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.

• Expertise: Solid command of the NEC, blueprint reading, branch circuits, residential service builds, multi‑family metering, fire alarm installation, and 1000‑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.
