Job description

Job Details

Position: Electrical Superintendent

Industry: Commercial Construction | Healthcare / Complex Projects

Salary: $115,000 - $150,000 per year

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate craftsmanship, character, and commitment to the build.

About Us

We are a forward-thinking construction company based in Birmingham, Alabama, built to challenge the inefficiencies of traditional building. As a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) organization, we bring design, manufacturing, and construction together under one roof—creating a more streamlined, efficient, and accountable way to deliver projects. By self-performing key trades and leveraging modular and prefabrication methods, we complete projects faster, with higher quality, and at a lower overall cost. Our team is driven by a hands‑on, ownership‑focused culture where field leaders are empowered to make decisions, solve problems, and take pride in delivering exceptional results. We measure success by outcomes—not activity—and are committed to craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement. This is an environment for professionals who want to take ownership of their work and be part of a high‑performance team building something different.

Why Join Us

They are building something rare: a fully integrated platform where the people who design, manufacture, and build are the same people. If you’ve earned your way up through the trade, take pride in running a clean job, and want to operate in a system built for high performance, this is where you belong.

Competitive salary, per diem, travel expense coverage, health benefits, 401(k) with match, and a performance‑based bonus program.

Purpose of the Role

Lead the electrical scope on complex commercial projects from mobilization through final inspection. The Electrical Superintendent owns execution across safety, schedule, quality, resources, and margin, and sets the performance standard for all electricians on site.

Core Accountability

Own the full electrical scope on assigned projects ensuring safe execution, on‑schedule delivery, efficient resource utilization, subcontractor alignment, and gross margin protection. Field issues are resolved proactively without unnecessary escalation.

Key Accountabilities

Partner with the Construction Superintendent to enforce safety standards, pre‑task planning, and ICRA compliance, particularly on healthcare projects.
Own and manage the electrical schedule, including look‑aheads, early constraint identification, and recovery planning.
Ensure all electrical installations meet code, contract specifications, and internal quality standards, with inspections passing on the first attempt.
Hold subcontractors to the same schedule, safety, and quality standards as self‑perform crews.

Seamless Ownership of Resources

Own material procurement decisions for the electrical scope—right quantities, right timing, no overages or shortages.
Manage tool inventory and deployment so all tools are staged, tracked, and available ahead of each phase.
Coordinate subcontractor mobilization, sequencing, and scope alignment to eliminate gaps and overlaps.
Forecast labor and material needs on a rolling basis and communicate risks to the Project Manager early.

Productivity & Efficiency of Electrical Trades

Drive daily production performance across all electrical crews by setting expectations, tracking output, and removing constraints.
Use Procore to monitor crew‑level productivity and identify underperformance early.
Coach Foremen and Journeymen on sequencing, staging, and waste elimination.
Identify and implement field improvements that reduce labor hours, rework, and material waste.

Gross Margin Ownership

Understand the project budget and the electrical scope’s impact on overall margin.
Track costs against plan and flag variances before they become unrecoverable.
Eliminate rework, over‑ordering, and inefficient labor deployment.
Partner with the Project Manager to ensure change orders are captured, priced, and processed before scope creep erodes margin.

Traits That Define Success

Ownership Mentality — Own outcomes, not just activity.
Detail‑Driven Execution — Track the details that protect schedule, quality, and margin.
Reliability Through Accountability — Deliver consistently and predictably.
Clear Communication — Surface issues with context and a plan.
Results Orientation — Measure success by outcomes, not hours.
