• Bend and install conduit (EMT, rigid) for panel feeds and device runs; set junction boxes, device boxes, and supports
• Dress and label wire and cable in panels and pull boxes to a professional standard
• Coordinate with general contractors, inspectors, AHJs, and other trades on active job sites

• Ability to read and interpret fire alarm drawings and riser diagrams
• NICET certification (any level) preferred but not required
• Low‑voltage license or card (Colorado) is a plus. Comfortable working in active commercial construction environments — multi‑story buildings, data centers, warehouses, and similar
• Strong attention to detail; takes pride in workmanship and code‑compliant installs
• Dependable, communicates well, and works effectively with other trades
• Pay Rate: $25–$30/hr depending on experience and certifications
• Work primarily within the Denver metro area
• Occasional short‑term travel may be required; per diem and travel expenses covered
