Job description

SoBro Construction is a non-union specialty contractor in the Pacific Northwest, with divisions in electrical contracting and wireless/low-voltage. We do commercial and industrial electrical work across Oregon and Washington.

We're hiring a General Superintendent to lead our electrical division's field operations - the senior licensed electrician who owns how our work gets built. This is a leadership seat with real scope: you set the field standard, run the crews and the schedule across all active jobs, and help drive the division's performance alongside ownership. It's a working leadership role for a subject-matter expert, not an office-only position.

This is a full-time, in-person role based in Hillsboro, OR. Contractor-side field leadership experience is required; this is not a design engineering position.

What you'll own

• Field operations across the electrical division: crews, scheduling, sequencing, quality, and installation integrity on all active projects
• Manpower planning and crew development - hiring input, training, and building the field team
• Jobsite safety and code compliance (OSHA, NEC, and state regulations)
• Technical authority for the division - the final word in the field on code, methods, and constructability
• Job walks, site assessments, and pre-construction planning
• Technical input to estimating and bids: constructability, labor, and methods
• Scope-change identification and field-side change order support
• Client and GC relationships at the site and project level - the senior face of our field work
• Division performance alongside ownership: production, labor efficiency, and margin awareness

Who we're looking for

• Oregon Journeyman Electrician license required; Supervising Electrician, Washington 01/Master, or General Electrical Administrator credentials a strong plus
• Deep commercial and/or industrial experience with a track record leading field operations - general foreman or superintendent level, running multiple crews and jobs
• Strong on plans, specs, and code - the person others check their work against
• Commercially sharp: understands labor hours, materials, and change orders as money, and manages the field accordingly
• Develops people - builds foremen and journeymen, doesn't just direct them
• Present and hands-on during the work day, for the field, the office, and clients
• Comfortable in a lean company with real autonomy and real accountability
• Oregon and/or Washington experience preferred; prevailing wage familiarity a plus

Compensation

$120,000-180,000 base salary depending on experience and licensing, plus license premiums. Health benefits, paid holidays, and PTO. This seat is the path to running the division - for the right person, the role grows into full divisional leadership as the company grows.
