Job Description

This position is for a locally owned growing electrical contractor providing commercial and multifamily electrical construction. We are looking for an experienced Field Superintendent who can lead people, organize work, solve problems, and keep multiple projects moving safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

This is a field leadership position. The Superintendent will initially oversee electrical field operations for a multi-family apartment complex, working closely with the Project Management team, foremen, electricians, apprentices, general contractors, suppliers, and other trades.

Position Summary

The Field Superintendent is responsible for the successful day-to-day execution of work in the field. The right person will be able to see the big picture while staying close enough to the work to identify problems before they impact schedule, labor, cost, or quality. This position will provide leadership across multiple projects, coordinate manpower and resources, support foremen, monitor productivity, and ensure work is installed correctly and completed on schedule.

• Right people. Right place. Right materials. Right information. Right installation. Right time.
