Job description

Why Edelman?

Are you a master electrician who is ready to run the job, not just work it? At Edelman we’re not just installing systems; we’re building a team of leaders. We’re looking for a Lead Electrician to take ownership of residential and commercial projects from rough‑in through trim‑out, run a crew, and step into Project Manager work on office spaces, restaurants, banks, and commercial build‑outs.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the job site: take full ownership of residential and commercial installations, from blueprint walkthrough to final inspection, working unsupervised on standard replacements and complex builds.
• Run a crew: direct assistants and junior electricians, hit target labor hours, and keep every project on budget and on schedule.
• Project manage: step into Project Manager work on office, restaurant, bank and commercial build‑outs after handoff – walkthroughs, inspections, change documentation, all of it.
• Solve problems: when challenges come up in the field, you’ll find the answer first and only loop in the Electrical Manager when you genuinely need them, always offering a path forward.
• Ensure quality and code compliance: from NEC‑compliant branch circuits to fire alarm installs, your work will meet the Edelman code‑and‑craft standard every time.
• Deliver an experience: as the face of Edelman on the job site, you’ll create a professional, respectful, high‑quality experience for every customer and every general contractor.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: a minimum of 5 years of residential or commercial electrical experience. 7+ years preferred.
• Certifications: valid driver license and insurable through our company insurance carrier. Possess the tools required to perform at Install Level 5.
• Expertise: solid command of the NEC, blueprint reading, branch circuits, residential service builds, multi‑family metering, fire alarm installation, and 1,000‑volt‑and‑below diagnostics. Comfortable with ServiceTitan and ProCore without manager help.
• Mindset: you’re a solutions‑driven problem‑solver and a humbly confident leader who puts the team’s best interest on level with your own – the kind of pro junior electricians want to learn from.
• Dependability: you’re on‑time daily, prepared, organized, and safe – and you take pride in your truck, your tools, and your job site.

If you’re looking for a role where your craftsmanship is the standard and your leadership is part of the job, we want to talk to you. Apply today and start building a career at Edelman that you can be proud of.
