Electrical Foreman (Public Works - Prevailing Wage)

Sunstall Inc.; West Covina, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

CALTEC Corp. in the Los Angeles area seeks a working foreman to lead an electrical crew on a large public works upgrades project. You will read plans, coordinate with AV, structural steel, and mechanical trades, and manage safety, scheduling, and daily reports.

Required are California electrician certification, 5+ years as journeyman with foreman experience, and ability to pass background checks. Preferred include OSHA30, experience on large venues, and familiarity with Procore. Bilingual a plus.

Qualifications

• California Electrician Certification (State of California ET/General Electrician certification) current
• Minimum 5 years as a journeyman electrician, with at least 2 years running crews as a foreman
• Demonstrated experience on prevailing wage/public works projects and familiarity with certified payroll obligations
• Experience running apprentices productively and maintaining compliant apprentice ratios on public works projects
• Ability to read and build from electrical plans, single-lines, and specifications without hand-holding
• OSHA30 (or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire)
• Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and any Owner-required background check
• Comfortable working at height and in an occupied/active facility environment

Responsibilities

• Lead and layout the daily work of an electrical crew on an active public works site—feeders, panels, branch circuitry, lighting circuits, underground raceway and generator feeders, AV and low-voltage rough-in coordination, and overhead work at height
• Read and build from approved plans and specifications; identify conflicts early and route them to the PM as RFIs before they become delays
• Call in inspections on time and pass them the first time—particularly underground and cover inspections
• Keep apprentices productively engaged and maintain compliant apprentice ratios
• Run the three-week lookahead for your scope and keep the crew loaded again until it
• Coordinate daily with the AV, structural steel, and mechanical trades working the same areas
• Own daily reports, timecards, and accurate labor coding by cost code—this feeds certified payroll and the incentive plan below
• Enforce site safety: daily tailgate meetings, fall protection at height, LOTO and energized work procedures
• Take and document your meal and rest periods, and ensure your crew does the same
• Manage materials staging, tool and equipment accountability, and waste handling
• Walk and close punchlists; support as-built markups, O&M turnover, and inspections sign-offs
• Interface with the Owner's inspector and Construction Manager professionally in coordination with the Electrical Superintendent and PM
