth you create.

THIS IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, REVENUE AND MONEY

We are not hiring someone to create activity, attend events and send reports.

We are hiring people who can create access and revenue.

You may currently work for, or have previously worked for, a:

General contractor
Developer or ownership group
Construction-management firm
Electrical, mechanical or specialty contractor
Architectural or engineering firm
Commercial real‑estate company or brokerage
Property‑management or facilities organization
Manufacturer, supplier or industry vendor
Construction‑technology or professional‑services company

Your title and exact industry background are secondary.

What matters is:

Who knows you
Who trusts you
Who returns your calls
Which doors you can open
How quickly you think
How well you sell
Whether you can turn relationships into awarded, profitable work

If you have spent years building construction-industry relationships and are ready to monetize that access at a materially higher level, this is the opportunity.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Open relationships with general contractors, owners, developers, construction managers and other project decision-makers.
Secure executive meetings, prequalification opportunities, preferred‑bidder access and invitations to pursue work.
Position BLVD for negotiated, design‑build and relationship‑based opportunities.
Identify projects before they reach the crowded public‑bid stage.
Convert your relationships into qualified opportunities and awarded contracts.
Expand BLVD into additional sectors, accounts and geographic markets.
Work directly with BLVD’s leadership, engineering, estimating and operations teams to build the correct pursuit and proposal.
Track relationships, opportunities, values, probabilities and next actions.
Represent BLVD confidently in executive meetings and high‑level industry settings.
Move quickly, think on your feet and keep opportunities advancing without waiting to be managed.

You create the access and help sell the opportunity.

We perform the technical review, engineering, estimating, proposal development, project management and field execution with you.

WHO WE WANT

Have genuine access to California general contractors, owners, developers or construction decision-makers.
Can get calls returned and meetings scheduled.
Understand how construction projects are identified, influenced, bid, negotiated and awarded.
Have personally originated projects, accounts or material revenue.
Think quickly and communicate effectively under pressure.
Can adapt the pitch based on the customer, project and room.
Are commercially aggressive without damaging trust or credibility.
Understand the difference between valuable work and work that should be declined.
Are hungry to build something larger and earn significantly more money.
Follow through relentlessly.
Want their earning potential tied directly to the value they create.

A particular degree is not required. Relationships, speed, judgment, execution and results matter more.

COMPENSATION AND UPSIDE

Base salary: $100,000 to $150,000
Uncapped commission opportunity
Reasonably expected first‑year commission range: $25,000 to $200,000, based on qualifying originated and awarded business
Exceptional performance can produce compensation beyond that expected range
Final compensation and commission structure will be discussed during the interview process

There is no commission cap.

There is no artificial limit on how many qualified opportunities you may pursue.

There is no point where BLVD will tell a high performer to stop selling because that person is earning too much.

If you produce, you will be rewarded. If you help BLVD grow, your compensation will grow with it.

Candidates seeking the highest end of the base range must be prepared to demonstrate an established network, significant prior results, credible business references and a realistic path to near‑term opportunities.

WE ARE OPEN TO THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENT

We understand that the strongest candidates, relationship holders and dealmakers may not all fit inside one standard structure.

If you have a specific market, relationship network, opportunity pipeline or business‑development arrangement that you believe can create significant value for BLVD, tell us what you can bring and what type of arrangement you would like to discuss.

We are willing to consider customized, lawful and performance‑based structures that reflect:

The depth and quality of your relationships
The opportunities you can realistically originate
The immediacy and value of your market access
Your expected level of involvement
Whether your contribution is broad, market‑specific or opportunity‑specific
The revenue and profit potential you can create

Come prepared to explain what you can do, how you would do it, what support you need from BLVD and what commercial arrangement would motivate you to produce at your highest level.

We will listen.

Any arrangement must be commercially sound, lawful and documented in writing, but the door is open to serious proposals from people capable of creating serious value.

MORE THAN ONE CANDIDATE MAY BE SELECTED

There is no requirement that one person know every general contractor or every sector.

Someone with deep access to one valuable segment may create substantial value.
