• Read and work from engineered drawings, bills of material, cut lists, and BIM/VDC output to support production.
• Coordinate materials, kitting, labeling, staging, and delivery to ensure complete assemblies reach the field in installation sequence.
• Verify completed assemblies against approved documents and elevate discrepancies to Project Engineering or Field Leadership.
• Coordinate with Project Management, Engineering, BIM/VDC, Purchasing, Warehouse, and Field Operations.
• Lead, train, coach, and evaluate department employees while maintaining clear expectations for quality, productivity, and accountability.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized shop and ensure department standards are followed.
• Track production output, labor hours, rework, and waste to identify opportunities for improvement.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, inventory systems, and production tracking software.
• High School Diploma/GED.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to pass a mandatory drug screen and provide three professional references.
• Willingness to work the schedule necessary to meet department and project requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Commercial or industrial electrical construction experience or experience supervising an electrical prefabrication operation.
• Familiarity with MC cable, flexible conduit, EMT, RMC, IMC, power and fixture whips, rough-in assemblies, and equipment sub-assemblies.
• Experience with BIM/VDC model output and engineered fabrication documentation.
• Experience building to UL 508A or other listed-assembly requirements.
• Lean manufacturing, 5S, or continuous improvement experience.
• OSHA 10/30 or forklift certification.
